I am curious, why would anyone pick HLS over Dash in these days?

Granted, my knowledge on the matter is rather limited, but I had some long running streams (weeks) and with HLS the playlist became quite large while with dash, the mpd was as small as it gets.

Some sort of worker mobility has been decided, there's going to be quotas I imagine.

I do not see a free flow of people happening, it would be viewed very negatively in Australia.

But mostly downside

My reading is they are _announcing_ the job cuts to keep the stock from tumbling.

I don't think any AI productivity gains are involved.

What is the Java equivalent of Django?

I really love django and everything around it, but I would also like to write a webapp in Java.

Getting django + rest_framework up and running and actually be productive takes me max 10 minutes, trying to do the same with spring boot I am a week in and I had to open the jakarta specs to understand the magic.

> Interesting how many people in a hacker forum seem to be so pro-establishment

Here's my perspective:

1) Coastal liberal inner city males with a tech flair and an interest in Apple, have decided that due to lack of social skills and/or inner circle it would be good to keep themselves busy with creating a business. Actually, business is a Republican term, let's call it a startup, - hold that rainbow flag for me will you -.

2) They start to realize, that startups operate in an environment with rules, their "business plan" eventually bumps into those rules. Those rules are what made their piece of land - commonly called a country - a nice place to live.

3) Meanwhile, various interests parade on "news" outlets telling the constituents that "rules bad for business, business made us great, everything else tried has failed".

4) Deregulation is the pill, libertarianism/freedom/liberty talk is the bacon wrapped around it

5) The city male realizes that he has more in common with the bigshot businessman that he thought, its only a few billions that set them apart

6) Furthermore, it has been accepted as an axiom that anyone can make it in US (immigrant went from poor being rich feelgood story on cnbc anyone?)

Business establishment is legitimate power in the US, also they are not being pro-establishment, they are being pro let-me-do-this-thats-the-only-thing-i-have-going-for-me

Also, let's ditch the terms good/evil. They are straight up juvenile.

I feel like your take is what an Apple PR person might say in order to downplay Apple's defeat.

> If we take "Israel" out of the equation

No, I don't think I will.

Since when is talking about Israel controversial?

> I feel like this kind of discussion hinges on a misguided belief that farmers are not very smart businessmen.

I feel like assuming that the farmers are competent businessmen capable of understanding the ups and downs of GMOs is in disagreement with reality and mostly used to drive "free marketeering / deregulation" agendas.

The West has not been trying to protect their market? What do you thing those wars have been all about?

Freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

> current gen console aren't enough to deliver smooth immersive graphics

The Last of Us franchise, especially part 2 have been the most immersive experiences that I have had in gaming.

This game pretty much told me that the PlayStation is more than capable of delivering this kind of experiences.

Now, if some of those high budget so-called AAA games cannot deliver not even a fraction of that - I believe - is on them.

> raises the question of whether they can see cables

Should the drone's vision be comparable to a humans though? I feel like drones can either see or don't. If we go and try to tackle every corner case then nothing would come of it.

Also, do I - as a citizen - have to bear the externalities of Amazon's beta testing?

> Genuinely curious what the solution here is

Walk to the store to get your package.

> they told me

> I know for a fact

That's not what a fact is; if we took everything written on businesswire or what the business owners / salespeople told us at face value then we'd be in deep trouble.
