I like https://shotcutapp.com/... It's free and open source, has good Linux support and all the features I need, and uses ffmpeg under the hood.

  lsof -i

Works on GNU/Linux and should also work on macOS.

macOS is based upon XNU, which was based upon the Mach kernel (with bits of BSD userspace), not Linux.

Ok, here we go:

In section 6.E. of the YouTube ToS (https://m.youtube.com/static?template=terms), they say you cannot submit content contrary to the Community Guidelines.

On this page (https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2801964?hl=en) of the Community Guidelines they say you may not post “Instructional hacking and phishing [content]: Showing users how to bypass secure computer systems or steal user credentials and personal data.”

Interpret that how you will. It seems broad enough to include academic/security work.

Looks very cool. You have a typo in the pricing area of the page: it says "Sart Free Trial" instead of "Start Free Trial".

This is not entirely true. You can export all data from Slack, including data that’s normally hidden because you’re on the free plan.

It’s amazing how so many issues that are nominally caused by human error are actually the result of bad design.

Are you aware of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)? It was passed in 1998, and this article specifically says that they believe Amazon is in violation of it.

This should probably have [video] in the title.

Also great to see some Tom Scott on here! This is just one of many videos in the “Built for Science” series.

Part of the argument for UBI is that with increasing automation it doesn't make sense to force everyone into a job anymore. If you buy into that then not working and doing what you want (e.g. video games) is actually how the system is intended to function. Obviously, that argument only makes sense if you believe that we can automate away a sufficient number of jobs.

I may be mistaken about their revenue model, but I think it’s actually costing them money because they bought the company behind Pocket and they don’t seem to monetize the feature in any way.

I don’t think that will get you a competition livestream. Most competitions this week haven’t started yet (they’re usually ~Fri-Sun). The game changes every year, but here’s a sample match from last year: https://youtu.be/jYjztOCT79M

The FIRST Robotics Competition is really cool (it turned 30 yesterday!), and if you like the look of it you should consider checking out or even mentoring a nearby team. They exist in many US high schools, and in some other countries as well.

I think GP isn't trying to say that antibacterial soap should be illegal because it's harmful to humans, but that it should be illegal because it creates resistant bacteria.

It uses xbps!

    $ venv/bin/xbps-install -Sy libreoffice xorg-fonts # you can imagine that as kind of like a chrooted void linux

I wonder how easy this is to do with other package managers? Is this a feature specific to xbps?

govet catches (all?) mutex copies, by the way. Static analysis is cool.

I love the iOS app, but things like this concern me (not quite a dealbreaker though): https://github.com/mssun/passforios/issues/223

Very impressive! It has some issues with uncommon hats though (which isn't too surprising):

I don't think the article says that machine learning will solve everything... It's just talking about a new product in this space that uses machine learning.

> Then came the 1970s and the drug war. “Oh my goodness, now I have a business,” he thought.

This guy is pretty interesting (and it's disappointing that he didn't do something more constructive with his skills), but this quote stood out the most to me. If you start limiting supply but not curtailing demand (e.g. a drug war), it makes it a lot more profitable to sell. And all that money makes it a lot easier for the sellers to become big and organized and dangerous.

I'm sure it's not that simple, but it really makes me wonder what would happen with widespread legalization.

I would just add that Mozilla also targets security critical portions with Rust rewrites. You don't necessarily need 100% Rust to be secure (if you have the right security model).

Interestingly, my numbers are completely different relative to each other when compared with yours... I wonder how the number of runs is determined and if this affects the results.

  Benchmarking, the higher ops/sec the better.
  Firefox 63.0 on Fedora 64-bit.
  
  Test 100 needles against 16 dictionaries of hostnames

    -               Regex-based x 4,078 ops/sec ±0.88% (25 runs sampled)
    -      Trie-based (1st-gen) x 10,038 ops/sec ±1.41% (64 runs sampled)
    -   Trie-based JS (2nd-gen) x 7,258 ops/sec ±1.03% (40 runs sampled)
    - Trie-based WASM (2nd-gen) x 8,033 ops/sec ±1.08% (44 runs sampled)
  Done.

I think GP is referring to this: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2016/12/comcast-s...

Comcast's behavior isn't exactly malicious right now, but it could be pretty easily.

I have often wondered how a hypothetical alien would perceive our computer systems... It's wonderful to see someone has thought about it too (and they made it fun to read about!)

This is a good starting point on all of this (with links to criticism): https://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=5927

Has this gone anywhere since 2013?

The most interesting part of this is their use of user data. Traditionally, it seems like there isn't a great way to judge demand for a restaurant until you open it, so it makes sense that user tracking (to gauge interest) and the ability to operate out of an already profitable space (reduced upfront cost) gives establishments a significant advantage (although the article doesn't exactly comment on number of failed online restaurants, so selection bias cannot be ruled out.) I wonder how competitors like GrubHub use data to gauge interest...
