I don't know about the preview issues, but I have also had some bizarre issues during encoding. Specifically h264 using the mp4 container will crash encoding almost 100% of the time. This started a couple of major versions ago, and continues to today. When encoding h264 in a mov container, no crashes, any other codec, no crashes. I would say simply try a different container and then use ffmpeg to copy / transcode into a format you want to deliver.
The Book You Need to Read
I like Project Gutenberg, but I like Library Genesis or other shadow libraries even more.
When you mentioned telegram, i was going to suggest trying out the matrix protocol. The protocol itself is not only designed for chat, that is merely only one admittedly popular use-case. And in conjunction with matrix, i was going to further suggest try to leverage a different transport layer that has lowerr latency instead of current http...which i know matrix org was testing out some time ago...But, then...you said you wanted a SaaS...which i'm not aware of any that exist for your use case. So, maybe try a Saas for Mqtt, etc.
Yes and no. Some of it seems genuine, but then you had the pocket debacle, as well as offering Google as the default search engine.

They're all for privacy (which is a selling point) until there's money on the line.

Much like Apple.
This “cheating” has been going on in GC’d languages for decades. Java, JavaScript, and probably other language implementations have what they call “escape analysis”.
The law is supposed to be the sacred foundation upon which a nation is built. Perhaps this view of law has been forgotten, which further emphasises my point about corruption.

Breaking the law, in a serious way--I'm not talking about jaywalking--shows contempt for the foundational order of a nation.

When I was younger, boy scout and all, I truly believed breaking the law was the worst thing one could possibly do. I was told how important the law is and that it deserves our utmost respect. From this mindset, breaking the law and becoming a criminal is percieved as a monstrous act-- inexusable. That's how I saw things when I believed in America.

Things have certainly changed, as your comment demonstrates. People now think it's more important to make money than abide by the law. The law is just seen as a referee, something to get around, not a noble set of rules that are laid down to govern our conduct for the good of us all.
I think this is such a clever use of capitalism for positive purpose. I’ve worked with Eco-Soap Bank (https://ecosoapbank.org/) mentioned in the article. So great.
Could you say more about this?

What historical events are you referring to?

I consider myself a disaffected male, and am curious to understand my situation from a historical perspective.
By my reading, he is saying that it isn't about socioeconomic status, but the race of the person that is causing things. Aka, simple racism.
Discoverability really is the main “problem” with Project Gutenberg.
By your standards a flaw that will never be patched is perfectly acceptable.

Even if it's a software flaw that can easily be patched, but the vendor prefers to force you to buy another device and toss the first into a landfill.
My sense of the distinction: luck is rare. Not everyone can be lucky, by definition. Fortune doesn't have the property. For example, one could say that everyone who grows up in a liberal democracy is fortunate.

Something which requires luck to achieve is by definition unachievable by most. Something which requires good fortune could, in a better world, be had by all.
Miniflux. I pay for the hosted version.
A stable job just doesn't compete anymore. Single heterosexual girls want guys with prospects and/or family money. Some of these guys are afraid of dating, afraid that something might go wrong that could impact their careers. Deployments have also changed. Soldiers don't date or even talk to local girls anymore. Interestingly, many of these guys are also stone-sober. Not recovering alcoholics. They just don't drink. They don't ever hook up at bars. That bar scene you see in every military movie never happens. They always seem to be on guard for situations that might hurt their career. COVID-related lockdowns haven't helped either.
I hear what you're saying, but words matter. I can never support a slogan I explicitly disagree with.

There's plenty of better slogans out there. I'd support "end police violence" or "stop killer cops" or something.

Thats certainly much more catchy than the full slogan right now, which seems to be "Defund the police, but we don't really want to do that, even though some people in our movement actually do want that, but they're a minority - we swear. But we want political power anyway and it'll be fine - you can trust us".

You can tell its a bad slogan because of how much oxygen gets spent explaining it. (Eg, right here)
This analogue loophole really makes me realize that if you need to stop a screenshot/screen recording for security/whatever, you've got a design problem. And this is specifically applicable to services like Netflix.
Being expert in male/female statistics, the EU is generally only 4% far from USA gender statistics, and closing in on a 10-year delay. The only difference between USA and EU is that it is exaggerated in the media, while the trends which happen in EU have already been experienced in USA so people have already had time to get used to it, therefore news are less sensationalist.

In other words, your impression that EU culture, statistics or law are different from USA is not verifiable in measurements. I agree however, that we think we are immune to USA problems when we live in EU.
Schools in poor areas have higher funding than schools in rich areas, the property tax funding is only one part of where schools get their money from. See this report for example: https://nces.ed.gov/pubs95/web/95300.asp (it's a bit old but nothing substantive has changed).
True, in the sense that being healthy is also less stable than being dead.

Wrong, in any meaningful way, and obviously so: the linked index rates democracy on multiple dimensions, including protection of civil liberties, electoral process and pluralism, functioning of government, political participation, and political culture. It’s impossible to rate high on all those issues and not be “stable” in any meaningful sense.

FWIW Morocco is also quite stable, among the best both in Africa and the Arab world.
Brexit isn't mentioned anywhere and the physics of it would be the same regardless of the EU existing or not. The reason to go direct to Morocco are that transmission through regular AC grids would lose virtually all the power before it gets anywhere near the UK. 10GW is a hell of a load and you can't just pretend a grid is a bathtub at these scales.

But as you brought it up, even if there was a semi-conductor breakthrough tomorrow the political reasons to go direct would still be there. The EU wants the UK to be subservient to the Commission for ideological, political and economic reasons. The UK doesn't want to be back in that situation. The EU would absolutely make energy transit dependent on all manner of entirely irrelevant topics - fish is the current one but there would be others - and thus making electricity supplies dependent on the EU would end up being equivalent to being sucked back in, not as a member state but as a vassal state.
Maybe a piston pressurized on the "empty" side with gaseous cryogenic hydrogen?
The forces shouldn't be an issue, at least for cylindrical tanks where adding an atmosphere or 5 in internal overpressure capability (relative to outside) is quite cheap once you already have to stay in shape filled or not.
As far as I know, in the US, the custody and house/apartment is almost always given to the parent who /wants/ the children. Men often don't fight for custody. They should.

Also, the division of assets is not out of proportion I think. If I got married and my partner left the workforce to take care of the home/children, I do think they should get their fair share of assets in case of divorce.
It seems like if you are tweeting that much you might not be someone who needs this service.
I remember reading the first chapter and just writing the shortest possible essay i could based on that chapter reading and some janky synopsis I found online. Just couldn’t read that one at 16. I did read Man’s search for meaning (Viktor Frankl) in my late twenties and enjoyed it so maybe I should go back and give night another try now that I feel less depressed.
Military marriages are double hard due to the nature of the job. Couple that with broken marriages being more like the norm, one can't blame if they don't want to risk their mental and financial stability.
While it is an "ad", I don't think it's fair to call it a startup since their work has already become established, and they've been running since 2009, for example they say they produced 68 million bars of soap.
I'm not sure deleting an Instagram account completely removes it from Facebook's servers. I recently deleted an old account, and after it was completely removed, I wanted to create a new one with the same username, but it complained that the username could not be used because it still "exists".
Do they play video games?
I bring my own soap for the shower, as the one provided by hotels often doesn't really clean well, neither smells really good. It does double-duty as soap for the hands, since it's higher quality than whatever most hotels have.
Are you seriously trying to argue there was less domestic violence back then?

Extended family can help, but they can just as well think you deserved it or turn a blind eye.
In fairness, I think it's hard to environmentally fall into "several" cults. If there are several, chances are high that perhaps even a majority were entered into voluntarily. I don't mean this as a dig on the OP.
Trash pickup is too cheap / Recycling too expensive and this is a great case;

The remainder soap creates a valuable commodity at a small cost of the original, but hotels (or their toiletry suppliers) aren't solving this on their own (a potential revenue stream).

How do we connect the dots?

I say this as US jurisdictions are cutting (resident paid) recycling programs because of the high cost of sorting plastic; while the US experiences cardboard shortages, metal shortages (as old vehicles waste yards) - in the midst of climate change pacts.

OR, as few jurisdictions implement composting programs where 40% of landfill waste is likely compostable. (and there is a market for curbside compost companies, where consumers are paying $40/mo though the output is very valuable)
Where did this idea come from that we cannot see what exists outside of ourselves and our experiences?

I can empathise with people who are nothing like me. I can understand silly things that people like me do, and how they must look to people who are not like me.

It is only infant humans that can’t understand that anything exists outside of themselves.

Are we all infants?
I've been without Facebook for a decade now. Given what I know, it sounds like I'm missing out on some good stuff going on in Facebook Groups. I also hear Facebook Marketplace is the new Craigslist but Craigslist has been good enough for me still.
My wife packs our own soaps for shower but we use the hotel soap for hand washing.
The third bullet here is basic economics. When you create demand for a product by subsidizing it, people will create supply.

Practically, these subsidies mean that poorer women who could marry the father of their children will often choose not to because they are getting money from the government that exceeds what the man can bring in. It is a little bit like the effect of a very high minimum wage: it helps a certain group of people, but prices many others out of the market. Each step of the process is a perfectly rational economic decision, and it completely destabilizes the home.

I have witnessed this firsthand with some of my relatives, who unfortunately behaved exactly as the microeconomics predicted. They had children out of wedlock, wanting to get married but also wanting to keep their benefits, and then ended up separating because the man's attempt to work like a dog to provide more than the government burned him out (he actually wanted to get married and do the right thing).

Edit: I also want to add that I'm pretty sure the second point here is not true. Lesbian and gay two-parent households don't seem to have worse outcomes than heterosexual couples.
Previously people who bore kids but didn’t plan on it were peer pressured by society to carry their water and take responsibility and support them to some degree. Divorced parents faced significant pushback.

These days, at least it seems, without this social pressure people feel free to leave more readily before giving raising their family a greater priority. The priority is their convenience and not the new generation. Also people just don’t apply this social pressure on their peers so much, so there is less consideration when seeking divorce or plain abandonment.
I'ved used Resolve, Premier and Final Cut, but I haven't found anything as intuitive as Sony Vegas. I'm just faster with Vegas, it could be because it's the first video editor that I got serious about.
My burial is already paid for, as required by law in my country.
It is the basic package, so nobody has to waste money on me later.
I always have enough food and water at home to make it through 2 weeks. Also a few liters of ethanol to cook a meal in case everything goes offline.

I am mostly prepared for a Zombie acapolypse, because it is more fun. So I have some signaling pyro, high intensity warning clothing and of course an array of blunt weapons to choose from. Most of them are just usual tools for dual use. I have a rope ladder to leave my apartment through any window and a backpack with some essentials on hand.

Those things might be helpful in many other situations.
If I have 6000, and it deletes 3000. Does it show the next 3000?

No idea, just wondering if it's just batches of 3000 would solve that.
> If it had actually been called "Redirect substantive parts of the funding currently going to the police to provide alternate mechanisms to address a variety of situations and crises", would you still find it appropriate to make jabs about the situation of some of those who supported it?

No, because that's a rational and reasonable statement, where "defund the police" grabs attention, but is ultimately divisive and alienating. Like so many popular talking points, it's a complete failure of marketing and communication, and everybody who says it ends up having to redefine or explain it on a constant basis because on the surface it sounds completely irrational.

Maybe it could have been more successful if the name actually reflected the goal. As-is, the supporters either actually believe in abolishing the police (which was also called for), or they are saying something they don't actually mean in a literal sense because it grabs more attention. The detractors in turn are only arguing with what a minority of the supporters actually even want, because we've grown so unconcerned as a society with actually conveying our points and getting people on our side, and more concerned with simply being noticed.
> "> "cold is gods way of telling us we need to burn more protestants"."

This is a reference to the classic british TV series blackadder. Go enlighten yourself
> Most older generations did not choose to have children

Birth control and family planning aren't a new invention.
And it’s a particularly bad short slogan because it says something a) no one really believes and b) something that is particularly unpopular. Defund the police sets back the very things it’s trying to address.

Contrast that to “Black Lives Matter” or “We are the 99%” which are also short slogans that encapsulate the broad and varied beliefs of the respective movements without being off putting to even the people who agree.
Is this a bad thing? The US was founded by immigrants. Immigration, diversity, and the US’ history with these topics (good and bad) is huge part of the national cultural identity.

As a US citizen, I think as long as we can maintain the cornerstones of our national heritage (democratic traditions, constitutional freedoms, etc) it should be fine if things change to reflect the demographics of our population.
My friend’s brand new 1500 dollars flagship samsung gets sweared at constantly for failing to do so.
I especially turn on the tv in foreign countries...gives a vibe for the place.
Facebook at least doesn’t force me to subscribe to a 5$ service in order to upload images from my phone.
It’s so annoying that they can’t just compress images and videos on the client. Right now I’m always sharing videos and photos to telegram first, since their client actually compresses most of the files below 8MB and then continue sharing it to discord once again.

The UX as a free discord user is horrible.
Having tried out a bunch of different clients as well, I unfortunately agree with the conclusion. I did not even limit myself to FOSS (or GUI) ones though. Excluding some of the ones you've already mentioned, I've tried macOS/OSX Mail, Windows' Mail and Calendar, Mailspring, aerc and maybe some more I've forgotten. Most of them lack something relatively basic I couldn't without.

I said "unfortunately" because Thunderbird has stagnated, has a bunch of long-standing bugs and annoyances. Like limiting the number of e-mail addresses one contact can have, the low quality of search, the lack of notification configuration and terrible architecture that causes freezes both foreground and background. It freezes entirely when opening "large" letters, moving or syncing a "large" amount of e-mail, when encrypting a few megabytes, when your (totally unrelated) smartcard is in use and so on and on, can't keep track of it all myself but those tickets have sat open for decades. (No, this is not a suggestion to use a stale bot, that's a cheap disrespectful feel-good way out)

From nice-to-have aspects, it sucks that I can't both S/MIME and GPG sign a single letter. Sometimes it's good to bridge the two systems and it should be technically doable.
Electronics Engineering student here. My Semiconductor Devices Professor said it best (this is paraphrashing):

"What you gotta understand is that in the beggining of Electronics, people were pretty much trying to put two materials together they thought worked and then tried modelling it. It was pretty much trial and error, experimentation..." and then he hits me with the most "holy s*" moment of my academic life: "... much like programming and software engineering is today. You write some code, run it, see if it works. Works, ok, go ahead, make sense of it, explain in the documentation, next task".

I had NEVER thought of software like this, it just hit me like an atomic bomb in the head, I felt like I understood where in the history of software engineering we are right now. Structure is coming, slowly but surely.
Military or a trade would be a better choice.
Electric car cost advantage over petrol grows amid energy market turmoil
Coz it's absurdly expensive to begin with even if it doesnt blow up at a cost of $800 billion like it did in Japan.

Realistically it barely competes as it is with pumped storage, batteries, solar and wind even when taxpayers provide free disaster insurance and lavish subsidies.
Ah, "latte-sipping liberal."

edit: There's something correct here, because if you want to look for people who supported defund, they were probably working in food service, making you coffee.
> the UK government is fantastic at providing useful information in a clear and readable way

Not if you are trying to get a new driving license from DVLA after a medical issue caused suspension of an old one. There is no online mechanism at all, either for the application itself, progress tracking or payment.
It’s weird.

Society has tried to influence me that money, wealth, status, career are beneficial.

I was raised middle class.

But I’ve never quite seen the point in all of it.

All it’s really led to is a lifetime of beating myself up and asking what’s “wrong” with me.

So I’m not sure more expectations and guilt is the answer.

It’s hard to see how that would have done anything more for me.
Pairing in the Tech Interview
Gas turbine power plants are built already that will just need the combustor switched out to be switched from current nat gas fuel to eventually pure H2 in some seasonal storage projects.

Gas turbines themselves have no problem with hydrogen as a fuel, it's just the burners/fuel injectors/flame holders that need appropriate adjustments.
Also, they can fly higher, because hydrogen is more flammable and will burn even in extremely lean mix that happens at very high altitude.
It’s also fun seeing US thinkers explain what life is like in Europe but clearly never lived there and are actually wrong about a lot of it.
Patching an embedded synthesiser OS from 1996 with Ghidra
I'm not that young, but not old enough to have witnessed generational patterns of young men shifting as a cultural phenom.

That being said, what do you feel is the cause of a drain in motivation on the endemic level? For some reason my gut reaction is to think that it's the outsourcing of jobs to other countries, and wages stagnating while prices go up. And then couple that with social media, of the life we're all told we're supposed to live, and now young men have less opportunities, less income with higher prices, and having a false idealization of "the good life" shoved down their throats.

I don't need to insist what I'm thinking is correct, but that's just what I'm kinda seeing in broad strokes. Could be way off. I also don't know if there's a version of this in every generation, or if in fact the current generation is a new/ fringe case that requires very different approaches for how to address it on a macro & interrelated scale.
The Devils Dictionary - always a good start.

It's hard to take this seriously. Crime as a way of life has a history dating back centuries, even millenia.
They largely do?

Divorce rates are much higher among people with lower educational attainment
Probably none. So the problem is really that so many brittle scripts get passed around, instead of either making it selfcontained on containerized.
Yes Compton would be so much better without police! If only we could defund them
Heritable wealth is much bigger in Europe than the US.
No photo, some random DOB, location and obscure employement history for me.

I used to advertise on FB so had to maintain an account purely for this purpose but noticed a few times that 'people you may know' were usually a result of random encounters looking me up. Maybe because only facebook can verify you're not a creep or something?

One time I asked soemone out on a date and she seemed keen until the next day she had changed her mind. Probably pure coincidence that this person I didn't know until 2 days before was suddenly one of my 'people you may know' list.

Sure enough my blank FB profile was the giveaway that I am actually a serial killer. Now I'd rather these people just go down a rabbit hole of looking through 1000 possible matches and finding nothing instead.
This isn't really a 'dumbed down version' and the person I'm replying to specifically asked about the sort of things not covered in this version.
I have no idea, but I think it could be better than a bloated website over a crappy connection. Maybe you should try and tell us how it went?
Created a (free) account on https://rss.envs.net and I read my feeds with third-party Android tt-rss clients. A couple of curl+jq aliases help me also monitoring incoming articles between two pieces of work thanks to the API.

Previously I enjoyed Flym for Android, but I decided to use this tt-rss account for several reasons (mostly synchronization between devices).
The company says they've tested leak-tight, even through several* cryo-thermal pressure cycles.*

Unless they left out the word "thousand" after the word "several", this technology doesn't seem too close to market.
