Because this is Less Wrong, I'll say that they're making a logical fallacy. A prediction was made that Bitcoin would go well, and it did, but the fact that it went well doesn't mean that the prediction was rationally founded.

Interesting idea, but I think there's a variable you're missing, which is the light by which the physical object is illuminated by. The colour temperature and spectral power distribution of the light makes a difference. If you use

My understanding is that calibrating the monitor only takes the light emitted from the monitor into account, so the environment doesn't matter for calibration. That said, the way we perceive colour varies depending on environmental lig

I can't imagine spending $6000 on a computer for editing photos and then saying "It also means I don't plan to buy and meticulously use a color calibration device". My computer might not be half as fast, but at least I k

I'm under the impression that the general philosophy of cryptocurrencies is that the code is the law. You can do anything that the code will allow you to do, because it's designed so that you can trust the system and not people. I

The usual narrative is that coverage of Trump and Sanders couldn't be more different, with Sanders struggling for attention while Trump received vast amounts of free advertising. There is a lot of truth to it, but, according to a study

Yeah, but that's one hundred installations worth $10M+ each. It's worth being in the business of supporting them when repair bills can top one million dollars. http://jalopnik.com/5982805/rowan-mr-bean-atkinso

Aren't there a small group of people who essentially control all of Bitcoin with no oversight? There might be a group of 30 very wealthy early adopters, miners, main developers, people who own the communication channels, and other infl

It sounds like a good idea, but in reality, the sport of road cycling is and always has been extremely heavily dependent on bicycle manufacturers. You could probably make an argument that professional cycling exists mostly for the purpose o

I don't see them competing with SLRs. You'll need a lot of small sensors to capture as much light as a one big SLR sensor. However, it's impossible to put larger sensors in thin phones because of the size of the optics, so pu

The multi-aperture thing isn't what makes this interesting. What is interesting is that it takes a bunch of little sensors and combines them into a single better image with software. Because a lot of work has been done into making very
