What kind of video servers are you talking about? For ingesting from a feed/camera in? Streaming out video? Curious.

All three are basically the right of ownership, isn't that practically exactly what capitalism is? Could you please elaborate on how the world would look like without these three concepts?

I use my bank/credit card often, which is Chip&PIN/EMV. I have never had a problem with any of my cards in that way, ie. the reader being clunky and failing to contact the card. I have however worn out a card that has been in

You can do that with EMV terminals in Europe. I've done it repeatedly in Sweden. You hit the yellow button labeled "Signature" and they'll want to see an ID before they accept the signature. And we're Chip+PIN here

I would have preferred to have "(audio)" or similar in the HN title. I was expecting a written article, but it's actually audio - 1 hour, 4 minutes of audio. :-)

Could you elaborate more on what you mean by "old school tech"? To add some counter-anecdata to yours, I find there's plenty of Rails/jQuery/Go/Rust/Cloud people here in Sweden/Stockholm and that ther

I would just like to point out the irony in using 'LE' as a short for Let's Encrypt, as 'LE' usually gets used for shortening Law Enforcement. (Also: Congratulations and well done, Team Let's Encrypt!)

How would you self describe the general search quality of DuckDuckGo, excluding the (brilliant) Instant Answers? How do you evaluate the general search quality? Do you have any focus on expanding crawling in general? And localized content i

In Sweden - the current interest rate is 1%. This is financed by the state and is low because of a multitude of factors. One being that it is practically impossible to default on the loan. It will stick around. (The tuition is free for high

I respectfully disagree. No one is forced to take out a loan and go to college or university. You said it yourself, they do have options. There might however be a lot more traction on one of the paths as compared to the other. You're p

And it might be worth knowing that the two mentioned companies (Filimundus AB, M Brath AB) in the article - each have about 10 employees, according to 2014 official records. I'd say that it's quite hard to extrapolate that the who

This did for some reason wake a bit of nostalgia in me from the earlier days of the public Internet. I bet it's the spartan design and the lack of anything else other than the to-the-point content. (That said, fascinating content - mig

I can highly recommend watching the 14 minute long video at the top. The video in itself is in my opinion very well done, but of course the content is what is incredibly spectacular.

I don't think so. Jason/textfiles only scanned a few single manuals and the Last-Modified HTTP Header says "Wed, 02 Apr 2003 20:20:24 GMT", of course - that doesn't have to be indicative of the actual modification t

I'd say there's currently no plan, but to figure out a plan. I recommend keeping an eye out on the blog for further news - although it'll probably be published to HN as well.

The author does have a HackerNews account, which is "textfiles" (Note the domain name of the blog). He has not re-published this on HN himself.

Test Driven Development (TDD) may or may not be a fad. Regardless, one can always have testing in ones development work. That doesn't mean you're driven by the tests. Edit: On second thought, I read your comment sloppily. I agree,

The fate of the manuals are not known to be heading to the Internet Archive just yet. It's quite likely they'll end up there though. At least for digitalizing and scanning them in. I however join you in applauding Manuals Plus in
