Maybe we should just remove voting altogether and just have 20 PhDs from Harvard/Standford/Yale and MIT decide who should run the country to avoid the unwashed masses decide such an important aspect of our life.
In UK, where NHS is publicly owned, it was actually policy to have 90% occupancy of ICU beds. If it was less than that, the "extra" beds would be removed.
Even professional video production (movies, ...) shoot the raw material in lossy formats, albeit, with minimal compression.
Not even they can afford lossless capture. Because while storage capacities do increase, so does the used video size, bit depth and framerate, and number of takes.
> It would be great if web browsers would accept in an <img> tag all the video codecs they can play in a <video> tag, the only difference being that in an <img> tag, the video is autoplayed, muted, and looped. That way, new and masterful video codecs like VP9 and AV1 would automatically work for animations, and we can finally get rid of the ancient GIF format.
Of course, the typical rebuttal on HN will be "I hate autoplay, nothing should autoplay without an explicit click", which is why we'll be stuck with GIF for another 10 years.
