kalden_on Dear Google, Apple, Mozilla, and MS: Please End Auto-Playing Media in Browsers

> actually makes for a better experience to download and then view them.

Can you specify how? I was doing this when I didn't have enough RAM for the Youtube player with latest Firefox and it's not what I personally felt. The current player has size options (larger or full-screen), annotations and comments can be disabled (e.g. with Adblock lists). In the end it's always having the video canvas in front of your eyes. Maybe integration with a tiling WM?

> I'd imagine it could even be automated trivially, by calling youtube-dl via a browser plugin, or by writing a script to pass YouTube URLs to with a simple GUI thrown together in FLTK or TCL/TK.

Existing means for VLC integration aren't that bad either.

Where the time goes is the TLS handshake, which is not here when loading cleartext Google.

It seemed to me that some Xeons had those since 2014. See https://software.intel.com/en-us/isa-extensions/intel-sha

Should something be understood instead?

Already the case on the French wiki (and it was on the top of the article for a long time). https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mise_en_abyme.jpg?us...

kalden_on 42 comes to Silicon Valley: free, non profit coding university

I can. It may be relevant to mention there must be a couple of cultural differences on this point. I think most people in France may have never heard about the word "ageism", from the moment they're not in some social justice circles. Employment discrimination is a public sphere topic but it is much more about immigrants and women. Also, the tech labor market in SF bay area may display way different variables compared to Paris (as may the educational system).

Here is all what the director seems to have said about the age limit (that is the same in the French school):

"I noticed in the past that we should not encourage too much age difference because it's harder then to form groups that work." (http://www.clubic.com/pro/emploi-informatique.clubic.com/act...)

"42 indeed focuses first on the 18-30. We think about other people with care, but we already initially have much to do." (http://www.vousnousils.fr/2013/04/12/nicolas-sadirac-l%E2%80...)
