That's good that it's becoming more widely known. However, it's hell becoming certified through all the post-graduate tests and becoming an official Actuary who can sign off on things.

LOL. My wife (actuary on pension plans) LOOOOVED this part of the movie. She perked up from her game of Candy Crush and was so excited that her job field was even mentioned in a movie and was put in a positive/desired light towards kids.She mentions it all the time when this movie comes up.

Just to be clear, you're leaving room for "fat people hate" because people aren't born fat. That is something they become because of a chosen lifestyle/diet.

Personally, i don't think harassment is acceptable of anyone...even if they're a-holes. Denounce bad actions/speech by people if you feel it's bad. That should be where it stops. Making their life a miserable hell beyond those actions/speech is where i draw the line.

Right now? It's not practical. But they haven't optimized the encoders, and there isn't any silicon developed for it yet.

It's like trying to play some intense video game without a dedicated video card and using software to generate the scenes using un-optimized code. You're going to have a bad time.

Give it a couple years until the hardware is out there, and we'll see where we're at.

I don't think you understand the support behind AV1 vs x265. Only Apple is going to implement x265 in browser. The others, no. They ALL will implement AV1 in the browser. Netflix will be AV1. YouTube will be AV1. Facebook will be AV1. Amazon Video will be AV1.

The licensing around x265 is a complete disaster. Just about every major media company is going to steer clear away from them where possible. This is a completely different scenario than x264 vs the lesser known media formats.

Bottom line is the difference is support/backing. And it's vastly in favor of AV1.

Damn, give it some time. It was just released. When looking at things like this, you have to look at the backing and support it gets.

Give it a year or so, and see where we're at. This codec is here to stay, and while the encoding speeds are slow now, it has an enormous backing to win in the end.

Are you just a troll or a fanboy, because you've obviously never looked at internet usage statistics. On desktop, Firefox, IE/Edge, and Safari make up 35% of usage. On mobile, Safari makes up 30% of usage. Those are significant numbers.

Isn't that basically what James Damore got fired for?

How much do you pay in patent fees?

Not all laptops come with nVidia GPUs. There are WAY more sold with integrated Intel Graphics than there are with nVidia.

The "gun" in this case, was nude photos. They refused to "drop" those nude photos and were basically saying "make me. otherwise we'll do what we want" and publish other people's nudes too.

So the judge said "Ok..." *bam*

Why do the *verbal* comments requite *showing* a sex type. They could either cut out the audio portion, or simply transcribe them. If Gawker were a TV show, they could figure out how to cover the story without breaking FCC rules. Surely they could figure this out. They were multi-million dollar company.

I hated most of the people that worked there. They were all a bunch of pricks that were full of themselves. And their attitudes were fueled by poor leadership at the top. I'm all for a news organization that gets into the muck of news scandals, but they need to be smart about it, and they need to be run like a professional news organization. And not a blog of writers with teenage quality smarmy writing.

Opus is also in there as the audio portion.

I didn't really mind wearing glasses, but the kicker was paying an extra $2-$3 for the "3D" part of the movie. Screw THAT part of the deal.

Honestly, they're so big that they'll likely just set up off-shore programming centers in India and not worry about the H1-B visa program. I really don't think it'll affect the corporations TOO much. It will affect the smaller/mid size IT groups that aren't prepared to deal with the hassle of off-shore.
