This whole situation sucks because most people are rightly outraged about police violence, but their anger is totally misdirected. These businesses had nothing to do with the death of George Floyd. I live in Portland, Oregon now. Without go

I agree, and I'd go a step further and say that if you destroy evidence of someone burning my city down or looting, you're an accomplice to that crime.

YouTube seems to be in this amazing degraded state for me where videos play just fine, but it isn't showing me ads.

It seems like the vast majority of employment contracts prohibit side projects like this, or at the very least, require explicit company approval. I'm interested in hearing strategies on how to best pursue side projects without violati

I think the author's main point is that Apple's process violates the principle of least privilege. Technicians shouldn't require access to the software in order to repair a hardware problem.

One of the problems with Game Pass is that you can't actually watch live games. You can listen to live audio. You can watch replays of games. In fact, you can watch replays from 22 different camera angles. You can watch condensed repla

Most of the comments in this thread are ridiculous. Just as you (hopefully) get to choose how many hours you work, your coworkers also get to choose how many hours they work. I'd ask yourself two questions: 1: Are you happy with your c

One of the biggest problems with politics is that politicians need to raise a lot of money to get (re)elected. That money comes with strings attached, which makes it difficult for our politicians to make good decisions. I had never consider

Interesting post! The author mentions that the first step was to "receive this input and to generate HLS output to a known folder". I have a couple questions about this step: 1: Did they re-encode the input? Or just repackage it?

Taxation is a huge part of it. Employees don't have to pay taxes on the benefit. I think with the ACA, some small business can claim a tax credit for providing health insurance to their employees, but I'm not 100% sure about that

Do you believe anyone can become a 10X programmer? Or do you need a certain level of talent in order for the hard work to pay off? My high school had an introductory programming class. Most students hadn't done any programming before,

This seems reasonable to me. Pretty much every academic code of conduct requires students not to publish solutions to homework problems. This doesn't prevent the use of git, just git public repositories. Rather than just issue DMCA tak

Do you think destroying technology and flipping cop cars is going to end the surveillance state? While an interesting thought experiment, it seems unlikely. If anything, it would give the pro-surveillance lobby enough political capital to f

The worst case scenario for the FBI is that the evidence gets thrown out in this one case. No one will lose their job. No one will get seriously punished. As such, I fully expect the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to continue to com

Consider the case of a buffer overrun, a vulnerability that can often cause segfaults. A clever attacker could write a bunch of nasty code to that buffer, then use the buffer overrun to insert a jump statement back to that malicious code. M

Thanks for taking the time to run that test. It is an extremely impressive result if it truly is lossless. I'd love to be able to independently verify it, so if you ever get a Linux compressor/decompressor, feel free to get in tou
