I think 2 things need to happen for depth sensing to go mainstream (and I do believe they will happen sooner or later): - Games. Look at the tennis ball example on the original article. Remember Google's IRL photo-based game (Ingress),

I kinda thought the same thing about flash-drive viruses, and why Bruce wasn't using CDs/DVDs instead. Then I realized if he was really serious, he wouldn't say what he's really using, and he'd have a USB honeypot p

The video says they used the PatchMatch algorithm for the background fill, and a quick search reveals that PatchMatch was developed in 2009 in association with Adobe and later incorporated into Photoshop CS5.

"His critique is about her unserious approach to the process..." What's so laughable and made me skim the article is that all of his arguments are based on tidbits of social media that described the process. It shouldn't

I agree with the sentiment of the passage you quote (and the original article in general), but I actually think historical circumstances are a bit different than "Americans have fought and suffered and died to preserve freedom over our

I believe the closest RV park to SF is in Pacifica. Nice location but not very practical for commuting. There might be some in the east bay with better access. I'm surprised no other comment mentioned Jacob of Early Retirement Extreme[

Lived in France half his childhood and likes good cheese != American. Pines for cheddar != French. I can relate (except for the cheddar thing, especially the cheddar that American audiences are thinking of). The digital nomads are from ever

I suspect it's just the standard (for the time) term in Russian for what would be called a deployment manual and/or service manual in English. I've worked with old French documents titled "Manuel d'exploitation&quot

I didn't read all the comments, but I did see a few people mentioned boats. I was going to say that there are many, many, many layouts for small, mobile, livable spaces such as RVs, motorboats, and sailboats. Given that many are more c

I came to say the same thing. The article hints that such a use is possible, but makes it sound like it is a modern discovery of its capabilities. Turns out that poisoning was always an effective way of killing enemies (even still today), a

3800 miles and the next country is ... USA (Hawaii). However, both winds and water currents tend to go north of Hawaii, so it is more like 5200 miles on the great circle to California.

I don't think the I-would-support-Manning-if-he-had-selectively-released-info position is morally tenable. You're saying that some of his releases were vital and necessary (you'd support those). And then somehow, the perceive

In the other article from WaPo about Manning sentencing, there was this quote: "Manning will receive a credit of 1,293 days for the time he has been confined prior to the sentence, including 112 days of credit for abusive treatment he

On the one hand, any do-it-yourself project is fun and rewarding, and boats are fascinating and beautiful, especially if you build one yourself out of wood. On the other hand, I don't think this is a practical, generalizable idea, it&#

I'm glad the big picture is getting more press. I felt this article laid out a lot of the issues (obscure loan terms, diploma mills, college salary bloat and "gilding," government policies and lack of transparency). These com

So cool, and thanks for the link. I love it when comments connect to related but little-known content that actually expands the scope and understanding of the original story. That drawing of the Armageddon cabinet clearly shows the secondar

I think the article is beating around the bush by calling this a "culture war" and stereotyping a lot of people as "techies," "hipster artists," "creatives," etc. Also, it really has nothing to do wit

My guess is that's accounted for in each city by the m and k values. Note that these values are essentially averaging the battery-temp-affecting behavior of everybody in a given location (as well as the local temperature variations as

I thought it was irrelevant to the story, and needlessly personal, especially since the story contained enough information to identify the company and CEO. In particular, you say "had an abortion at John's request" as if he f

I wanted to submit this, but HN redirected me to this previous submission ... with no comments and only 3 points. I suppose it's NSA overload by now. However, I fear this encryption thing is going to be the end of the useful internet--

Excellent link, thanks. I can't wait to see these old pictures get reused as new LOLcats. There must be a steampunk hovercat in there somewhere.

Just because you mentioned the internet and "everything must be connected with Snowden," I wonder if the NSA is tapping all short-wave comms? You'd think yes, because that is what spooks on all sides used for encoded messages

This is an interesting story with lots of odd comments. First of foremost, I agree that Xerox putting their name on a product which creates an unfaithful copy is corporate suicide. Such an ancient paragon of computer innovation should be ab
