I'd love a self-hosted version for no other reason than to be able to customize encode quality and video size. I'd like to do some video casts for my coworkers on workflows I developed/use, but sharper text would be convenien

We're going to bring manufacturing back! But we're not bringing back the crappy manufacturing jobs that pay absolute peanuts. No, we're going to automate those! With robots that we don't make here in the US, of course. T

It boggles my mind that people still think Elon is some sort of luminary when every time he talks about something new he makes it painfully obvious that he's at best uninformed and at worst willfully ignorant. He doesn't understan

I recall some major US chain (TJ Maxx? JC Penney? Target? Something?) that decided to start pitching some kind of 'honest pricing' scheme, where all their stuff was just rounded up, so instead of $24.99 it would be priced at $25 f

Not sure what your point is. "Concepts that have been proven in other countries are irrelevant here"? Or just "We have nothing to learn from what others have done and should start every idea from scratch"?
