Considering the community, I think catting 156 GB to grep and calling it fastWikiLookup is a subtle joke about how absurd this is.

OMG, your real name isn’t really Ovo647??

For broadcast television, especially over the air, there’s no additional load on the provider side for broadcasting to 1 or 1 million people. The TV consumers never have to communicate back to the broadcaster, and this is very efficient from a bandwidth perspective. It’s somewhat similar for cable in most provider situations, the video is broadcast over a wire rather than over the air.

With streaming, each stream has to negotiate with a server to access the stream and the server serves the content to that consumer. This scales as there are more consumers, and the load on the provider increases. Caching layers and CDNs exist to distribute this load, and that is expensive. This is why streaming providers have a “Are you still watching” prompt if they think you’ve stopped watching, since it costs lots to serve the content.

Lots of people have a crazy MAGA parent / sibling / cousin, etc they vehemently disagree with and wish would realize their relative is aligned with the baddies. Judging and targeting innocent people for the actions of someone else is pretty disgusting, even if it would show ICE officers the damage they’re causing in America.

huh, really?? this post and the original is showing in !privacy@lemmy.ml for me, and going there, I see two posts with the same link:

I don’t see this post in !privacy@lemmy.world at all, even when checking on lemmy.world directly. I don’t think this is a federation issue.

I’ve never seen any interview as invasive as this, but i think simple take home assignments are useful to weed out people who don’t have basic skills for the role, can’t read instructions clearly, and/or don’t care enough for the role. It avoids me spending 30 minutes to an hour interviewing them to just reject them.

The roles i interview for are mid level devops based, and we’ve found that the best way to do this is to provide the candidate a simple git repo with 2 branches, which can’t be merged due to a merge conflict of two text files; no coding required. Just asking the candidate to resolve the merge conflict and write a README with the steps taken is enough to have more than half of the candidates unable to complete the task. If we interviewed all those candidates first, and then had to reject them, it would probably be 1 full working day per month in aggregate that would be utterly wasted.

Am I missing something but this isn’t cross posted from another community, right? the original post was in this community, !privacy@lemmy.ml, so why repost if it’s less than 12 hours later in the same community?

It should also be binding that if you declare that your assets are worth a certain value, the government has the option to buy the asset at that value, to avoid people under representing their net worth for unrealized gains.

Just watch out, some phone providers will disconnect you after a few hours on a call. During the pandemic when there were a lot of people unemployed and there were long waits for unemployment insurance offices, there were stories of people waiting on hold for 6 hours or more, and then getting disconnected, losing their place in line.

They are often also recording/transcribing the conversation when they put you on hold as well, and summarizing the call for the agent based on the transcript. When my ISP raises internet prices, I always have to call them to get the increase reversed. When I’m waiting on hold, i pretend to talk to my partner saying what my desired price is and that i’ll call a competitor afterwards if they can’t match so that gets summarized for the agent.

Love the old animation style in this scene. This is a good breakdown of the differences compared to the modern animation

DENTAL PLAN

I don’t think he does any podcasts anymore. He stepped away from Cortex about 6 months ago, and Hello Internet has been gone for years now. Agreed with maintaining upload quality and sacrificing frequency, which had been the status quo for years, but i’m afraid the channel is more abandoned now.

This is awesome. In the off chance i had downloaded a ROM from your site back then, thank you so much.

Not sure when the sale happened, but there was a recent video about the invention of the Blue LED from the past year which was really good, highly recommended. To me click bait implies the contents are not worth the headline / title / thumbnail, but old Veritasium and recent have kept up mostly the same level of quality IMO. I will say updating old video titles and thumbnails to juice the numbers was annoying, but the optimist in me figured that at least people who had not previously experienced old Veritasium got it recommended to them which is a positive.

Well this is why i wish he would put out more videos, to see his reflection of this almost 10 years later knowing what we know now that self driving cars are here, and not stuff that was in highly controlled environments. To me, Grey always seemed like someone who trusts computers more than people, so maybe he’d still hold the same stance, but i would be interested in hearing his thoughts rather than dismissing him because of something he said 10 years ago which hasn’t come true. I also vaguely remember hearing in one of his podcasts that he had gotten into a really bad car accident and actually didn’t drive for many years after that, so I’d imagine some of his admiration with self driving cars at the time was focused on them reporting being safer than human drivers. Who knows, but I for sure would like to see a 2026 version of the end of that video about solving traffic from him.
