Why digital keychains (password managers) can in some cases be unsafe.

The most common hack and/or cyber security threat in the world.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. I just finished a COBOL contract for a FOREX broker like 3 weeks ago so that inspired this video. It's a really cool niche actually.

A YouTube video explaining my thoughts on what languages pay the most and least.

I really want to see the lockpicking lawyer pick that lock now, darn...

Of course, there are no absolutes. But how common are projects like that? Exceedingly rare in my experience. The great majority of projects (especially web and tech) are no longer profitable or decreasing majorly by the time of sell. That's been my personal experience from extensive study and searching for profitable projects for sale. But one could always get lucky I suppose.

Every time I tried to do anything useful, it crashed, though that could have to do with my high bitrate 4k footage origin. While attempting to use some tools I noticed the quality of the footage was degraded around the actual pixels where masks normally would be. I really just don't think tools like this are ready for mainstream professional use, but that's just my opinion. I still LOVE the idea though, and I hope this company keeps developing it, could be great one day. I HATE working with web-based tools though, wish they just produced a proper application.

No. The IDEA and what they're proposing it can do is incredible, not the actual product. As far as I can tell it doesn't really work that well, and that's me being generous. It has a LONG way to go, and a massive amount of development before it's anywhere near ready for real production. In about a decade tools like this will be practical and ready using A.I. Right now we just aren't there yet.

The idea is a bit different. Filming clones usually requires leaving the camera "still" without moving it, then you re-film the same scene and same position multiple times so you can drop the backdrop very easily using very basic cutting or masking.

This is different though. No cutting or masking, the actual A.I. itself is doing it automatically. No filming the same takes with the same camera position 3 times in a row then doing tedious editing that takes hours.

I have my doubts as to how well it would work... But assuming it did then it's a real game-changer in the editing world because it could not only save a ton of time, but actually produce new abilities, like cloning with object crossover, and while the camera is moving around erratically.

If somebody is selling something it's because it's not making them money, and that's the end of it. Nobody would sell you a project for 5k that's generating 1k per month. People sell when either the writing is on the wall, or they can't finish the project and don't care anymore. Just expect that.

Absolutely true. You need to finish everything you start (within reason), because starting new projects then quitting becomes akin to an addiction. Don't develop bad habits, start only projects you know you can finish and see them through to the end if you want to be successful.

The VAST majority of mask wearing I have seen in California has been average cloth-covers. I have only seen a handful of people out of thousands actually wearing N95 masks, so perhaps N95 is highly effective at stopping viruses, but I see basically nobody wearing that. Stores, offices, buildings, all are completely fine with you wearing a bandana over your face. There is effectively no point in even mandating mask laws unless you actually mandate the TYPE of mask that must be used. The coffee filters people are wearing over their face will do close to nothing, if not even make everything worse for their own personal health (lung issues, bacterial infections, etc.)

You're comparing a continent with a country. A person in Canada has very little in common with those in Mexico and/or Panama, etc. The same could be said about most continents.

This guys writings are consistently some of the best in the world. His web design mixed with the articulate easy to understand vocabulary, and fantastic easy-to-understand motion illustrations are absolutely the finest I've ever seen.

It could be your sight, or the size of your display. You never mentioned how big it was. If it's a monster 18" laptop then the difference between 1080 and 4k is a lot more significant than if it's a 14" display where you almost can't even tell the difference. It's all about pixels per inch. I always prefer higher quality pixels as opposed to more of them, I don't mind 1080p if it's extremely accurate colour and amazing viewing angles, but that's just me.

Ever try using Blender without one? You absolutely need the numpad for 3D programs and game engines, otherwise it's outright painful.

More people are leaving California currently than coming to it. Perhaps that isn't a biblical level exodus quite yet, but it's coming with time. Just be patient. Rome didn't fall in a day.

I'm staggered people didn't know this was a thing, anybody surprised must have their eyes closed or possibly be naive. It was obvious years ago, not just Amazon either... But most retailers. Most of what you see in life is fake and/or a scam, sad but true. Use your mind and stay away from scam products.

I'd wait a few generations to be honest, Mac laptops have become notoriously faulty in recent years. They're not the bulletproof machines they once were, and tend to have a lot of engineering flaws (flex cable and display issues especially). The M1 seems okay so far as it's an iteration of the previous gen, but they did make a lot of changes as well. I'd hold out for a later version.

Unfortunately it's down and doesn't work.

The issue with Facebook you see is that they (along with most huge tech corps) have become this weird amalgamation between fascist and communist. They're a private company that controls WAY too many assets, with way too much unregulated/unchecked power. They want equality for all, but yet they're willing to suppress every man's voice in order for their own mission, whatever that is. Their agenda ranges from personal freedom and free speech suppression to political campaigning; and far beyond the reach of both of those. When a company gets too big and consolidates too much power for themselves their own absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Facebook here has the power to regulate their own version(s) of the markets due to personal fear that their stock will be affected by the every man's voice and opinion. They fear being oppressed by the people, so they oppress the people's ability to have any control over them. For a publicly traded company this is insane, and it shows how fake everything really is behind the scenes. Only a few out there are truly allowed to trade on good information and swing markets their way.

Break up big tech.

Agreed.

Same here. I run a small game company in San Francisco, and we constantly are donating to help fund projects like Blender and Godot because they're amazing projects that deserve funding to keep them afloat.

But would I invest in an open source company? Eh, that's a different story. I love them for what they are, it's amazing they exist, but I don't see them as an investment that pays you back dividends. Rather, I see them as a useful tool you can make money with and is worthy of your donations.

Still better than it floating around aimlessly and killing animals who intake it into their body. It works as nature's filter, and I say plant more. It's a band-aid, and not the best solution of all time, but it's better than absolutely nothing... For now.

Technically gold isn't impossible to manufacture as there are scientists and labs fully capable of making it, but it costs more energy to make than its value... For now... Let's remember that episode of the Twilight Zone when the gold thief goes into the future only to find out gold is manufactured and worthless.

Gold lasts forever, it doesn't tarnish, rust, or corrode, that much is true. But it still could be stolen, or potentially damaged (like a big house fire). I suppose bitcoin could be stolen or lost as well though, but as it's not actually physical it should be easier to protect.

Gold is beautiful so that's an excellent point as well. It can be turned into jewelry and such.

Bitcoin isn't really the opposite though in every regard. It may not be physical but it's very difficult to "mine" and it gets harder every year. Plus there will come a day when it can no longer be mined at all, making it even more rare than gold, and impossible to produce more of.

This was actually an incredibly incompetent post that misunderstands WHAT Bitcoin actually is, while at the same time spewing word salad to make it sound like a well-researched opinion.
