That’s nobody’s business but the Turks.

He is a first-time offender, and the crime he has been found guilty of is a non-violent paper crime.

Right, first time non-violent felon, like Michael Cohen.

They outline it pretty well here:

Amazon and several other companies hired like crazy during pandemic. Now they’re trying to shrink the workforce via a combination of outright layoffs and tight policies to make anyone on the verge of quitting go ahead and do it so they don’t have to pay severance.

Bonus points for shedding older, more experienced, more expensive employees vs. cheaper early in career employees.

Oh, thanks for the correction. I misunderstood which Friday it was. Almost two weeks to surrender seems generous.

Now what would be super interesting is if the Georgia Court doesn’t grant him bail on Friday. That would throw a bit of a wrench in his plans to be somewhere on Monday. Near-zero chance of that happening, but it’s the only way to keep him from intentionally trying to taint the jury pool.

Another use case: when you look at activities that flow across multiple devices and you’re correlating the sequence of events, having every device set to the exact same, ideally correct time makes correlation of events less confusing.

The investment firms are a big part of the problem, coupled with the fact that anyone who locked in a 30 year mortgage at rates between 2.5-3.0% really, really don’t want to sell and give up that rate.

I run wireguard VPN, qbitorrent, most of the *arr apps, and Jellyfin all in containers on a headless Raspberry Pi 4, with storage backed by a NAS. It works surprisingly well, I just ensure that I never need to do transcoding.

It’s a really small dollar investment to try it to see if it meets your needs.

I’ve recoded a bunch of x264 to AV1 and routinely gotten file sizes that are 10-15% of the original file size (a little more than 1/10th the original size)

What I’ve found is that source content often has a lot of key frames. By dropping key frames down to one per 300 or one per 150 frames (one per 10 or 5 seconds for 30fps) and at scene changes, you can save a LOT of space with no loss of quality. You do give up the ability to skip to an arbitrary point in the content, however. You may have to wait a few seconds for rendering to display if you scroll to an arbitrary point in the content.

If you’re just watching the content straight through, no issues. I set CRF to achieve 96 VMAF and I can’t tell any difference in quality between the content with that setup.

I had one corpus of content that I reduced from 1.3 TB down to 250 GB after conversion.

Unfortunately, only the most recent TVs have AV1 playback built in, and the current Fire sticks, Chromecast don’t have support for playback from a LAN source. I’m hoping the next crop of Chromecast and similar devices get full support, I’m assuming it’s just a matter of time until AV1 decoding is included in every hardware decoder since it’s royalyy-free.

My neighborhood has roundabouts. A couple of times when there’s not any traffic around, I’ve let autopilot attempt to navigate them. It works, mostly, but it’s quite unnerving. AP wants to go through them ready faster than I would drive through them myself.
