I watched my fair share of RealPlayer video at about that bitrate 25 years ago. I see absolutely no reason that a modern codec designed for low bitrates couldn’t look that good on a talking head. It’s not like they are pandering though. The

I love that they hate eating their own dog food. Remember when FaceTime was promised to be open because it was just SIP? Remember when iMessage let you connect to every service under the sun? Remember when MacOS had awesome remote access bu

I can't help but feel for this guy having done my own reverse engineering of BMW's i-bus back in the day. You get to the point where you see such possibility if the carmaker would just open up a little damn bit. It's a real s

Those taxes don't just pay for repairing damaged roads. It also pays to build and maintain streets and pedestrian ways where it wouldn't ordinarily be economic to do so -- like paving the street to your house or paving your alleyw

It's tunable for one, and it might be very fast to tune. At very high frequencies these are targeting (>50ghz), making an antenna suitably wideband to cover the entire bandwidth of some service is difficult and might result in a com

I respectfully but completely disagree. The revenue to creators of in-video sponsorships are neither predicated by nor affected by whether or not I or anyone else watch the embedded advertisement. Because there is no way to effectively edit

At the hobbyist level currently the best results (in terms of cost/quality and time/quality and overall capability) can be achieved using photogrammetry in conjunction with processing in Meshroom and post processing in Meshlab or

USB Power Delivery is just flat out great. You get various voltages including 5, 7.5, 9, 12, 15, or 20V up to 5A. I have converted a load of stuff to run on USB-C PD. My most useful one is a travel CPAP. It consists of a USB PD trigger and

This is actually a rather involved thing that you want to do here. Short answer is that you really need a presentation switcher or something similar that uses FPGA. If you want to roll your own, you can do it, but it's probably not gon

Everything you said is true, but it does not provide any reasonable argument that HSTS as it is designed and implemented is a valid way to enforce this. The potential for malicious or accidental misuse to cause an effectively immediate and

I’m pretty sure most of the revenue on the new TLDs is just corporate customers securing their trademarks or protecting against the squatters or spear phishing/impersonation attacks. I am curious about the returns on the 100k registrat

I am just replying to add some clarification on points you were uncertain about. These comments go for Model S and X; there are some slight differences with Model 3 since the AP and drive selector stalks are merged. 2. Climate control maps

It's not supposed to be fair. Interview questions are designed to differentiate candidates as quickly and broadly as possible. This is one where the notional goal of completing the project is different than the true goal of seeing how

This part of the regs have nothing to do with encryption. This is the so called "documented protocol" requirement. §97.113(4) is the relevant main rule that would govern encryption. There are various exceptions to this through the

It's pretty dry but you are welcome to read Part 97 R&R https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2009-title47-vol5/pd... The legal definition prohibiting encryption is in §97.113(4) and says that &quo

Nginx does a lot of things today that the erstwhile notion of a 'web server' would never have been tasked to to. So depending on what you are doing, varnish, lighttpd, apache, or haproxy (and likely more) might be used alone or in

For actual enterprise users you probably have a distribution profile set up and are pushing them out anyway. For outside users, they would selectively install the cert for the app they use one by one. Anyway it still strikes me as poor oper

OK I did not understand they only issued one cert. Still, with a company the size of Google you'd still think they would have multiple certs under different legal entities even if they werent doing anything wrong.

What I want to know is why these companies are using the same cert to sign apps with widely differing uses and security profiles. It seems to me that they should have a number of enterprise signing certs for each use case such as internal b

Using computers to beat masses of the general public at horseracing in this fashion has been going on for well over 30 years. I first read articles about the gambling teams and data scientists behind them in Hong Kong in the mid 90's.
