I think they use HLS for streaming to phones. At that point it is much easier because you are writing the entire app, you can do whatever you want because you have complete control of both the server and the client. In a web browser, you are restricted to the technologies that the major browser companies support.

If you ever watch Pawn Stars, they get old trench knives in sometimes from World War I and he says they are illegal because they have 3 cutting sides. After WW1 they were banned by the Geneva Convention because they make irregular shaped wounds that can’t be stitched together.

Did you follow the link? There are panels where the roaches are inexplicably wearing gold chains, shooting pistols with a “gangster” side grip and playing basketball with a human head. It’s absolutely racist as hell.

Wrong game, they are talking about Overwatch. No one plays HotS.

You know that the Tor project was started with funding from the Office of Naval Research, and continues to get money from various branches of the government. The men in black are not out to get him, this guy is just a perv.

Except you sign messages with private keys, not public keys.... the public keys are used to verify signatures. You would think the designer of bitcoin would know that, which makes this suspicious to me.

There are types of modern steel that outperform Damascus steel. But you are right that no one knows exactly how it was made originally.

That escalated quickly.

China substantially outperforms the US in all international education metrics, so yeah, high quality. Sorry if that clashes with your racist idea of China as a backwards country.

But China has high quality, free education along with access to contraception so what does that have to do with this story?

Yeah but where do you draw the line? Maybe the guy broke off the engagement because his fiance cheated on him. I feel like it's rarely that one party just goes, "I'm not that into you any more" and ends it at that point. Both people probably had a hand in it.

Oh yeah, being the lead actress on a popular TV show for 6 years gives you just enough money to pay the bills. Boo hoo, we should all feel so sorry for her.

You were on Roatan I guess? Utila is just houses and dive shops that I've seen.

I dunno that sounds pretty awesome. I just meant that there are places that aren't expensive and packed with resorts.

Yeah that's what I mean. Work trip to Europe? No problem. Work trip to Cuba or China on the other hand? Not the same thing.

Do you think you can just say "research" and they will go oh okay no problem? They are going to ask for documentation, where are you visiting, who did you talk to, etc. Customs people are total a-holes. As someone who has been extensively detained by for completely legit travel that they didn't like my explanation…

If you're not going for one of those reasons then you have to lie to the customs agents, which is not a smart thing to do in this day and age. And just because you don't need preapproval doesn't mean that they won't ask you for some proof at customs.

There are already massive resorts in Cuba. Did you think Americans were the only people that like tropical islands?

What almost certainly happened was that the police or FBI were hosting some files as bait and then tracking the people that downloaded them. They were not "monitoring the network."

Except the horrible plight of people being asphyxiated while swimming in their cartoon money piles.
