They don't own it in any meaningful sense. They do not prevent others from distributing variations and forks via those same channels. It's not like Apple or MS who would sue someone for releasing "Xcode-but-not" or "Visual Studio but not". That's the beauty of OSS. Until you pay them or your desires otherwise align with theirs they don't have to do anything for you, but you aren't prevented from doing it yourself.
My immediate thought. The context to that, is that the prosecutors sent a low quality video to the defense, and then late in the trial introduced a high quality video, which the defense couldn't prepare for; and there was a whole argument as to whether it was willful or not. One of the prosecutors claimed the defense's email client might have compressed the video automatically (not how it works), and claimed not to have the knowledge to compress a video, then people started showing screenshots of his personal laptop with Handbrake on the desktop. Now the prosecution is saying this tampering might have happened at the crime lab that sent the compressed video by email to the prosecutors, who forwarded it to the defense, and also gave the full video to the prosecutors on a flash drive.
I believe the opposite: with more responsibilities life is more meaningful and therefore less prone to suicidal ideation.

Not saying that having children is the cure for severe depression, though - just saying that if you had thought about suicide in the past but are OK today, you shouldn't discard having kids because of that past, kids may even help keeping those things at bay.
Yeah, kinda weird to make human muppets. The human-like muppets were good.

It's all about that fake outrage and fake pandering.

To be 100% safe, it would add latency to part of the reads. Though not much compared to the normal speed of a memory access.

To be 99% safe you could send a signal a couple nanoseconds late that says "wait, this data is bad, you should abort".

It also might make writes a bit more awkward.
While also true, the reason they changed the wording is for regulatory purposes, and is not at all the limitation of the token or the project.

This is standard word games in crypto projects that are acknowledging their US components. Keeps the SEC off their backs.

It is not possible for projects to compete with asian crypto token offerings that say speculation inducing things. But if you understand already you can see through it and speculate wildly for great reward.
I'm telling you that I _hope_ I would find a way to go on and that I truly hope you would, too. Yes, your life is now empty. But people have their lives ripped apart, all, the fucking, time. Some of them go on living rich and fruitful lives. I would like to think I could strive to become such a person.

The pain a suicidal person feels is like nothing else. I hope that after years of mourning I would pick myself up and feel that pain to its fullest and become an expert pain feeler, because those were the cards that were dealt to me. And I hope that I would find some meaning, again.

However, if I find that I have lung cancer and will inevitably drown in my own mucus, I'm pretty sure about the bullet through my head.

Yay, rainbows!

Heavy shit, this.
I believe I read somewhere that mail is trickier. Being that the spam mail essentially subsidizes USPS.
I made the decision to require user accounts to streamline the experience around saving flows (they're automatically synced to your account so you can share them between devices).

As a solo developer, I don't have the resources to support two versions of the product (one for users with accounts, one for users without) because it'd require maintaining multiple ways to save, load, and share flows.

Thanks!
So now could a similar analysis be done for HCQ?

Granted, presumably patients coinfected with malaria would be far less numerous and far more obvious than those with parasites. But any other comorbidities that HCQ might affect?
Cop out answer: It depends.

I've never cared about certs when hiring and have never really had it come up or be a big deal when interviewing - it's only ever gotten the attention of recruiters or old school companies that I never really had an interest in to begin with. The real purpose of the certs is for consultancies to say "we have x number of AWS certified engineers available for your task" and then depending on the number of certs associated with that entity, AWS will send them more/bigger leads.

I'd take the time you would spend cramming for the cert and study pretty much anything else that interested you and take the money and buy yourself a nice bottle of wine or a fancy dinner.
It's a level, matter-of-fact piece with no spinning or twisting.
> Apple doesn't follow it.

They did follow it. The initial agreement was about chargers, not cables, and you can charge any iPhone off any usb charger. Now, we can discuss the spirit versus the letter, but they signed the agreement and followed it.
brb reading man pages. again. in three different terminals.

ffmpeg is a great tool, and time is well spent getting to know how to use it. but it takes a lot of time/effort to get there.
NNTP also supplies a straightforward Gossip protocol for eventually-consistent distributed pub/sub, and we were using it as far back as the '90s for the control & monitoring of distributed (and regularly disconnected/isolated) international services, and then subsequently for content distribution.

The point being, it should not be surprising to anyone that long-established protocol standards are capable and versatile, often fit for many purposes.

However, any suggestion that someone may have devised an archival mechanism that involved posting encrypted chunks to Usenet binary groups will be hotly denied.
Interesting that "buying majority control" of an organization in crypto-land is now called "doing a 51% attack".
> I really don’t think it’s grossly uncharitable at all.

I agree and will state that whenever a thread like this is on HN you have to walk on eggshells. The minute mental illness or any sensitive topic (hardship, health, whatever is presented) all the compassion comes out from possibly the same people who would otherwise jump all over someone's point of view about a non compassion topic. It's kind of the HN version of 'we won't be angry at you on your birthday day after back to being a dick'.

I also love the predictable 'get help' ok great thanks I am sure the person writing doesn't know hasn't thought of or hasn't tried that already.
>I'm pretty excited about this, to say the least.

Wait until you see the price of parts. I am betting iPhone battery will be $30 to $50. i.e You save ~$20 compared to doing it at Apple Store.

Generally speaking Apple charge their repair parts at cost + their normal margin. Not saying this is bad, but people may have different perspective once they see it.
> But these things only hold personal spiritual/ redemptive value if done voluntarily.

If you voluntarily elect a government that will make it into law or work toward its establishment, your redemption is assured, because you did it voluntarily.

In this case, the end being the eradication of poverty and all its ills, wouldn't be a noble goal we could all work towards?

And, even if it never becomes codified as law, if it just become a universal social norm, to not work for the accumulation of resources and power, but instead to work for your own and other's betterment, wouldn't that goal be fulfilled?
I'm not sure if this is what your parent meant, but I think it can require more or fewer frames, with more or less spacing depending on the camera, and on the dynamic range of the scene. Currently (at least with Fujifilm) you have to manually program all this in.
Well, yeah, both can be used for mostly the same things (probably ffmpeg has more features in total though), but ffmpeg doesn't have a GUI, which HandBrake does.
It's also written by a sex predator, so there's that.
Yes, but Handbrake provides a GUI. Ffmpeg is fantastic, and I believe supports a wider range of formats than Handbrake, so it's the power user's tool of choice. But Handbrake is way more accessible for the average user, and is very high quality in its own way.

Sounds like the banks are just dumb at the surface level. If they take a collateraled loan and pay you get a paid loan. If they take it and fail to pay you either get paid by the proceeds of the sale or real estate for peanuts compared to the cost basis to hold and sell for a way better rate later.
I remember using a version that had ads embedded in the app in my teenage years, and so avoided it for years afterwards, but then I had reason to use it 3-4 years ago and there are none. I don't know if this was something in an official build at one stage, or if I ran into one of the cases of someone rebuilding an open source app with ads in that happened in the mid 2000s (the paint.net author dubbed this "backspaceware" when he cited it as a reason he would no longer release source code).
Scared of being left out of a trend.
I did the same! Except for my now spouse's iPod Video. And it was for a train, not a bus. But wow has Handbrake delivered for me. A great piece of software.
Meh I’m actually all for rich people persuading their employees to sleep with them. Anything else is basically ugly discrimination.
Evidence, or don't accuse. What are you talking about?
This is exactly the type of irrational, emotional reaction the active is designed to elicit. The article is advocating for a public policy position, it relates to the topic of suicide, and it describes the hardships of the author. The merit of the position is irrelevant to the fact that this article has been so effective in evoking an emotive response from you, that simply a rational description of its content has managed to offend you.
My Dad did this all the time when he wasn't so busy with work.
Great points. One thing that might help out with correctness is typed forths. But I haven't played with any of them. And I'm not sure if that solves the readability issue when sometimes you have stack manipulations happen very far ahead or behind relevant code.
I don't know... Has it been viable until now? /S
Yep. I got some help from parents, but it was basically stuff like using things that might be too dangerous for a little kid (power tools), or under close supervision, and asking questions about my plan.

I think the big part is to be a mentor. Just asking questions like 'did you think about x', or 'how do you plan to handle y' can have a huge impact by making them think further into the plan without just handing them answers. In my opinion, having them think about the possible outcomes and then search out additional information is really what school is supposed to be about.

Knowledge and understanding of the world is constantly growing. There are endless examples of how scientists and other intellectuals have a current paradigm of how something must work, only to be disproven in the future (usually by someone who gets castigated until held up years later). So to say 'believe in science' is actually dogma. It makes me cringe when I see it as a political banner, or along side signs like 'in this house we believe in....' It would be more accurate to say 'the scientific method works', but it really only works in the long run. At any point in time our understanding is incomplete and erroneous.

The facts are out there, whether you believe it or not, and eventually the scientific method will catch up.

Of course if you're not a trained scientist, then it's hard to appreciate how the scientific method works, and that even when we're very sure of something, true scientists will always hedge their statements. This will be misinterpreted by those who are outside this world as there being more gray than actually exists, and those with an agenda will drive a truck right through it.
Thanks! Alright. I haven't looked much into RSS/Atom yet, but I'll try to add it by next week. That should ease my feeling for a need of a schedule. I was just wondering if there were RSS/Atom users that would use it.

Speaking of gallows humor, via the Brothers Grimm. . .

How about just googling it, this stuff isn't hard to find?
But you’re arguing that such a guarantee ALWAYS is most relevant. When that’s not always the case.

There’s been extensive research justification behind the vector-space model. BM25 is the 25th iteration of a model and well tuned BM25 holds the highest non nueral performance on many tasks including question answering[1]. Research has long found including factors other than total term matches matters. Such as IDF[2] and field length[3].

Have you benchmarked your relevance assumptions similarly? If so I’d love to see them and learn more!

Yes. It's well known that someone with, say, Down's syndrome may need a full time handler and is extremely unlikely to be a productive member of society (they'd need to be twice as productive, to make up for their handler).

Many couples when informed of Down's risk choose to abort.
Well written and sadly confirmatory of the disaster that I've observed at S. A. I subscribed for years as a youth and young adult, but eventually let my subscription lapse as more and more space was diverted from science to dull treatments of politics.
I'm not sure you are replying to. I have vegan and vegetarian friends and family; I certainly don't judge vegans according to its worst members.

I find the "worst" of vegans annoying and pedalling dangerous myths. Eating vegan while staying healthy is hard work and real health problems can occur if you don't put in that work.
> defense's email client might have compressed the video automatically (not how it works)

I'm not familiar with all email clients, I mostly use Thunderbird, but almost all messaging clients, social media and similar service do compression when you upload media to them today. It's not super far off that an email client would do the same.
Can something really be called a Turing machine if it's not able to halt (or continue going) by itself?

In this case it appears that the author considers halting to be decided externally to the program, which is not the mechanism Turing machines use.

Yes, and under the hood Handbrake is using the FFmpeg libraries. Handbrake's value is providing simple presets that "just work" for converting video for various uses. Want to convert video for playback on an iPhone? Handbrake has you covered.

> So some anonymous group is raising money to buy the constitution and in exchange you get voting rights? Which they totally pinky-promise will adhere to. Oh, and it's crypto, so it's a token.

I'm not sure what structure they are using, but in theory they could setup an LLC that was required to adhere to what the token votes on (within some predefined bounds). Projects like RealT have property ownership / dividends based on token ownership, so there's no reason something similar / legally binding couldn't be done for this.

So you think it'd have the same chances of success if it didn't involve crypto? Of course not! Yes the point is it's crypto, it's experimenting with new ways of doing things, and that's what people want to be a part of.
I'm sorry, why is helm so bad exactly?
handbrake should just be a front end to ffmpeg. it used to be practically impossible to figure out which profiles would work for older android / iphone devices. thankfully now they both accept a lot more codecs and profiles.
15 trillion bid requests isn't the best metric to use.

The SSP I used to work for had 150ish DSPs attached, of course not all of them received bid requests for a given incoming impression, no point sending a banner bid req to someone only interested in video.

But yeah, bid requests are more of a function of auction participants rather than unique impressions.

And we all know how ad infested websites can be these days, if you have say 10 ad spaces on a page, and 100 DSPs want to bid, you're looking at up to 1000 bid requests generated from a single page view.

(OpenRTB has support for sending multiple impressions in a request, but when I was there, very few of our DSPs had implemented it).
> And that's fine. Societies can only function if the yield from the people it invested in is higher than the investment. This is why socialized healthcare is tricky. If you invest too much, you might be wasting resources and endangering all of your society. If you invest too little, you might be leaving people who would otherwise be productive once the investment is made.

This is quite evidently not how most socialized healthcare systems work. Thankfully so, because you paint a nightmarish picture of people being left to die or suffer if there is no hope of them recouping an investment in their health. In fact, taken to the logical conclusion it would mean killing retirees instead of paying them pensions (imagine what society could spend all that money on, right?).
Used to use Handbrake back in HighSchool. Blast from the past.
Not only gaming hardware and software, but all sorts of computing artifacts.

I moved to Ireland five years ago and I find it's impossibly hard to find and preserve a lot of interesting European computers because people took recycling so very seriously. It's sad, really.

There's also studies that show the more times you are committed the more likely you are to commit suicide, i.e., that psychiatric hospitals cause suicidal ideation.
You are projecting.
I have to believe, based not only on this case but on extensive reporting from folks like Radley Balko, that manipulation or outright omission of exculpatory evidence is much more common than is generally believed.

Even here, in this incredible high-profile case, they apparently felt confident enough to give it a try.

Imagine now how easy it must be for them to do it to poor, mostly Black defendants who are relying on a public defender, when they don't have a (for better or worse) rabid political wing watching their every move, and when there are no screenshots of their laptop circulating the internet.

This is a concentrated drop of shame in the already shameful lake of fake justice.
Tone mapping is very much a subjective process. There's no one "HDR" algorithm. At best the camera could convert everything to linear or logarithmic light and save in OpenEXR or something like that.
They call it “governance” but describe it giving the ability to advise, but not the ability to govern.
Too far into the academic weeds for me to have any real opinion on it, sorry!
Probably, if you're doing complex calculations with Forth that have many operands, you should favor left-reductions: reducing the stack should be as eager as possible. Don't pile all the operands into the stack all at once followed by a soup of words to decimate them. The code generation algorithm should be: whenever you write down an operand to be pushed into the stack, then if a reduction is thereby made possible, you should add the word to achieve that reduction.
If you answer yes they are liable to send someone to kidnap you, so people are trained to not answer yes.

Nothing has changed here. I get Blurays in mail from Netflix, rip them via MakeMKV, re-encode with Handbrake and put them on Synology NAS for later convenient viewing via Vero4k. Disk space is cheap, skipping stupid menus and previews is priceless!
For context, today in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, the prosecution (ADA Kraus) claimed that he was basically technically illiterate and basically didn't know about transcoding, not in as many words. A review of previous video testimony from PBS's live feed showed that he (Kraus) had Handbrake in the directory that he was showing the video from. That's not a normal application one would just have floating around.

The backdrop is the defense alleges the prosecution gave the defense a lower resolution copy of the original video that showed about 4x fewer pixels, so they did not have the ability to examine it. The jury has already seen the video and is currently in deliberations. They have asked to view the video again.

This whole trial, well, just seems riddled with big time issues. I tried to present this in a non biased way, but I don't think this is a good trial no matter what side you sit on, if any. It's been tainted in several places, even 5th amendment violations numerous times. At a minimum, I think it needs to be tossed out and retried with these evidentiary issues ironed out and with no last minute springing of evidence.
Again, stop saying "proof". You're misusing this word. It really seems like you have an ideological axe to grind. There is not "zero proof". Did you read the article? What you are saying and your level of confidence seem detached from the article's contents.

There is tentative evidence of a small to medium effect, but the quality of that evidence is low and that quality is insufficient to recommend use. This then deserves more attention and resources to figure out if it's real and why there's an effect. That's how science works.

Contrary to your claims here, scientists aren't studying it because some cranks on the internet propped it up. They're studying it because some field doctors had positive anecdotal experiences and some early studies showed promise.

As you've said, the medical establishment really wants to end the pandemic. Which is why they're looking into this drug, among many others.
