There's no reason that using CUDA inherently leads to inferior compression but I'm not aware of a CUDA-accelerated encoder that's any good relative to a pure software encoder (or even NVENC, the pure hardware encoder on an NV

If we're bringing dictionaries into this, the OED explicitly labels that definition as obsolete outside a few specific usages (e.g. "every man", "half man, half beast", "man or beast"). Now if you were spe

I disagree, at least in my situation. My DNS requests traverse my ISP's network to my ISP's DNS server (or my employer's ISP's DNS server if I'm at work). I live in a country where I have very strong privacy protect

From the original comment: "these large, impenetrable silicon valley companies". Amazon isn't a silicon valley company, perhaps that's why its support isn't as horrible.

For large amounts of money, I think the best way is to open your new account, wire transfer (not ACH or check) the money to your new account, confirm that the funds are received, then close the old account. This will likely cost ~$25 depend

Something that bothers me: Most of these tests are looking for the same things, so why do I have to take the test for each company I apply for? It strikes me that this is a similar problem to getting into university and for that there are s

I live in Switzerland and even here you're usually not covered, despite the reputation for banking. You can buy separate insurance however and some non-bank safe deposit boxes come with insurance.
