Youtube mostly uses vp9 these days (I think it might fallback to h264 depending on the device?) You can confirm this by loading a video, right clicking somewhere in the player and opening 'stats for nerds'

Assange only fits the caricature of the description, but that's for another thread. In brief though, he can not be a traitor because he is not American and never worked for the American government. The most traitorous party in the Assa

The podcast makes the suggestion that encryption doesn't have to be universal. If most communication were through unencrypted channels then policing would be easier, and the use of an encrypted channel would still be possible for criti

I normally enjoy Sam but found that episode was voiced more by his inner parent than his usual hyper-rational self. Child porn is a scourge that should be destroyed but there was minimal discussion of the following that I would normally exp

Pensions are earned when the work is done. They are paid in the future. It's easy to imagine a pension scheme that overpays to the point where the work becomes uneconomical but because the costs are delayed and/or borne by someone

Containers are very lightweight compared to a vm, but each FAAS container is required to run its own instance of v8. This implies some start up time (tens of ms?) and some memory use (10's of mb?). My understanding of isolates is they

If they put moderate resources into it I'm sure they could come up with something fairly predictive. For example this paper [1] finds a significant, but weak correlation between height and violent criminality. Genetic influences on hei

I am not an expect, but it seems like DNA is responsible for around 50% of the personality variance between individuals. Note that the variance within groups is an order of magnitude bigger than the variance across groups, so there aren&#x2

> company can get X units of value at a discount by hiring the person with the lower cost of living at a lower salary. So the hiring process should favour low salaries rather than cost of living? If that is the case then you can easily r

I struggle to see the mental leap many are making here. Are you stating that cost of living impacts your skill level? In some cases that may be true but I think for what most are discussing here the causation would be the other way. Growing

It's an interesting question. To rephrase, I think the market is undersupplied with new construction skewed towards lower quality apartments. This would suggest that high quality apartments would be extra valuable. I have less experien

From my observational experience, and limited study on the issue, markets don't seem to be solving this optimally, at least in Melbourne, Australia. Overall, the market for apartments seems to be supply constrained. The main factors: 1

What's interesting is, many of the same people who criticize the leaks for hurting Hillary's chances would also applaud the leaks for demonstrating DNC bias against Bernie.

Major cinema chains in Australia went one step further and would actively block your payment from going through if they detected you were using a moviepass like product. After becoming frustrated with my payments being rejected I reached ou

I think he's talking about the difference between correlation and causation. You're right though in that from a law enforcement POV the two look roughly the same.

The worst thing about other people's SUVs is they obstruct your vision. I suspect there's an arms race going on with more and more people picking up SUVs to see around other cars.

In the mining example I gave it's probably more clear cut than the SV case. A whole heap of people are working high wage jobs in essentially the middle of nowhere. The local towns don't have the capacity to replace many lost jobs

You are forgoing the tax revenue that would've been earned by the workers as well as any benefits that they claim. In Australia it was estimated that each auto job produces 6 other jobs through network effects [1]. All up that number w

To be more clear; The lack of diversification in employment makes the residents as a whole more vulnerable to the next sector based bust (see dotcom crash). If there is a larger supply of housing then more properties will be put on the mark

Are the policies bone headed? I'm not American so may not have this perfectly right but the Detroit of the past seems to be a good analogue to SV. Lots of well paid jobs in a single industry. When the eventual downturn occurs you don&#

Why is he a bad actor? Why should he be treated differently from other whistleblowers. AFAIK his leaks have had many good outcomes. I think there was a case or two where sensitive information could've been vetted better but to me he de
