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.

I tried it, and now I'm wondering what some of those patterns in the low-mid-30's were (I don't recall the specific numbers, but probably around 32 or 33), because I was completely lost when I got to those. I'm more interested in what those patterns were than their assessment of what it means with regard to my IQ.
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.

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

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.

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