I did not see detail in the JPEG that was not present in the h.265; a few regions in the grass still look slightly better, since they have more noise and less blur, and that's more pleasant to the eye in high-frequency areas.

Also note that there is more detail in the h.265 than the JPEG where the trees meet the sky.
What do you think of the term growth hacking?
I've heard mixed opinions on whether growth hacking is considered a legitimate endeavor or is a superficial exercise. The tactics seem logical (eg. publish content or create sharing mechanisms) but wanted to see what others thought on the topic.
You should submit data and queries that you would like accelerated.
Vidyo uses an implementation of H.264 SVC, I believe. But in general it's not been widely adopted. SVC generally has worse compression than normal H.264, so for streaming it makes more sense just to store multiple encodes at different qualities.
At the end of this article, he starts to touch on some of the things that William Lind has been writing about for years - how state actors can fight against non-state actors.

He talks a lot about the different levels of war (strategic, operational, tactical) but more, talks about how war evolved over time. In particular how maneuver doctrine is superior to firepower doctrine is superior to manpower doctrine. These all are, to a certain extent, trumped by guerrilla warfare by non-state forces. Lind calls this fourth generation warfare.

Here's an archive of some of his essays (chronological from the bottom up):

Perhaps it could work as follows:
1) in terms of information sharing you are always sharing what is 'nearby' with others who are 'nearby'; this keeps the information flowing no matter what
2) in terms of information DISPLAY, it defaults to monitoring what is 'nearby' BUT you can also choose to remotely monitor other geographic areas (while 1) is still happening)

Not disputing that the "verified" message is misleading, but the comment you referred to was about "not yet being able to create a signed image".

I don't think there's anything yet in the docs with regard to signed image, apart for the release notes[1] mentioning it being a "sneak peak" of a coming feature, that is under development

They are also a great way to reduce your waste. We send all of our kitchen scraps to the chickens, and they give us eggs in return. They also keep the area under our apple tress fairly clear for us, eating all the insects that otherwise would be in our trees, and keeping the mice away. And they get to munch on any fallen apples.

Works out well for the chickens and for us.
Not everyone does what they do to make a buck. If Einstein had failed, the world today would be a different place. Paying him money to make him feel better about that would not begin to make up for what the world would have missed out on.

You are basically talking about insurance. I was in insurance and I have a pretty low opinion of it. Insurance is billed as "risk management." It's billed as "we will be there for you in your time of need." It would be more honest to claim it is kind of like Las Vegas, but in order to hit the jack pot, something really bad has to happen to you first. Real risk management is about trying to make sure bad things don't happen in the first place. It isn't about going "Oh, look, now that life has crapped all over me, I have a big check to make my suffering seem somehow okay."

Let me respectfully suggest you go do something else. I don't see how you can begin to value unborn dreams. How could you possibly know that Microsoft would be worth billions until after the fact? How can you possibly tell in advance which two guys in some basement or garage will be world changers and which will be remembered as "losers"?
Bitrate peeling is not a design goal, no.
When does it stop being an unfortunate accident and start being a crime? How many incidents does it take before we can agree on the existence of a pattern of abuse against visible minorities?

Each incident is itself an unfortunate accident. Together though, I argue they already are indicative of racial profiling, racism, and an a pattern of problematic behaviour among law enforcement professionals.
Daala uses wavelets in a few areas, but is largely a lapped DCT based codec. It's not especially suited for producing scalable bitstreams, at least not much more than any other codec. There's little demand for it right now, so we don't plan to include it as a feature.

However, if you have some interesting application of it, feel free to let us know!
No, not really. I said it for the same reason racists might use your example. To demean that group and to prime people who don't identify with that group to look down on the behavior.
It would make a lot more sense if the right to be forgotten applied to regular sites first and foremost. A news article that unfairly damages someone's reputation would eventually drop off Google if the original article were removed.
Same here. No problem at all if a command I run once a week per project takes a few seconds. I can't imagine coding in clojure without leiningen. It stops me from having to deal with a tonne of complexity I really don't want to think about.

As for cljsbuild, I'm guessing this is more a clojurescript compiler issue since again, I run leiningen once and leave it to recompile on file change in the background. Yes would be nice to have some compiler speed improvements but really it isn't that bad. I wait a second or two, not tens of seconds. At least, this is the case for me but then my cljs projects tend too be a couple of thousand lines at most.

I said "many" vs. "any" for a reason. Some people form judgemental ideas of an entire group/class of people based on limited experience with them. Limited may just mean "caricatures" of said group in popular media, or may mean "I know this person and his/her friends (i.e. small number of people) that think a certain way."

That said, I don't think continuing this thread further provides any value, and has the potential to just devolve into a flame war for various reasons.

Legal evidence has to be more strict than Bayesian evidence - even if you've seen enough to be convinced that they probably committed some crime, you need to have a system where proof is required. The alternative is that it gets trivially easy to railroad people with the justice system.

I find that promises are an elegant dependency resolution mechanism when requesting a resource asynchronously from disparate parts of an application. Promises still rely on callbacks, so the initial pitfall of calling `log()` in `get_database_handle()` could still happen. The main failure I see is that `log()` is called before the function has a chance to change the state of the application to reflect the fact that the resource is already being requested. Instead of creating a new variable to store the state of the request before logging, store a new promise, log, then resolve the promise.
Not a very convincing example. A component provides a callback, and then the callback ends up using the same DB access mechanism that the component is using? Or the same lock? I mean, is it providing a callback to itself? Layering the code, or isolating the component from those who subscribe these unpredictable callbacks seem kind of obvious to me, and would prevent all of this. The author is right, though - there is something to take away from this, but I think it's simply the importance of clean separation of concerns. Or, the importance of good factoring, if I'm using the word correctly? Other than that, we're entering the realm of the eternal programmers' dream: programs that write themselves...

Funding for GMO seed development is a hard problem, so the only people really doing it are the monsantos of the world. Which pretty much guarantees that the product is going to be fubar. You can bet that industrial seed research, if it were subjected to any rigorous safety standards, would go much the same way as industrial drug design, with all of the falsified studies you care to count. As it is, it's easier to ban the practice than trust the big producers.

The Open Source Seed Initiative is doing some really cool work to change this, and sits at an interesting place in the GMO debate. But barring a huge amount of institutional and policy support, I'm sticking on the side of banning GMO's.
If I'm a publisher, that gives me every incentive to string you as an author along for 5 years and then publish without paying you anything. Lots of projects take longer than 5 years to reach the market - think of novels rejected by multiple publishers, film scripts trapped in development hell and so on. Copyright terms begin on creation, ie when the work is fixed in some medium - not when it's first published. try considering cases other than big commercial success stories that make a lot of money in a short time.
I've yet to find an egg like that, though I've heard you can get them if you raise backyard chickens.

I've seen very firm yolks in the Philippines, where the farm to store time is hours, not days or weeks like in the US. Eggs aren't refrigerated there like they are here, which I found hard to accept, but it turns out that if you wash the eggs on the farm (as is required in the US), you have to refrigerate them. In the Philippines the eggs aren't washed, so they keep a protective coating that keeps the egg fresh without refrigeration.

Had I been asked "which do you think is faster, on average?" I would have guessed Go. I'm not sure why but that was my gut feeling. Rust feels newer and less developed (though they are both similar in age), to me, and also more ambitious in some regards.

But, this turns that on its head. Microbenchmarks are, of course, to be taken with a grain of salt, but it's still a useful data point. More useful would be a discussion of why it is so.

It is a mistake to believe that moral panics regarding sexual assault never occur. That's precisely what the satanic (sexual) ritual abuse trials were.

Because the Department of Justice says that a female is one third more likely to be raped not attending college than on a college campus I'd say it is at least possible we're in the midst of a moral panic over sexual assaults on college campuses.

The lack of reliable data, which places the number of campus sexual assaults somewhere in the wildly varying range of .08% to 20% of the population, the pseudo-religious "with-us-or-against-us" mentality, the desire to see justice done extralegally rather than in a court, and the vitriolic shaming of dissenting voices all have the flavor of a moral panic.

The mob-based tribal thinking that "if he's been accused more than once, he must be guilty" is an inherent flaw in human reasoning, of which this program is simply a mathematical model.

Mathematically, the fatal flaw of the model is that it assumes all accusations are supported by evidence of an arbitrary positive weight, and that all accusations are independent. This is never the almost never the case in real accusations. Perhaps before dropping out of school he should read up on other misuses of statistics that have manipulated juries and ruined lives, like the famous "Prosecutor's Fallacy." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosecutor%27s_fallacy, which quite literally lead to the death of British Solicitor Sally Clark.

What saddens me most is that some casual readers are now walking around with the incredibly mistaken assumption that it is mathematically sound to assume a person accused thrice is virtually certain to be guilty.

I don't say any of this to diminish the very real problem of sexual assault, but merely to point out that people are surrendering their rights and their reason to mob mentality.

That mentality is precisely what two thousand years of legal scholarship evolved to fight. And whether executed by silicon or scythe, mob mentality is wrong. And quite frankly it is frightening to watch.
Count me as someone whose experience of HN has dramatically improved this past year.

I don't spend that much time here and I don't have much idea what the staff is doing or why. But I don't think your sentiment makes any sense. That's like saying "Let a city of 100k+ people just sort it out, without governance." It wouldn't be a city if that happened. You can argue about what kind of governance is best, but there has to be some kind of governance. Even "Burning Man" began instituting a kind of city planning once it got big enough.
Apart from JPEG's blockiness and VP8's complete loss of detail, it looks like the main difference between codecs is which parts of the image have detail preserved. Some codecs preserve subtle sky texture at the expense of the trees, others do the opposite.

Let me go out on a limb and speak for many people with broad generalizations:

Many of us have contempt for earlier versions of ourselves.

Many of us started on PHP, hacking together wordpress and joomla and drupal sites, etc. We cut our teeth on it. We went from incompetent to competent on it. But then we decided we wanted to be something bigger, something better, something more professional. So we jumped on the flavor of the month (a few years ago it was RoR, now it's Node, soon it'll be Golang) and we never looked back. Since this hot-new-thing looked and acted and felt nothing like the old thing, we figured the new thing was good, and therefore the old thing was bad.

Now the new junior programmers remind us of our old selves. We've got no patience for it. It makes us uncomfortable to think that we were ever that new, ever that unseasoned or naive. They're using PHP? Oh well that only reinforces that I'm above it now. In this way our disdain for PHP is only a self-congratulatory indulgence. We're patting ourselves on the back for making that choice to leave it behind.

Like the bullies in the hallway at school, we're just a bunch of insecure people. And that's why we keep shoving PHP into a locker.

iirc all omega3 in non-plants comes from their diet of plants. Similarly we make Omega3 eggs, by feeding them lots of omega 3. Someday we may have omega3 pepperoni pizza by feeding the cows a GMO corn that makes omega3. The more the consumer demands, the more industry will shift to provide, but sometimes it's a comedy. We wanted pasture chickens w/ omega 3 from grass, we got caged birds w/ flaxseed supplements.
While interesting, this also completely fails to take into account motivations for targeting people with false accusations.

For example, while Michael Jackson was accused of assault on two occasions, I think it's fair to also consider that the prospect of a financial payoff could be a motivation to press charges against him. In the first such case, he eventually settled for $15 million towards a trust fund for the accuser, despite no evidence and a strong case that the accusations were only levied as a money grab (the accuser was seeking a monetary settlement instead of criminal charges from the very beginning)

In the second public accusation (years later), Michael was found innocent. Additionally, given the way things went in the first case, it is entirely believable that someone could see accusing Jackson of child molestation as a means to an easy payoff.

I'm not saying Michael Jackson is innocent beyond all doubt, but the court clearly determined it was impossible to make a case that he was guilty beyond all doubt. I do think it's important to consider other factors in situations where assault (sexual or otherwise) is accused though.

For what it's worth, I think it's very likely Bill Cosby is guilty of most of the allegations he is currently party to.
Consider if a public company 'X,' conducted its finances in such a way that they set up a bunch of shell companies, transferred money to these companies in a non-visible way then had those shell companies send that money back to company X in exchange for some nominal goods or services. Then they repeated this process over and over such that the company's public filings showed a steady increase in revenue quarter after quarter, such an increase that they attracted considerable investor attention, resulting in a stock price that rose steadily on the back of these circular accounting tricks. As the stock continued to rise, the company's major stockholders cashed out their shares.
