It was Aliens. They were out there raking the sand making it all smooth.

When you feed it a giant cesspool of invalidated data (The internet) you should not expect a single response to be accurate. none of these AI's are fed a carefully curated data set.

But companies are expecting to replace all their programmers with AI.... What could possibly go wrong?

Meh. It's not used anymore now.

"We must do something!" != "Here is something, so we must do it!"

I've not seen many people complaining about the idea of having crypto regulations or taxes in general. (I'm sure there are some, but I'm not one of them.)

The problem is the specific wording of the bill contains provisions that are LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to comply with. If you run a validator node and see a transaction over $600 you're required to send the recipient a 1099-MISC tax form. How the hell do I send a 1099-MISC form to "1zbqxd5g71234"? That would make it illegal for anyone in the US to run a validator node since they'd be unable to comply with that provision. There were bipartisan approved amendments to fix that wording, but Senator Shelby killed the amendment by trying to stick a $50b military contractor pork rider into it.

Just because some idiot congressperson says "this is common sense legislation!" doesn't mean it is common sense.

Because my friends are on Xbox and if I want to play with them I have to own one. Games like Halo and Division 2 PC players decimate Console players because the mouse and keyboard is a massive advantage so you cant have them all in the same servers.

And this boom generation shall be dubbed the Coronials.

Honestly anyone with any security education did not trust any drive built in encryption.

NO! Crowdfunding is NOT an investment! An investment gets you an ownership share of the thing you're investing in, which could go down in value, maybe even to zero, but it could also go up. It also gives you at least some say in how the money is used, even if only a fraction of a vote. With crowdfunding, you'll never get the 'up' -- the company could walk away with billions but you don't get any piece of that, and you get no say in how your money gets used.

Crowdfunding is more like buying raffle tickets from a charity. You may walk away with nothing more than the satisfaction of helping a cause you believed in. If you're lucky, you might walk away with something worth a bit more than you put into it, but probably not by a lot.

It's completely different. A 4K HDR Netflix stream might be efficiently encoded at 10-15Mbps, but a realtime low latency gaming stream would need 50-100Mbps to get similar quality.

Efficiently compressing VOD is done by making multiple passes through the file, using information from earlier and later frames (up to +/- 30 seconds) to find redundancies that can be coded, using the results of prior passes to find segments of video that can be encoded with fewer bits without noticeable quality loss or which need more bits to look good, and using CPU/GPU intensive compression algorithms which can operate slower than real time. It makes sense to make every effort to save every bit when the video only needs to be encoded once but the output will need to be uploaded millions of times.

Live streaming video is tougher - You can't make multiple passes through the file but usually you can tolerate some delay, often anywhere from 5 - 30 seconds, so you can still use later frames to find redundancies. You have 1 producer streaming to an audience, so there's only one stream that needs to be compressed to serve many end users, and it makes sense to throw a lot of power into that compression since multiple viewers can benefit from the results.

Real time gaming, on the other hand, means you need an encoder for every user. That practically requires using less intensive and less efficient encoders, and thus more bits are needed to encode the same quality. Games tend to have a lot of small details such as text labels, so you can't drop the quality too much. And the stream has to be encoded with extremely low latency, which means you can't look at any later frames to find redundancies, you can only look at a few past frames.

Think of it like herd immunity for vaccines. As much as I love the internet, it broke through all of the barriers that used to protect us from the spread fake news, and society hasn't yet figured out how to fix it.

There have always been lots of crazy people spread throughout society, but before the internet, your social interactions were limited to your local community groups. If you didn't want to be ostracized, you had to at least pretend to blend in with local norms. Your choice of media were limited to things like TV, radio, and newspapers which had to appeal to a geographic market rather than a particular bias or viewpoint. These factors acted like herd immunity, protecting these vulnerable crazy people and helping to contain fake news before it could spread.

Enter the internet. Every crazy and/or dishonest person can now make a direct connection with millions of vulnerable people without geographic, political, or financial barriers. Media outlets can now specialize in highly tailored viewpoints without any consideration for geographic appeal, and have to constantly out-extreme each other to maintain a shrinking slice of viewers. Instead of local social groups helping to contain the spread of misinformation, we now have a positive re-enforcement cycle: the bolder and crazier your fake news, the bigger your audience of gullible people eager to consume more and more outlandish ideas, and the faster it spreads. It's like a virus spreading rapidly through a population that lacks natural immunity.

Linked in and Facebook apps are complete crap written by no talent hacks. When the Mobile version of the site is significantly faster and has a better UI than your app? you fire your entire app developer team and hire some that understand efficient and fast.

Every person that has had this happen has been brown. It's just an excuse to be more racist at the airports.
Let's also ignore the fact that monday all of Orlando International skipped the security checks dod not have to take laptop out of the bag, dont remove shoes or coat, just walk through.

Airport security is theater and an attempt to be racist to those that are not white.

Then they can afford buying a mobile hotspot with 60gb of data on it. If they are well known then $1KUS per month is chump change to them.

Yes it is only for a shoulder surfer. honestly if you want people to use complex passwords you have to show them the freaking string as they type
ASDq3fwtevybtynsR&56@%^25tqer7gRT*Ubt&tferyweF
for their password
