Never, ever, ever put working video files - original footage or working copies, on an external drive. It's just too slow, especially in these days of 4K and upwards.
Not really, no. Well, okay, yes and no at the same time.
An USB 3.0 HDD's speed is indistinguishable from an internal HDD's speed. There is no performance difference. Yes, an SSD would have helped, however once you reach dozens of TBs worth of files, using SSDs becomes prohibitively expensive. An external HDDs performance might have been enough for encoding of final footage. The bottleneck there is usually the CPU.
No, they have to prove before the first ad, I assume they have an account number or some identifier linked to the account owner. All subsequent ads requested from the same account are automatically approved. Of course, these are all assumptions, however I have found no references within the article.
I understand that. But is this enough to follow through until the end, or id Facebook going to ask for proof further down the process?
It could go like this: 1. "We're representing Senator Dimwit, please approve our ad" 2. "You are approved" 3. "Please run ad ABC" 4. "Prove you are representing Senator Dimwit before we implement the ad"
I am confused. It looks like an entity said if I prove to be X, would you run ads specifying > with X as sponsor?” and Facebook said if you prove to be X, sure!”. Isn't it how it's actually supposed to be working?
In most countries, jaywalking is not even a crime.
Citation needed. Anyway... Jaywalking is only called as such if it's a crime. Otherwise it's called "crossing the road". So let's focus on where it indeed is illegal to cross the road wherever you feel like. Jaywalking was always a tricky thing. There are many variables to consider. Is it okay to cross a road through an unmarked location, if the road is empty for hundreds of yards either way or with no car in sight? Is it okay to play IRL Frogger in a busy intersection in the middle of the city?
Personally, I am a strong supporter of (enforcing) heavy fines in case of jaywalking anywhere within a city or town's borders, with the exception of single-lane, one-way streets with speed bumpers or speed limit below 15 mph. The reason for this is my belief that a civilized society is based on respecting the "small rules": no littering, no jaywalking, no unruly behavior, no making a lot of noise, you know, common sense things. I'm from a country where jaywalking is punished... in theory. In practice, nobody gives a flying fuck, and as a result I stay at the red light with my little kids and everyone else just jaywalks, so I struggle to properly educate my kids to be civilized because everyone else shows them, through their apish behavior, that their dad is an idiot for following simple common sense rules. Am I an idiot for teaching my kids a civilized rule? In the past I used to work as a camera man for a local branch of a country-wide private TV channel. One of my tasks was to document all major incidents for the local police, as at the time they did not have their own camera man. I have documented car accidents, fires, demolitions gone wrong, suicides, homicides, pretty much anything with victims (be they wounded or killed). I've seen fatal effects of jaywalking, very closely and from a wide variety of angles. People who jaywalk have no fucking clue. I know exactly what I am keeping my kids away from, and I cringe every time I see parents dragging their kids across the road, in a hurry, because cars are coming with 30-40 mph. There was a case from back then where a parent with two kids jaywalked, one of the kids dropped his toy and pulled his hand from his father's, ran back to pick it up and was run over by a car. The other kid go scared and ran the other way, across the middle of the road and got hit by another car. The parent was unscathed but ended up with one dead child and another crippled for life. All because he decided not to wait for 30 more seconds.
So yeah, it doesn't matter if jaywalking is a crime. Before it being a crime, it's a common sense rule. It became a crime because people lack common sense, so it needs to be hammered into their thick skulls with fines and such.
I looked my country up, being curious. 169 destinations, pretty darn good. I can't travel without a visa to many Asian countries and notably the US of A.
So this "most powerful passport" became a game of "let's find some very small country and close a deal with them" for those countries vying for the top position.
Snake oil sellers were selling an actual product and lying about its ingredients, or properties. Today's sellers don't even have a product most of the time. They are selling a theoretical product, and even more successfully.
Pretty much. My point is that letting the facts talk was replaces by letting the talk be a fact instead. What scares me is that everyone else buys into the talk and jump around like monkeys who see a picture of a banana. Sometimes I feel like a normal dude who just fell into Stupidland.
Seriously, governments should make it illegal to blatantly waste electricity.
Once that train starts, you can't stop it anymore. As a matter of fact, it is not just a train, but a huge railway station.
First, define "waste electricity". For you, it's cryptominers. For me, it's public street lighting. For others, it would be computers in general. Or TVs. Or pool pumps. Or CERN. Then, it expands to "waste". Did you water your lawn? Oh my, you wasted a lot of perfectly good water. To the gallows with you! Does your car guzzle more than one gallon per 50 miles? We are providing you with a perfectly fitting dungeon chamber where you'll spend large amounts of time thinking about how you wasted resources. Are you heating your house to temperatures more than 10 degrees Celsius above freezing? What a waste of energy! We heard there's a dire shortage of working citizens in Siberian mines, our Russian friends will be more than happy to welcome you there, where water is being served in cubes.
You're opening a giant can of worms with that statement.

This sounds like Exception here. Everyone must be like me otherwise they suck”.
The answer ranges from "zero" to "all of them". There you go.
Yes, until now. With Threadripper 2, the game is changing.
Streamers, most of them. The serious ones, at least.
Auto-hide taskbar as well.
I used to do that back in 2000 at the University.

Isn't it how it's actually supposed to be working?
Exactly. I have read over a thousand books on my smartphone, held vertically, using volume buttons to flip pages. Very tiny text on the screen too.
Guess who do kids learn from?
They learn jaywalking is fine and they learn to respect cars less.
You've seen the evidence first-hand that the jaywalking law is not enforceable.
No, I've seen evidence it's not enforced.
Romania, which, amazingly, is separated from the UK.
I have no idea what the Queen's Highway is.

I guess he would, but not me.
If you sell GPS watches with hardcoded timezones, you deserve to go bankrupt.

Oh, that actually exists and works. No worries there, porn is THE leading media industry in terms of tech adoption.

In today's times, hard work is replaced by fast talk. Valid for most new products, TBH.

I'm not a developer.
No, I understand that. In no case was I making a point to save Apple's incompetence. It's just that DST shouldn't exist anymore.
