With ffmpeg 5 using libaom it's actually reasonable. Obviously it depends on quality and whatnot, but I'm able to get about .25X of realtime playback speed with AV1 encoding. The magic switch is setting -cpu-used to something higher than the default of 1, which is go-on-vacation-and-maybe-it-will-finish slow.

Rough example:
`ffmpeg -i video.mkv -c:v libaom-av1 -cpu-used 5 av1_test.mkv`
If a perfect market existed in water in western states, the cost of a gallon of water would be the same whether directed to urban or agricultural uses. It clearly isn't, which is a pretty clear sign that there are high frictions facing people who want to purchase the water they need.

I don't know why the medicare for all plans need to ban private healthcare. Norway and UK has free healthcare for all, but still private options available for people that want to pay extra. That is also reducing the load on the public system so I can't really see why it is negative.
This is so awful. I hope nobody ever actually uses it seriously.

Somehow they have private insurance in Europe too. Germany has universal health care and you are well advised to get private insurance if you make enough that the state will allow you to buy it. The threshold is a salary of about $68K/year in US dollars.
Hold on, doesn’t one-database-per-user totally absolve all ACID guarantees? You can’t do cross-database transactions (to my knowledge), which means you can end up with corrupted data during aggregations. What am I missing?
This is similar to what I hoped websql had eventually grown into. sqlite in the browser, but let me sync it up and down with a server. Every user gets their own database, the first time to the app they "install" the control and system data, then their data, then writes are synced to the server. If it became standard, it could be super easy - conflict resolution notwithstanding.
> But it's also crazy that your access to healthcare is based on how the government prioritizes your need of it.

So does every private insurer under the sun. You've never had insurance deny access to care? No insurer can afford to give an MRI to everyone a doctor wants.
What’s wrong with it is a few things:

1) there could have been more money for people who actually needed it and were negatively impacted by losing their job or getting sick or whatnot

2) buying lots of “luxury” items drove up inflation. This is bad for a whole slew of reasons we are seeing now.

If we wanted to stimulate the economy, we could have done it in more effective ways that didn’t hose us.
It’s a shortcut that comes in handy when you operate in deep file hierarchies and can’t be bothered to memorize the path.

That said there’s even easier ways to get there:

Just navigate, the sidebar will reflect what’s in your Finder sidebar so you can use that as a shelf if you’re going into one specific directory a lot for your work. It’s a dynamic environment, you don’t have to treat it like it’s static.

Or: hit Command-Shift-G. This will allow you to type the path with tab completion.

Dragging the folder in is for when you’re operating in the Finder and another application and rather than navigating you want to just drag the proxy in to go right there. It’s a shortcut, but depending on the task it’s not necessarily the most efficient way to do it.
Market is dramatically down but big tech earnings still very strong. I don’t think this is the end of the story.
I've seen another YT dark pattern lately. I often skip ads with youtube-dl (download the video and watch offline). But sometimes I like to be even more aggressive and skip the whole video, by using ytdl to download the closed caption text (VTT file) so I can read it instead of watching the vid. I have a python script that reformats the .vtt (a messy xml file full of timestamps and other markup) into something like readable text, and that worked pretty well until recently.

Lately I've found that 1) more videos don't have auto transcription, and 2) the vtt files have gotten messed up so that the timestamps are no longer properly interspersed with the text. My script strips them all out except once per minute, so if I find something interesting or confusing in the transcript, I can quickly find that spot in the video and watch it. That doesn't work any more. The hack is still better than nothing but I wonder what YT is up to, messing up a feature like that, which was presumably done for accessibility reasons, so its breakage likely has consequences beyond annoying freeloaders like me.

I'm from the UK, which is basically fully free-at-point-of-use healthcare (you pay a nominal fee for prescriptions, dentistry, optician) and is often championed as a great option.

@colechristensen is mostly correct, let's look at the descriptions in the announcement for the first three books you mentioned.

The Netanyahus: "historical novel about the ambiguities of the Jewish-American experience"

Fat Ham: "grapple[s] with questions of identity, kinship, responsibility, and honesty"

Covered with Nigh: "A gripping account of Indigenous justice"

And for the rest, I think the description you provided hints that collective identity is an important element of the books. (except perhaps for "Cuba: An American History" and "Invisible Child")

Doctor's prioritize need. More sicker, more quicker 'service' / treatment.

There is no monopoly on health care in Canada: if you want to cut a cheque you can get private care. What is legislated is that if you take provincial funding you cannot also take private funds. It's either-or.

This is always my thoughts when I start a project with something else .
This comments shows a deep lack of cultural awareness. The East has created as much a legacy in terms of societal achievements as the West. All of that while being Buddhists, Taoists, Confucianists and Hindus.

This ethos to which you attribute the greatness of the West, in the 1500s was seen by the East as a barbaric, dirty way of life. Civilizations like those of the Middle East, China, and even the MesoAmericas were far more advanced in technological and societal arrangements than the “West” up until the 17th century.

Detachment proposed by Eastern traditions is not equal to “lack of emotional involvement”; rather it is the lack self-identification with the transient aspects of life. It’s the breaking of the illusion of that same ego that propelled many civilizations (Western and Eastern alike) to cause atrocities in name of a so-called progress, industrial achievements and sophisticated products.

Ask HN: Is Web Penetration Testing Worth It?
One of our clients is forcing us to share a web penetration testing report. We do all kinds of security testing ourselves, but they wouldn't accept our reports. The client policy requires the vendors to share a third-party report. I spoke to a bunch of penetration testing companies. It seems they do basic tests and charge ridiculously high. My question is, is it worth doing web penetration testing? Has anyone found it helpful beyond the checklist need?

Is there a source for this? I'd guess that there's a percentile where American health care has better outcomes than other countries, but 50th seems pretty low.
In Norway and UK there is public healthcare, but you can pay to skip the lines if you want to. I don't know why we would go full socialist in the US when living in a capitalist society. Should we only get cars allocated to us or something as well?

I've been to multiple Canadian ERs (2 times total) and multiple US ERs (2 times total).

The only difference has been that 1 time the Canadian ER was busier and I waited my turn (based on an initial triage).

I feel, during my visit, I was appropriately handled in all 4 locations. After leaving the hospital in Canada I was done. However in the US, both times a few weeks later I got a bill for roughly $1000, and it actively makes me think twice about going to the ER (even though I can afford the $1000). In the US, I may have skipped the ER the second time if I hadn't felt strongly I was having an appendicitis. Truly scary to think I considered not going based on a bit of money.

If it wasn't clear, even being well off in the US, I prefer the overall experience in Canada.
If we're talking wages here, what are the options exactly? Is there anything bigger than 401(k)?

This is ignoring charity, which I believe is available to anyone anyway.
I have, as have members of my family, and have received excellent care for some fairly serious conditions. I think the Canadian system is under funded, and I'm sure there are plenty of true horror stories, but they always get highlighted by people who want to tear down/prevent a public healcare system so I feel I have to bring up that my family have received good and timely care. When I really needed healthcare I was unemployed and it was stressful enough seeking care without having to worry about insurance. Now that I'm employed I'm happy to pay back into the system.

I value having public health care. I hope the US can come up with a good public system so that Canada can stop resting on "at least we're not like the US!"
No, they have been talked about ad nauseam for the past few years.
I appreciate that you point out that agriculture exports contain the local water.

I have always found it cool when in a showerthought moment, thinking how kind of cool it is that I'm consuming water from another part of the world, as I munch on whatever produce.
It's not their water. It's collectively our water. And they don't pay market rates for it.

Agriculture costs are incredibly complex. The true cost of food is socialized, in the form of free/cheap land and water, subsidies, tax breaks, and fixed prices. I don't want to pay the true dollar price for food any more than the next person. I recognize that there's a societal benefit in socializing/externalizing the cost of food production.

That shouldn't stop us from acknowledging the true cost and trying to fix it. If we're looking to conserve water, the very first place we should be looking is agriculture. Maybe we shouldn't be growing rainforest crops in the desert. Maybe we shouldn't be draining our reservoirs and aquifers for crops that are exported. Maybe agribusinesses making record profits should feel the pain of higher water costs before we tell people they can't take a shower.

'They don't trust 18-year-olds to tell the people with guns who to shoot at, or where to drive the trucks'

Both soldiers and drivers can be alone for hours and sometimes have to make life-or-death decisions during that time.
> The same way responsible drivers should not pay for reckless ones? Or responsible homeowners shouldn't pay for reckless ones?

Yes, exactly. Reckless drivers and reckless homeowners should pay higher premiums, as their insurance covers a higher risk (a priori expected cost) compared to responsible drivers and responsible homeowners.

> The whole idea of insurance is to distribute the costs so that no one has to bear long tail costs alone...

The "whole idea of insurance" from the buyer's perspective is to pay a fixed premium instead of carrying risk. The value of the service, and thus the premium one is willing to pay, is determined by the risk being mitigated for each individual customer. The existence of "risk pools" is important for the insurance provider's cash flow, but a mere implementation detail to the customer. Insurance is not a subsidy or charity; if you and others like yourself are expected to cost more on average than some other group, you should expect to pay more. In a competitive insurance market those with higher risks will pay higher premiums; a company that attempted to charge everyone a flat rate would find itself either bankrupt or incapable of competing on premiums for any but the most expensive (highest-risk) customers.
I agree with you they targeted small businesses pretty heavily with stimulus, and probably a lot of fraud occurred. While some of that money made it in the form of bonuses to employees, I bet a lot of it was soaked up by the frothy stock market.

> You're not supposed to be able to get private healthcare in Canada […]

Sure you are. There is no government monopoly on health care in Canada: if you want to cut a cheque you can get private care. Nothing illegal about it.

All (family) doctors in Canada are private businesses. It's just that most of them hook into the provincial payment system. Similarly for hospitals: they are not government run, just funded through government. If you wish to set up a private clinic and/or hospital and not take government funding, there is no legal impediment to do so.

What is legislated is that if you take provincial funding you cannot also take private funds. It's either-or.

> It's all hush-hush because those in power are the primary users of that parallel system.

It's not hush-hush, it's just most of us plebes cannot afford fancy pants clinics.
The Lumiere brothers attempted 3D films even before they properly started with 2D ones (iirc).

Google's advertising says "Watch youtube ad-free". It doesn't say "watch youtube ad-free unless the video you're watching embeds ad content as well", heck it doesn't even say "Watch youtube ad-free*".

So whatever they are actually providing, it's not what they are selling.

As I said in several comments now: My opinion is that if you try to sell me ad-free, sell me an actually ad-free product.

edit: it also occurs to me that the recommender and search engine will not mark nor honor my "ad-free" status, nor will the auto-play feature. So if I pay for ad-free and google says "hey watch this video with lots of paid promotion next", wouldn't that just be google pushing more ads on me even if I supposedly pay for "no ads"?

A distribution isn't a single individual. It consists of different people, developers, maintainers, contributors etc., who are at different levels of acceptance or appreciation of various features of systemd. It isn't as simple as being content with it, or adopting it. In a diverse distribution like Debian there are constant debates about various features of systemd, and that's not only because they haven't decided on systemd yet, but because systemd project isn't also making their job easier by constantly adding new things and gently pushing distributions to use them.
I'm all for funny names, but giving your project a needlessly inflammatory name, to me signals that the author doesn't have an interest in working with the greater open-source community to develop it further or adopt it.
