Yes and they even use quantifiable things like revenue per engineer, it’s palliative right?

Largely archaeological finds that yield tons of forensic evidence. Plus there are actually plenty of written records that have survived, albeit with major gaps. The Akkadians wrote on stone tablets, thousands of which have survived. Mostly they are banal transaction records (which still tell us a lot!) but there are many others, including some court records from ancient Egypt and elsewhere.

Bad people can phone in anonymous threats. or send postal mail. This is not a new problem, no need to drop privacy rights.

oh crap

Uh, Convoy is on the list.

Maybe filter out the bankrupt ones?

lol great question to ask on HN, notoriously dearth of any sense of humor. Maybe Betteridge’s Law applies in this fora, the answer is simply “nothing is funny, here’s your downvote now go away”

According to Shaquille [1], it’s still an unsolved problem.

I suppose “Rich kid accidentally kills self with expensive toy” wouldn’t quite hit the front page.

And I’m simply shocked, shocked that the rich lawyer power couple is seeking to absolve themselves of their culpability through a lawsuit.

Sorry I’m not going to argue basic economics. If that’s too obtuse that tells me all I need to know. Good luck.

the debasement was specifically so they could “print their way out of debt” — the effect is the same as with a fiat currency, “more dollars chasing the same quantity of goods” is a somewhat canonical definition of inflation and applies in both situations.

huh? emperors regularly debased the currency; that’s inflation by another name. same effect

Let’s trade: I’ll take your aversion to snake oil salesmen, and you can have my cancer. Deal?

I had a bag of salad croutons that measured a serving as “2 Tablespoons” — are they expecting me to crush the croutons to measure a serving? Or just “eyeball” it to convert rectangular things into hemispherical things?

I had difficulty using Bun with Verdaccio, a private/local npm repository.

I know it’s possible to get it to work, but I didn’t have time to fiddle all the bits.

If Bun made this easier, I’d switch from pnpm immediately.

If you’re going for guaranteed repeatable builds (for example you’re using Bazel) then you have no choice. Dependencies must have a single resolution.

Can you not split the 10k files into modules for incremental/parallel compilation?

try librivox.org, decent public domain coverage.

“There is a tension between utility for anti-fraud use cases requiring deterministic verdicts and high coverage, and the risk of websites using this functionality to exclude specific attesters or non-attestable browsers. We look forward to discussion on this topic, and acknowledge the significant value-add even in the case where verdicts are not deterministically available (e.g. holdouts).”

See, don’t worry, they’re thinking about you, holdout.

It’ll still output LLVM bitcode, but it won’t depend on LLVM libs anymore

well there was that time [0] Rudy Giuliani wore them like a space-alien, that was kind of funny.

Your first claim is provably wrong; look at the license for MySQL as an example of a dual license where the licensee chooses which terms to follow based on their usage.

Redistribution is unlimited for all non-commercial use. This has been through legal review.

If you’re still confused, please contact me directly and I’ll be happy to answer any other questions.

Plenty of FOSS is dual licensed, this really isn’t as hard or complicated as some are making it out to be.

If you discovered a new way to make a secure locking cabinet, and then found out that bad people would lock bad things in the cabinet, you’d stop working on the cabinet?

OK then, that’s entirely your choice. Just don’t forget you started working on this cabinet for your own legitimate use, and there are many more people who share your same legitimate problem, but who can’t write software, and they will be SOL.

I actually did try hosting the raw videos first. Playback is kind of terrible when the source bitrate is >20MB/s. You really need adaptive-bitrate streaming.

Thankfully ffmpeg support for DASH and HLS is very good. It’s not hard to transcode, this does all the right incantations. It can take a lot of CPU/time, but it’s a one-time thing.

I’m not considering a native app for this, but the mobile web experience should be excellent.

This uses video.js which wraps <video> and adds a lot more goodies.

Use the AGPL. I promise not to sue any individual person or non-profit org.

And you’re right, for-profit companies should either stay away for safety or contact me for terms.

I like S3/B2 because the vendor only ever sees encrypted bytes. All decryption/plaintext is on the device. YouTube does not get you there. In fact their entire model is predicated on watching your every move.

As far as Peertube, I don't know enough about it. If I put a massive-bitrate video in some weird format on it, and then try playback on a crappy phone, will it work? If I go through a short tunnel, will it buffer or degrade quality gracefully? I don't want to worry about it.

Thank you! My mistake, updated. cheers! :)

PS-- I also wanted my docs in any language, but also that anyone else could translate their app/docs easily, so I made this other thing[1], which is why these docs are available in so many languages

My mom digitized many many old family videos, and wanted them online for sharing with family (including elderly & not-super-tech-savvy relatives). She asked me “should I just upload them all to a YouTube channel?”

Thankfully it was a phone call so my mom didn’t see my aghast expression. I prefer that big tech not index this stuff! Better to keep “in the family”

Seriously why does big tech deserve this free & super-private window into me & my ancestors lives?

So I wrote something[1] where:

* it’s fully free & open source

* cloud native

* plays on any device, any bandwidth, even if shitty

* yes my 90+yo Aunt Loretta (w00t to you Aunt Lo!) can use it on her phone & computer

* all data can be always encrypted, both source videos and derived/optimized assets

* and there’s more. please have fun

Basically point it at a source bucket on S3 or B2, and get your own private YouTube.

What I’ve built is very limited in functionality atm, but I believe the foundation is solid and plan to extend media support to photos and audio.

This can be a nice alternative to Plex/Google Photos/YT/etc.

It’s for when you don’t care about “building an audience” and in fact prefer that big tech can only see encrypted bytes from you.

Try it out and lmk!
