I thought I read a few months ago that Intel still does well in the video editing space (especially with 4k), because their chips have onboard decoding hardware. Is this still true?

I wouldn't oppose intentionally restructuring or regulating any of these industries. That is not what we were talking about, however. We were talking about simply letting those businesses fail, and seeing what happens on the other si

There are degrees to which tools are useful for committing crimes, and it's naive to pretend otherwise. Encryption is obviously an incredibly useful tool for committing a number of crimes, and I think it's better to argue that it&

This article is good, but to go a bit deeper, it seems like part of the problem is ultimately capitalism or the commercial nature of the modern internet. As long as there are these incredible incentives to game the system, people are going

We used to use BlueJeans where I worked, and the UX was awful compared to zoom. Just bog standard baffling stuff you expect from a video conferencing app, which Zoom finally got away from.

FWIW, in the summer time you can usually get great tomatoes at farmers markets and produce stands. Though I haven't grown my own yet, so I can't compare.

This comment is spot on. The few times I brought up open offices (which I don't like) with my coworkers, most of them favored them. They liked being able to easily have a brief chat with someone, and generally having a more social feel

Is this true? I thought the hot spots in the US locked down earlier (in terms of case counts/deaths) than other countries. But I haven't looked into it very much.

Immigration status has absolutely nothing to do with it. There are undocumented immigrants who can afford it, and undocumented immigrants who cannot. The relevant factor is someone's financial position, not their immigration status.
