1.3B$ according to NYT, according to Techcrunch:

> While the startup didn’t disclose its new valuation, The New York Times reports that it landed at about $1.3 billion post-money.

Not since 2024 according to this article? As they use DPAPI. Or am I reading this wrong?

> In Chrome 127 we are introducing a new protection on Windows that improves on the DPAPI by providing Application-Bound (App-Bound) Encryption primitives. Rather than allowing any app running as the logged in user to access this data, Chrome can now encrypt data tied to app identity, similar to how the Keychain operates on macOS.

Looks very useful, will give it a go.

This resonates with my use of grep+less: https://github.com/tstack/lnav?tab=readme-ov-file#why-not-ju...

> ... That being: "Can I decode the next frame(s) in time to show it/them without stuttering".

Except when you are editing video, or rendering output. When you have multiple streams of very high definition input, you definitely need much more than realtime speed decoding of a single video.

And you would want to scrub around the video(s), jumping to any timecode, and get the target frame preferably showing as soon as your monitor refreshes.

Coordinating that change for the RELEVANT parties, yes. IMHO that's a tiny part of a society.

Instead of everyone EVERYONE having to adjust clocks and their natural schedules. I think (and some studies agree with me) the stress and negative effects of that switching twice a year is much more on aggregate.

I don't personally see any benefit from daylight savings. But I also live at around 60+ degrees North: at peak summertime there is 19 hours of full daylight (barely gets dark the other hours), wintertime less about 5. Daylight saving does not really make a dent.

Why? Can't people adjust their schedules as needed?

Schools don't have to always start at the same time? And many jobs also not?

It's not like 9-17 work hours are set on stone?

It was proposed officially in 2018, but unfortunately the decision was never finalized:

If you find a better link for the methodology please let me know.

But simplified it's maybe exactly this from the UN reports glossary:

> Cities: According to the Degree of Urbanization methodology, contiguous geographic areas with a high population density (at least 1,500 people per km2) and a total population of at least 50,000 inhabitants.

I was wondering the same. I guess it comes from this "UN figure":

> The UN figures include a mixture of city proper, metropolitan area, and urban area.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cities

I haven't looked into the details of that definition.

But there is a somewhat standard definition to "metropolitan area" derived from something like "area where there is at least X per square km"

So it's not related a somewhat random definition of a "city" and its borders.

> ...which I can't say about any other SEA language. Phonetic spellings, Latin alphabet, no tonal sounds, dead easy grammar and a million loan words you already know.

Nitpick: Sounds a lot like Tagalog (Filipino), another SEA language.

According to the CEO (assuming this is them), they had most of the investment money left. They shut down quite quickly.
