Most Brazilians agree that censorship is wrong. The problem is that "censorship" is a vague word.

We lived in an actual military dictatorship until 1985. A dictatorship that engaged in real hard prior-censorship. Music, news, and pieces of art were all subject to a military collegiate body that would decide what could and could not be published.

What's going on now is very, very different. Brazil, like most European countries, thinks that if you commit a crime through what you say, you can and must be held accountable. No one is being prevented from expressing their opinion.
Uhhh, what? Do experience and rationality not count here?
My point was that Apple paid to much, and I do stand by that.

Yes during the biggest bubble in computing history they might have been able to IPO and that might have given them enough money to survive. Sure, great, but that doesn't mean there is inherent long term value in a web framework that made the company worth almost 900 million $ in today's money.
Correct. That would make no business sense
Alright, thank you for sharing. Then I'll just hope either Skyler or Brian wants to share their story some day here on HN

In the US offering different prices when paying by cash vs card was a violation of the agreement with Visa, as is putting a minimum price threshold for card usage.

It's still fairly widespread though, and occasionally makes the news. Might explain why you didn't see it often.
What does pirate deviation mean? ChatGPT doesn't get it either.
A quick google says Doug Mills was using a Sony a1, which has a rolling shutter, and as the bullet was not perfectly level, the trace length could also have been affected by that.
UAC is not a security boundary. Its only there to prevent the user from accidentally making changes to the system that they didn't intend, but it provides no security except from your own mistakes. Its so much not considered a security boundary that microsoft doesn't even offer a bug bounty for UAC bypasses.
The larger the group, the harder to have a homogenous culture, sure. But there can absolutely still be a company culture somewhere big. Let's grow the company up to the size of a nation state. Not everyone will behave and believe the same things. But there is most assuredly general commonalities, else there would be no difference between the US and Europe or Asia.

Bringing it back, while I have not worked at Amazon, I know they favor smaller teams that are self owned / directed. Yes, one team may suck (different subculture) and not mesh with another. But, in general, you can expect for some commonality. And it will be very different than a start up culture where everyone shares the root account and password to all dbs and env.

In my ~1k person company they have traditionally favored moving fast and validating code in prod. A new culture pushing higher quality to support larger, more demanding customers is being pushed from leadership and demanded by many developers and teams. The culture is changing. What other word could that be other than "culture"? Processes? Those are just codified customs (which is culture)
In air traffic control they say "possible pilot deviation" so they were making a play on words.
I've never sensed any real desire for China to offshore to the Philippines, given its military alliance with the US. Maybe they dangle the prospect from time to time to try to pry the Philippines away. They have much friendlier targets in Southeast Asia, with Thailand and Malaysia at the top of the list.
It's relatively easy to get 100us level precision in CPU wait and mpv has 42ms (42,000us) to emit each frame (at 24fps). Nevermind that the monitor refresh is likely 60fps or better so each frame lasts for two+ monitor frames anyway. As long as it is consistent with each frame timing it should be very rare that a video frame is skipped or doubled up.
Get back to us when Biden is a twice convicted sex offender, has caused a dozen plus of his inner circle indicted for felonies across many jurisdictions, when several have pled guilty, when he is convicted of felony fraud, when he steals nuclear secrets and gives them to foreigners, and when his decades long employees and own lawyers turn him in with video, audio, eyewitness, photographic, and text evidence.

Then we won't be playing whataboutism wackamole.
You're not wrong, but the other end of the spectrum is that you don't have any players because the only ones talking about it are unhappy.

I used to work on F2P games, and you have to balance things. As nice as it would be to ignore the loudmouths, unless you can guarantee that no one else is listening to them either, which you can't, you'll have to cater to them somewhat to pacify them.

He mentions in the thread that he had to delete posts offensive to the developers. Maybe that's why?

In fairness to him, he offers the posters an opportunity to propose a technical solution and responds to all the posts that do it. It is interesting that nobody in the thread went to check in the code of mpv, smplayer, etc. to see how it's done there. Surely this would be the best response to his request for technical suggestions?

Sometimes you work right through it because you’re in flow, other times it’s a godsend rest.

Hard to pick up one thing among multiple.

For example, transfers between accounts are instantaneous, not 2-5 days for ACH (Wire transfers are same-day, but expensive).

Electronic menus/payments in cafes are default for at least 3 years now (US has toasttab.com but it's far from being default).

If you have a small business account, taxes are paid in one click (app shows you tax to be paid with Confirm button).

PS: These features are available in many other countries besides Ukraine, of course. Only in government id/functions Ukraine excels (#2 in the world, after Estonia only).
> Because, seeing the speeds needed for the type of computing the brain does

Which computations specifically are happening specifically in the brain?
I’m a merchant myself, I sell e-paper calendars. Last year I paid about 4% of my revenue for transaction costs in various shapes. That’s very roughly 20% of my margin. (!) Some of these are hidden as very bad, but non-optional, currency conversions.

The hard one here is acceptance by customers. No merchant wants to clutter their checkout page with a button that nobody understands.
Or worse, have customers get trapped in a dead-end payment process.
Because their products are not enterprise-level. I work in a company that provides macbooks to developers and we have over 500 apple silicon macs and managing them is an absolute nightmare.

Hardware is terrible quality, they have so many issues with faulty screens and charging and every time you have to send one back to Apple via a reseller it takes weeks and the fix cost is usually not worth it, so we have to write them off before they depreciate. Intel Macs often have issues triggering the installation for some reason, sometimes it takes dozen reboots to kick it off.

There's no staging for the OS, each device gets updates straight from the internet and every update breaks something. There has not been a single minor update in 13.x and 14.x that hasn't broken some backwards compatibility (breaking Keychain seems to be Apple's favorite thing) or changing user's settings such as notifications or security&privacy breaking third party software annoying the user and making our lives miserable and there's nowhere you can raise an issue, so you can't rely on building out (limited) automation because API calls keep getting removed, changed or removed in binaries but left in code like the call to trust a cert key in Keychain...

Safari is absolute trash. I have the worst opinion about people who made it, that browser doesn't not belong anywhere outside of testing. It's a complete and utter garbage, the only browser that doesn't know how to handle SSO sessions, can't remember certificate preferences and keeps prompting user for authentication when accessing Keychain when other browsers don't.

Apple Mail is the next worst piece of software I've ever whitnessed in my entire life, it's possibly the only mail client in the entire world that doesn't know how to re-use a connection to an IMAP server, it opens a new connection for every single thing possible absolutely hammering a mail server. This is just absolutely insane.

MDM is incomplete because of MacOS restrictions, there are lots of things you can't do which you would expect from the most basic MDM tool and the most annoying thing about it is that signing into an iCloud account prevents MDM from wiping the device essentially giving someone a device free of charge so what's the point of MDM then...

Apple's devices are built for retail consumers, not enterprise users.
Outside of low bitrate streaming (youtube), most media has sufficient keyframes (I frames) that this distinction really doesn't matter. I don't know what mpv does, though.
1. Moving stuff in a ledger from A to B (sending money around in general) is all fairly trivial from a technology standpoint, but only a minuscule part of what financial institutions are doing. They spend a lot of money and effort on combatting fraud and making sure rules and regulations (KYC, AML, CTF, sanctions, etc.) are being followed.

(The crypto bros (and some FinTechs) solve a tiny part of the puzzle with a new technology (not even good/efficient tech in case of crypto), and then think that they alone have solved it, and that the rest is easy, and that they are now in a position to take over finance. Not so.)

2. Costs vary tremendously by jurisdiction and industry structure. In Europe, bank transfers within the SEPA region are basically free (instantaneous transfers might cost 35 cents or so). Bank transfers, direct debit, and standing orders have been ubiquitous and cheap for a long time, and checks and credit cards are rarely used (on the continent; the UK is closer to the US system). There was no need for PayPal, as it was fairly trivial to pay bills. (Only when Ebay bought PayPal and made it the default payment method did PayPal get any traction in Europe, I think.)

Similarly, credit card interchange fees are capped at 0.5% in the EU. That means fewer card rewards (which arguably benefit mostly the rich), and less credit card marketing.

The banking system in the US is quite crap, but that's not due to stupidity, but a mix of a) well intended regulation that intends to support small regional banks, b) misguided business-friendly regulation with insufficient consumer protection.

2.b. I think Visa/MC/Amex are ridiculously expensive in many jurisdictions, and that they basically skim off some 2% or so of the entire retail revenue is ridiculous. They should be treated as cheap infrastructure. But this requires sensible regulation. It's not a technological issue.

3. There are lots of somewhat successful neo-banks, neo-brokers, etc. in many jurisdictions. I don't think many of them have extraordinary profits. And that's because, no, it's not "all coming from inefficiency and lack of real competition". Sure, the sector is so heavily regulated (like aviation) that you can't just walk in and compete willy-nilly. That has some downsides, but it also has advantages.

4. A bank that makes insufficient profits and tethers on the brink of insolvency invites bank runs. That's one reason regulators are not pushing too hard for more competition. (Replacing the current fractional banking system with private credit + narrow banking might be an option, but that's a huge and complicated topic...)

Investigating with the intent to suppress information you find objectionable is literally the definition of censorship. The reuters article makes it clear they intended to follow through legality be damned.
> not what I expected from the title talking about "smart"

I think the title is mainly a reference to the TV show “Are you smarter than a fifth grader?”

Fittingly then, is the fact that a lot of types of questions that they were asking in that TV show was mostly trivia. Which I also don’t think of as being a particularly important characteristic of being “smart”.

When I think of “smart” people, I think of people who can take limited amount of information and connect dots in ways that others can’t. Of course it also builds on knowledge. You need to have specific knowledge in the first place to make connections. But knowing facts like “the battle of so and so happened on August 18th 1924, one hundred years ago today” alone is not “smart”. A smart person is someone who uses knowledge in a surprising way. Or in a way that others would not have been able to. After the smart person made the connection others might also go like “oh that’s so obvious why didn’t I think about that” or even “yeah that’s really obvious, I could’ve thought of that too”. And yet the first person to actually make, and properly communicate that connection was the smart one. Smart exactly because they did.
There’s also a slippery slope where good intentions of protecting “free speech” at all costs enable an anti-democratic authoritarian takeover or worse.

Not to say I know which this is, or a better way to balance things, but free speech absolutism over all other considerations is not always the right answer to protect free speech and democracy.
48hz support seems pretty common.
VLC is pretty bad and it shows the more you use it.

It doesn't let the audio clip/exceed safe volumes and always applies some sort of a limiter, even if it's disabled everywhere in the settings. Try using an EQ on a bass-heavy track and see that it's limited.

Try jumping back multiple times in a song at its beginning, and it will play in lower pitch.
The answer here is pretty simple — you take money, resources, etc from people who don't reproduce and you redistribute them to the people who do until the population stops declining.

In the US you can take money from a credit card by just using the that’s plainly written on it. That’s not what I would call making an effort at origination fraud prevention.

One aspect that's very important is legal. It's very hard / cumbersome to comply in legal for payment processing in one country, having it to comply in most countries is a massive feat, and an expensive one at that. Though yeah if you already has a mass, pressuring regulation may be easier.

My previous contract (Ireland) was 3 months - it was reciprocal, so they had to give me 3 months notice to quit, and I had to give them 3 months notice to quit.

Due to the position "garden leave" was the most typical way to spend those 3 months, so it wasn't much of a real-world concern.

I suspect your view of women's preferences is jaundiced. Most men earn average or below average incomes (by definition) but I don't see any data to suggest that there is a significant number of those men are unable to find women. That suggests to me that this idea of women only dating 6-foot tall men with 6-figure incomes is a myth.

I did a quick google for explanations:

https://theconversation.com/what-is-quantum-entanglement-a-p...

In the simplest terms, quantum entanglement means that aspects of one particle of an entangled pair depend on aspects of the other particle, no matter how far apart they are or what lies between them. These particles could be, for example, electrons or photons, and an aspect could be the state it is in, such as whether it is “spinning” in one direction or another.

The strange part of quantum entanglement is that when you measure something about one particle in an entangled pair, you immediately know something about the other particle, even if they are millions of light years apart. This odd connection between the two particles is instantaneous, seemingly breaking a fundamental law of the universe. Albert Einstein famously called the phenomenon “spooky action at a distance.”

https://www.nobelprize.org/uploads/2022/10/popular-physicspr...

Interesting things happen if the particles in an entangled pair travel in opposite directions and one of them then meets a third particle in such a manner that they become entangled. They then enter a new shared state. The third particle loses its identity, but its original properties have now been transferred to the solo particle from the original pair. This way of transferring an unknown quantum state from one particle to another is called quantum teleportation.

Remarkably, quantum teleportation is the only way to transfer quantum information from one system to another without losing any part of it. It is absolutely impossible to measure all the properties of a quantum system and then send the information to a recipient who wants to reconstruct the system...However, entirely unknown quantum properties can be transferred using quantum teleportation and appear intact in another particle, but at the price of them being destroyed in the original particle.

Once this had been shown experimentally, the next step was to use two pairs of entangled particles. If one particle from each pair are brought together in a particular way, the undisturbed particles in each pair can become entangled despite never having been in contact with each other. This entanglement swapping was first demonstrated in 1998 by Anton Zeilinger’s research group. Entangled pairs of photons, particles of light, can be sent in opposite directions through optical fibres and function as signals in a quantum network. Entanglement between two pairs makes it possible to extend the distances between the nodes in such a network.
