Netflix's UWP client also supports 4k streaming, alongside 5.1 audio at a slightly-higher bitrate (128kbps IIRC?), but it has the same HDCP and Intel/NVIDIA requirements as far as I know.
It is really interesting since this is one of these parameters one can check easily and cheap (OXI meters are around 100 euro). And they're still available ATM.
Ah Adrian! Yes his SCION is quite impressive and has plenty of cool features, but if it will ever outgrow the “future internet” technology phase remains to be seen.
I (other account) once submitted their work to HN to see what real smart people thought about it, but it got 0 traction.
This submission is a better honeypot than the software link it points to. It has not been updated (latest blog entry 19/02/2018, latest code release Jul 30 2018).
Honeypots are high maintenance, or easy detectable.
Better example (disclaimer, I might have had something to do with this when it was being developed) is the DT Honeypot initiative.
I say (from experience) during hard times is the best time to start.
You will not be lured into massive fixed costs and start with the absolute minimum and required, which you can scale up when your business start flying.
As long as you start tight, you will stand a good change.
For me the exact opposite. 15 years ago I removed any and all reverence to my history of COBOL because I was suddenly actively being contacted for COBOL coding jobs.
Although I had a great time, as a starting coder, with COBOL jobs (transcoding COBOL to C at the time), I know one thing: ever ever again will I utter one like of COBOL code.
There are still people making very decent money doing it, but the lockin to one particular source of work just does not sound like what I could bare.
> Bug bounty programs are not supposed to replace you other security activities, but it's a way for you to have additional source of vulnerabilities.
Exactly the way we position our own Bug Bounty Program. Where the pentesters can be hired to also confirm things done well, the hunters are only paid for failures they found.
In our case there is an added bonus with the Bug Bounty Program: we've come to REALLY apriciate the technical level of reports. Since they only get paid for triagable findings, the details we get reported are so much better then what we used to get from our pentesters. Of course we now require the same quality of reporting from them.
What also helps is that the pentesters are motivated more to deliver higher quality findings since they are aware the service will enter the Bug Bounty Program after their findings are resolved.
Again, BBP should NOT replace your other security activities, they are an additional source with possible unforeseen benefits.
No one in the US seriously believe this right? You're all behind schedule and the worst have yet to come. As far I understand, there are many places in the US where a lockdown/quarantine hasn't even taken place yet, so count on a couple of months before things get back to normal.
Some dude ranting about "how the system works" where "you are all slaves" and "they get free money" does not help anyone but the youtuber who's collecting views.
But this is the reality and it does help people to know about this.
For the same amount of money, we don't all have to work as hard or produce the same amount of economic value, this is a true fact and it's ethically wrong. The economic reality of our situation affects every person on the planet so it affects everything. It's vitally important that we all understand how the system works even if explained in such hand-wavy way.
It's no coincidence that they don't teach this in schools. You'd think they would want people to know how money is created; after all, everyone spends their entire lives working for that money but we know nothing about it - The elites who control the banks don't want people do know because people would be able to see so many issues.
Isn't it strange that in school, we learn Maths, Physics, Chemistry, English, Geography, History... The arguments used for teaching those subjects is that they provide a good foundation of knowledge for all citizens... but when it comes to one of the most important subjects in our lives which affects every single citizen, we don't know anything about it. We all come out of school having a pretty good idea about how gravity works but we know almost nothing about how the financial system works (even though knowing about the latter can be used to our our advantage). It's no coincidence. If the majority of people knew, the current system would collapse and be replaced by something better.
Well, wealth allocation (through money and debt creation in our modern world) is a really complex topic. And it plays into various aspect of human knowledge and behaviors, from Maths and Physics to History, Sociology and Psychology.
It's a very difficult topic to grasp and is subject to various changes, from vested interest of groups (said group which itself could be composed of competing entities) to ideological decisions.
Crying wolf and having borderline conspiracy theories about "how the government is here to robe you!" and "how the elites are here to maintain ignorance!" doesn't help this discussion.
The real discussion is how wealth should be allocated: toward which goals? (consumption? investments? which kind of consumption or investments?) by who should it be allocated? (banks? selected individuals? governments?) What is the "correct" wealth distribution (high or low inequality, more or less towards investments or consumption etc).
If you frame the debate this way, you start to have more constructive criticisms of today situation and the current system (Which don't get me wrong, is definitely flawed and biased toward wealth concentration).
And I've seen videos on Youtube doing exactly that, contrary to the video linked there which is more about ranting, is poorly structured and doesn't give a clearer view of the situation.
> It's a very difficult topic to grasp and is subject to various changes, from vested interest of groups (said group which itself could be composed of competing entities) to ideological decisions.
This is so disingenuous and reeks of a superiority complex. "This system is too complex for poors to understand, that's why we, the educated and wealthy, are printing more money for ourselves. It will trickle down, we promise! We're really smart and know what we're doing!"
> Which don't get me wrong, is definitely flawed and biased toward wealth concentration
Exactly right. It's not complicated because it needs to be, it's complicated to hide layers and layers of corruption where we have codified methods for handing more money to people who already have enough of it.
> you start to have more constructive criticisms of today situation
I disagree with this. The average American has no avenue for "constructive criticism" of this system, because the average American has no access to the political system. The only way to combat this problem is to raise hell, and possible even to spill blood -- considering how soon our corporate overlords are willing to sacrifice us to preserve their quarterly earning reports.
> This is so disingenuous and reeks of a superiority complex
Well, no. I doubt anybody on Earth (including bankers, billionaires or governments) truly can grasp all the ins and outs of money/debts creation and all the consequence it has on the economy and society. At best they can have a local and short term view which are in their best interest.
For example, 1929 crisis, more than 90 years after the events is not a completely settled question among scholars up to this day (not so much on the origins but more on the effect of the responses of Hoover/Roosevelt distinct policies and the policies of other countries around the world at the time).
To make a really bad analogy, the current financial system is a bit like this big old legacy system with COBOL, some partial rewrite in Java, some ad-hoc hacks created when it crashed. It's a huge mess to entangle, not always logical, but it kind of works except when it doesn't. And nobody really knows fully how it works. The current financial system is a bit like that, except it's a 300/400 years old (~creation of the first central banks), has seen tons of crashes and hacks, and has laws, procedures, customs and policies as "source code" which makes it really hard to read.
> I doubt anybody on Earth (including bankers, billionaires or governments) truly can grasp all the ins and outs of money/debts creation and all the consequence it has on the economy and society.
Then the whole system needs to be thrown out and rewritten from scratch. It's pretty obvious who benefits from all the jargon, complexity, and abstractions. And it's not labourers, that's for sure.
I think that this is a very strong argument. The opacity of the system is in itself sufficient grounds to label it as unethical. It's not ethical to coerce someone into accepting the value of something that they are not capable of understanding and which constantly changes in ways that they also cannot understand.
If, without telling you, I took a gold coin from you and replaced it with a gold-painted led coin and then I gave your gold coin to someone else, this is stealing. The fact that you don't realize that there is a difference does not matter. How is this different from what the Fed is doing?
It's not right to assume that this economic system treats us all equally on the basis that everyone is equally incapable of understanding it.
People game the system by observing what works and reacting to familiar situations in ways to maximize their personal benefit. If the rules of the system don't change for a long time, the system becomes ossified and we end up with an inherently unjust system.
Goodhart's law states that "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure" - The measuring tools which the government has been using to operate our economy are already well understood and have being exploited for a long time.
Where factually correct, the numbers are... smallish:
"Two hospitals in Basel and one in Jura, in northwestern Switzerland, said they would each take two French patients after the Alsace authorities sent out a distress call for help. The French region has been particularly badly hit following contagion among a large church service last month.
Hospitals in Germany are also providing help along with the Swiss hospitals that say they are providing help in the spirit of solidarity and international cooperation."
Understandably so, since the rush is just hitting Switzerland itself.
We're even preparing for a complete lockdown, I (this weekend) received an official document that allows me to travel between my home address and work.

Interesting, are you in Switzerland? After the press conference on Friday I thought the federal council does not want to go to the direction of complete lockdown because it would not be useful because it would not respected.
