Hah! As soon as you posted this, my first thought was, "I bet they're getting overcharged by some shitty LMS". A lot of those companies resell video hosting for an insane markup. Glad you're trying to find them a better deal.

If you need to be able to charge PPV or per month or whatever, Vimeo also offers a billable solution: https://vimeo.com/ott/pricing (OTT is apparently "over-the-top", as in PPV that bypasses cable/satellite/etc... according to wikipedia. Must be a cable-era term.) There are a bunch of other providers in this space... here is one list by a company: https://www.dacast.com/blog/how-does-white-label-video-strea...

Or you might be able to API-integrate Cloudflare Stream (or a similarly low-level CDN offering) with the LMS system directly, if they offer such interconnects.

My guess is that ease of use would probably get you a better ROI than strong piracy protections in this case and it's probably not worth it to go for DRM or rental models? IMHO only.
I suppose you could still talk about causes in a deterministic time-reversible system, but it doesn’t match the normal sense of the word “cause” given that future states determine past states just as much as past states determine future states.
>I don't think the commenter you replied to was particularly set on the specific example of a 55 mph speed limit?

I was making a more general point too, and I'm sorry if you took my comment too literally.

In Germany it would be another Tuesday, because it would be legal. Driving fast according to the law doesn't represent the same thing, which is connected to that cultural difference I was observing.
Fear based on feeling, not on facts. That's it.

By any objective metric, nuclear is by far the best choice for stable base power generation.

"But what if it explodes" - and there goes all rationality.

Humans will take constant death from coal power plants rather than a minuscule chance of a larger catastrophe in a nuclear plant.
If we leave energy decisions to an under-regulated "free market", we guarantee that market forces will select for the most short-termist, externality-spewing choices possible.

What do power execs care if they leave behind ruins decades down the road? They will have already made their money and enjoyed it.
* Plants are very expensive to build. Due to massive upfront costs, it cannot beat wind/solar today unless you use very unusual financial models. (ie. assume interest rates are zero for 50 years). If nuclear plants were built more frequently, cost would come down a lot - it turns out making everything bespoke is hugely expensive.

* Lots of public opposition due to the public being scared of nuclear waste, nuclear accidents, etc. The public far prefers taking on invisible risk (like the lung cancer risk from coal/oil/gas emissions) than the huge event risk of a nuclear meltdown, even if the overall harm to human lives is higher.
Can you share your methods for finding out what caused your fatigue and optionally what you found out for yourself?

When they're only combatants because we showed up at their house with guns, I'm not sure the difference is what you seem to be implying.
That’s fantastic introspection, but to give another anecdotal piece of data: I spent 6 months stressing about how to keep iterating communication and fit with an underperformer, and he never managed to contribute (I was the second of four managers he worked with over 3 years).
Whataboutism is simply an excuse for maintaining the status quo. Since there is not, nor will there ever be, a perfect country everyone should bite their tongue, and tacitly support the worst behaviors.

It’s a trash take, put out by people that would rather center on their own preconceptions rather than actually minimizing harms in the world.
Is deranking considered censorship? On what basis does RT need to be the top result?

Now of course I know its been purposely deranked. But couldn’t google claim its not censored if it exists but buried in results?

I want to know what legal basis we have for asserting certain sites must have the highest rank on google for certain searches. I’m assuming there isn’t one.
> in some situations it’s better to have a human that put a blue-checkmark that can fail 1/10 than having 5/10 fake accounts

Speaking strictly from a utilitarian perspective, I'm not so sure if a handful of blue checkmarks getting it wrong some small percentage of the time (and I'd argue that it's not quite that small) is less bad for the world than lots of random people getting it very wrong a far greater percentage of the time.

The reason for that is power and influence, a journalist has a lot of it and a random person has close to none.

A random Joe Schmoe who invents some conspiracy theory about the Amish's secret moon lasers controlling global weather patterns after an evening with Quaaludes and Tequila does not have any influence.

But a bad journalist can panic the world into accepting bad ideas that are actually taken seriously.

To me, the correct approach for finding as close to accurate information as possible is to not put professional journalists or anybody on a pedestal and distrust all information until proven and verified from multiple competing sources.
I'm always open the consideration of any reasonable idea, but you need evidence. I can provide plenty to the contrary. For instance in the 1970s the media, spearheaded by the NYTimes no less, published the Pentagon Papers which (predictably) put the paper in direct confrontation with the government and the endlessly influential military industrial complex in particular.

And that led to a high stakes confrontation with the paper itself facing government pressure and lawsuits that went all the way to the Supreme Court with what would have been devastating consequences had they lost. Of course by 2013 when the Snowden leaks hit this had all changed. The NYTimes had already long since turned into the sort of agency that chose to more regularly run with headlines like "British Intelligence Chiefs Say Leaks by Snowden Hurt Security", "Leaker's Flight Raises Tension", and such other tripe - frequently engaging in a mixture of ignoring, misrepresenting, or defending what Snowden had revealed.

But the in the heyday of media, I do not see any reason to believe that people's judgement of the media was flawed. I'm certainly interested to see why you think so though!
Sometimes I wonder how much we just repeat what our parents did instead of trying to find a better way, just because that's what we already know...
Yeah, I know a number of people in NH who were working more and more remotely for a company with a MA location even prior to the pandemic, who switched their status to be officially fully remote. Live in MA/work in NH (no income tax) or live in NH/work in MA? Doesn't matter; you pay full income tax to MA.
That depends on a flag in the update response.

But ofc that’s just one remote attack avenue.
> I am curious if you have an opinion on Daniel Pronks channel?

In the coming months I'll have an opinion about him. I haven't watched enough of his videos. It's tough to distinguish "stay away from" versus "good", since both categories seem to be well intentioned.
> the ISS has generally managed to stay out of Earth-bound politics — but the Ukraine conflict could change that

I guess it depends on what “generally” means, but the Ukrainian conflict already changed that in 2014 AFAIK: https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ukraine-crisis/crimea-catc...
The guys never reached out after the fact, so I haven't spoken to them, which is part of why it makes me sad to think about. I don't lack for friends and other positive things, it's just sad because I really liked these guys.
> class of 1400

Is it a normal thing in the west?

The largest class I’ve been part of in India had 105 students and I thought that was nuts. 1400 is like crazy to me.
Exactly, almost all the time you would be better to save the attachment to an object store. However I think I found that small edge case where the attachment system was perfect. It was essential to save the binary Yjs doc with the couch document, it needed to be synced to clients with the main document. Saving it to an object store is not viable due to the overhead during syncing.
It’s actually been built by SIEMENS/Areva which is ironic because Germany is on the brink on shutting down all of its nuclear power plants.
Ok that I do understand. Still a bit confused. I thought it was common knowledge that you are living in blood thirsty country thats killing people without remorse :)
Dutch banks:

Q: Well, at least I can still withdraw and deposit money there, right?

A: Actually, if you want to deposit coinage, we've outsourced that to home improvement stores instead.
> 1. Classes are not better if everyone is talking and asking questions. Often, this actually causes class to move more slowly and cover less ground and questions would be better after class one on one.

Covering more material isn’t necessarily a good thing if students are not really understanding the material that’s already been presented. I personally and benefitted greatly from others asking questions. Sometimes the questions asked were not even things I considered. In my college classes that were purely lecture based where the prof didn’t allow interruptions, I certainly got more value out of studying with others because of the questions.
I thought that was the Intel ME thing. I've actually never used netboot.
I have never cussed reading views on HN. That is a more Reddit phenomena & this parent comment belongs there.

Makes me wonder how insensitive one has to be to make a terribly casual dismissal of the current calamity & dangers to thousands of Ukrainians. Some people have a reserved section in hell for belittling or condescending human suffering.
First of all, we’re currently closing nuclear plants that would could otherwise have a lot of life left, so this isn’t merely about whether to build new plants. But putting that aside for a moment:

> The problem is that nuclear is competing against renewables, not fossil fuels. So, new nuclear needs an argument for why it's better than renewables, not why it's better than something that's on its way out anyway.

Is it, though?

From where I’m standing—wind and solar just can’t seem to produce enough energy. I mean, look at the top link. Solar doesn’t even get its own category. So we fall back on fossil fuels.

Nuclear seems to be the only non-carbon source of power we have today that is actually capable of generating electricity in the amounts our society needs. Build a few more nuclear plants, and boom, New York’s electricity could be CO2 free, in a few years!
Isn't that always the case? You are just treated worse when you have less money.

How's one perceived if high earner hires professional help to take advantage of every loop hole in the system and how's one perceived if they take advantage of a loop hole in the system with say food stamps. Neither is breaking the law.
In a pure market system, sure. I’m about as free market as they come, but the intention here is not just to maximize GDP. A functioning transit system with known costs makes a city more livable. That’s a sustainability issue for the city as a whole.
A movie is a real world construct, an application of sociological principles.
Yes, and it's also too small.

There have been at least two "crypto island" schemes.[1][2] Those are, at least, on bigger islands. Cryptoland didn't make the payment to acquire their island.[2] Not that you'd know this from their web site. Crypto Island is really a time-sharing condo scheme.

Both islands are too small for the number of people they want to cram on them. And the plans show no infrastructure. No water, power, sewerage, docks, maintenance facilities, or warehouses. For comparison, see Great Stirrup Cay, which is owned by Norwegian Cruise Lines and is a tourist stopover. It's 268 acres, and about half luxury hotel and half support facilities.[4] Something that size could be a viable mini-state.

I'm somewhat late to the game, but first of all, congrats not just for being bild and trying to shake up the state of fin-ed apps, but also for the excellent job of communicating that you are doing here.

I have lightly researched David Pronk you provides you with the actual financial content, and he himself claims on his website he is not a financial advisor.
While I don't mean to discredit him in any way and don't want to imply his advice is bad (it seams reasonable enough for someone like me who doesn't know too much about finance), I am still wondering why you didn't also hire a professional to audit what Daniel has written?
There are various certificates within the finance industry and it would increase my trust in our offering if I knew that a professional with at least some experience and/or certificats has vetted it.
Imagine maintaining it after 5 years and a few different developers coming and going working on it.
Also, the weather is 63 degrees Fahrenheit today
In any comparison of two countries (or people) like this, there are two conflicting issues to keep in mind at the same time: 1) As you point out, no one is perfect, and any honest look at ourselves or the groups we're a part of will show us things we feel ashamed of. 2) Because of that, "whataboutism" is a very effective derailing tactic that anyone can use to dismiss almost any criticism.

Given that "no one should ever criticize anyone for anything" isn't what any of us wants, we need some norms and limits around whataboutism to keep it productive. I'm not sure what those should be though, and at the end of the day probably some amount of trust and good faith is required.
I think, there are many people who work remote in their home country and then travel across the world, and in many countries that can be illegal if you stay too long.
There is no end user that cares about some bug fix for a 50 year old shell.
Slightly unrelated, we noticed this happening _before_ we renamed the app in the App Store from Arrive to Shop, but after the rename happened in, I think, March of 2020, negative reviews about the missing Amazon data started flooding in. People associated the name/design change with the degraded experience, when really the experience had already been degraded for a couple months by that point. The initial rebrand only changed mostly superficial things, like colours and the name!
Now polenta is made with maize, because it is more tasteful.

However in the ancient Rome the meaning of the words was different.

"Polenta" was barley porridge and "puls" was emmer porridge. Both were eaten by those who could not afford bread.

"Polenta" was made from "alica", which was a kind of semolina made from barley.
So yes, a particularly large document is not the norm but it can happen.

JavaScript CRDTs can be quite performant, see the Yjs benchmarks: https://github.com/dmonad/crdt-benchmarks
The difference is that nuclear is the only one where the first one’s cost is measured in the the tens of billions.

Nuclear is just too big for a privatized energy market’s participants.
> The only thing I really needed to hire was a CDN.

Unless somebody was bookmarking your video directly (does that really happen, as opposed to a HTML page / app), this IS what the video hosts offer, just at a higher level. Vimeo isn't a social video platform the way YouTube is, it's just a video host for the most part, including whitelabeling options. What is the vendor lock-in concern?

At the last educational place I worked for, we hosted our videos on YouTube, Vimeo, our own host, and a few other places. Nobody ever knew or asked which was which, except the YT and Vimeo videos were smoother experiences. They were all whitelabeled or else unlabeled.

I'd argue that for most content producers and users, YouTube (for the social network and the wide compatibility across devices) and Vimeo (for the ridiculously cheap pricing and ease of use) are the best choices AS CDNs. Both offer superior developer/producer experiences than a self-hosted stack too.

> had a high degree of control over my platform and could even develop some on-premises customizations that would be simply impossible had I relied on third-party, internet-only solutions.

But I'd love to hear about these cases. What justifies that complexity for you?
Yet here we are with no usable alternatives because competitors get crushed
>And due process.

Whew ... there's dozens of convicts on the death row that are presumably innocent. Even if some of them get acquitted at some point, having spent 20 years of your life behind bars not knowing whether the state is going to murder you for something you didn't do is not that far from barbaric.

So ... like another guy said, you're just accustomed to the set of rules of the environment where you belong, in the same way as a Saudi could think of executions as a regular thing (bc, well... they are).
I’m hoping all these comments on HN I see that follow the pattern "I was wrong about something important, but rather than admit that, I'm going to believe that the truth is unknowable" are just the first step on someone's journey to accept an unpleasant shock to their ego.

It's depressing to think there's a growing army of geeks who have given up on science, rationality and objective reality just because they got sucked in by some propaganda and tied their identity a bit too firmly to it to ever escape.
Yeah that's why you can have a catch-all rule like "TA is conferred final discretion on evaluations"

Though as I said, some things are good to have in writing, if it's an exception that happens with some frequency or some corner case that's not as rare as thought
If Russia’s willing to drop cluster munitions on Ukrainian cities, I don’t see why they wouldn’t send a tactical nuke to a air base or industrial area. The relations between Russians and Ukrainians seem well and truly fucked at this point as it is.

We can hope that a mutiny will happen but it’s by no means guaranteed.
I read a report on that a while back, can't find it now but these are the highlights I remember:

* The overall design must be done before construction starts, also no room for regulatory changes. Waterfall is better than Agile for nuclear.

* Experienced project management, work force and supply chain.

* Build many reactors on the same site and don't use a new reactor design.

* Work force is overall cheaper and possibly also more productive in Asia.

More or less the same as for everything else, the more you do it the better and cheaper it gets but it requires a lot of upfront costs.
In Hong Kong it's common for bars to always have extra leftover umbrellas that were left behind. As a regular they'd always just give me one if I got caught out in the rain. I've also left umbrellas out countless times. It's all an inadvertent pay it forward scheme
I just want to point out there are several aspects to punishment. We often speak of rehabilitation and deterrence, but there is also denunciation, incapacitation, and retribution (the most maligned of the five.)

Execution isn't very good at deterrence and obviously is antithetical to rehabilitation. However execution happens to be exceptionally effective at incapacitation; a criminal cannot re-offend if he's dead. And of course, much of the public support for execution is also motivated by retribution.

On the topic of retribution, I want to be clear that I don't support the death penalty, but nevertheless I think a bit of retribution in the justice system plays a roll in suppressing vigilantism. If the government doesn't pay at least a little lip service to retribution, I think you'll have more people taking matters into their own hands.
It sounds like these cars will be a prime target for hacking into and rooting the same way that a smartphone is rooted. Otherwise, why not lease a thing like this which is so expensive so locked?

Is it the same in Europe? Feels very American thing to me, I recently learnt that many shops don't show prices of products, like grocery, and gas stations also hide price when inconvenient. It's beyond my imagination to go to Lidl to buy a cake and learn at checkout how much it costs
I don’t pay very much attention to prosecution of cases under the CFAA, but at a surface level this reminded me of the weev / AT&T case [1], where he was convicted for (afaik) incrementing an id and fetching all the records. I didn’t remember the outcome, but it looks like it was overturned later without taking a solid stance on the technique [2]

I’d definitely believe other cases have happened in the last 8 years that have done a better job of clarifying the law, but I’m not aware of them.

Ah, I see you've met YandereDev.
My "senior seminar" for my undergraduate degree had the most ingenious grading system I've ever encountered, called the "cookie system". While working on your paper throughout the semester you had to meet certain milestones. Each milestone was due at 6pm and there were the following grading rules:

- if you reach the milestone before 6pm you gain one "cookie"
- if you reach it after 6pm but before midnight, no cookie
- you lose 1 cookie for each day it's late, starting at midnight the day after it was due
- if you at any point during the semester reach a negative amount of cookies, you instantly fail the class
- the final paper is graded pass/fail

This has the advantage that it keeps students on track, but the final grade is just a result of their actual knowledge and the final paper. The first few milestones were trivial to meet so you get a little buffer if you're late for some reason. In my year not a single person failed due to lack of cookies either
I'm an ML engineer but I know nothing about the inference part. Are there that many kind of devices that optimizing for inference on a device is a thing? I thought almost everyone serves from GPUs/TPUs and hence there are only 2 major device types. What am I missing here?

You left out proliferation of dual-use technologies. The fewer countries with advanced nuclear capabilities, the more thinly spread the expertise necessary to build nuclear weapons.

If Russia didn't have nukes, its imperialistic ambitious would be curtailed. The ability to shield conventional assaults behind a nuclear threat is destabilizing for the rules-based world order.
> It also publicly nailed the severed body and head of a convicted extremist to a pole as a warning to others. Such crucifixions after execution, while rare, do occur in the kingdom.

Friendly reminder that the primary distinction between groups in that region is whether you have a nation state already, or merely aspire to have one.

We demonize the people that merely aspire to have one, and their practices like the beheadings. It is useful to acknowledge that they are the same practices of the ones that achieve sovereign immunity. It usually comes down to the underlining belief system, as they overlap with a nearby sovereign party. Western media isn't that discerning, but it could be.
