I'm under the impression that VP9 is in the same generation with H265 (in terms of video size and encoding/decoding performance) but VP9 is free and open, so as a consumer, I'll happily accept if everybody just uses VP9.

It claims to be from the same generation but realistically it’s half a generation behind.

I didn't take the test but it might involve sudoku. I remember taking a test of similar fashion some time ago, and the final (hardest) question completely threw me off. I got curious and asked others, and was told it's sudoku related.

Pattern puzzles are good. I remember trying a test on the official Mensa website 10 years ago, and gave up midway because there were lots of word puzzles, which were biased in favor of native English speakers.

You are right and they have a spatial reasoning test called "Culture Fair" which they gave when I applied for a test. You only need to be top 2% on one of the two tests for an offer.

They get easier with practice though, so I don't think they're that great either. Also are we saying that linguistic ability has no bearing on intelligence? IQ tests seem to mainly test ability at IQ tests, I'm sure there's some correlations with aptitude in other fields, but I'm not sure how well a literature nobel prize winner would do on this.

I think the answer is Berkshire Hathaway. But the problem is whether you can afford to buy one share.

You can buy the class B shares if you want.

If you do CSS you'd know the best fonts for 16px isn't the best fonts for 18px, and definitely not the best fonts for H1 H2 etc.

The Verdana font that HN and reddit uses are pretty good for reading in small text.

I just want to buy the shows I want to watch, and permanently own them under my Netflix account. I don't mind buying them for $30 a season. Just like Steam.

Hey you know what? I think Steam should probably do just that!

I've always been confused about Holland, Netherlands, and Dutch.

Holland is a region within the Netherlands. It is (was?) the most populous and economically productive region, so over time got used as a substitute for Netherlands.

"Dutch" is derived from a word that means "the people". As is the Deutsch in Deutschland (what Germans call their nation - land of the people, basically). At one time, there were high Dutch and low Dutch, describing people from hilly regions in (what is now) Germany and people from the low-lying area that is now the Netherlands.

Netherlands is just what it sounds like - the low lands. Apt, since so much of the country should be underwater.

You see "nether-" in other words too, like "netherworld" or "nether regions", which both mean low/lowest parts of a place.

Holland = Holtland = "wood land", is a/the main region in the Netherlands

Netherlands = Nederlande = "low lands", encompasses the land which is devoid of mountains

Dutch = same origin as Deutsch (like Pennsylvania Dutch, which is closer to German than Dutch)

I've heard that the term Pennsylvania Dutch actually comes from English-speakers mishearing/misunderstanding when the speakers refer to their own language "Deutsch".

I think @alistairSH and @socialdemocrat stated it best! Also, I am an American and I used to work for a Dutch company (though i was based/worked out of the U.S. side)...and i will add that as many Dutch friends as i have, they all still dislike being wholesale referred to as "Hollanders" or living in the "country" of Holland. ...Which, i can not blame them for disliking of course. ;-) Also, when i speak English i refer to them as my *Dutch* buddies, but if i'm speaking in one of the Dutch dialects, then definitely use "Nederlanders". :-)

Holland: two provinces of The Netherlands. Dutch: the ethnicity. The word has the same origin as "Deutsch". The Netherlands: the european part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

I think this video should be sufficient to explain the difference.

If we're going for comedic references, this clip wins my Dutch vote:

(Michael Troughton playing the naive politician making an ultimatum to then-queen Beatrix of the Netherlands over the phone, and of course the brilliant Rik Mayall)

Isn't that bit of England/GB/UK situation?

I'm tempted to quote George Mikes, author of "How to be an alien":

> "When people say England, they sometimes mean Great Britain, sometimes the United Kingdom, sometimes the British Isles - but never England"

I don't mind seeing mosquitoes disappear even if they carry no virus.

"We're very sorry, but we hit the rate limit of the model... please try again shortly."

- It's totally understandable since you're on the HN frontpage, but hey please give me my question back! It took me one minute to type it!!

NTA: You took a full minute to write what you wrote. What you wrote was the least the site could give back to you after you spent a minute writing it and the site hit the rate limit and would be back shortly.

What if instead of using a fancy AI for this we started a community around it and had people try to pretend to be the ai. Might be way cheaper, could be better too

NTA: Deploying expensive fancy AI is not your fault. Unless YTA that deployed it even though it might be cheaper to pretend to be the AI.

EDIT: ROFL you think I'm not an AI pretending to be human pretending to be AI like you never heard of a GAN. Do you even ML/DL bro?

EDIT EDIT: don't mean to be an asshole sorry bad day.

It's interesting to see that out.js isn't minified.
