Pretty much all modern digital cameras are using heuristics and algorithms to construct the image you see - it's not just a sensor grid and a bitmap file and it hasn't been for a long time.

That's odd

That's more like cheap vs middle of the road. There is no luxury space in laptops - displays, iPads, and workstations maybe but that's it (and those are more pro than luxury). $999 amortized over 3 years is $30/mo which is l

I think what you're getting at - and which is the critical thing that seems to keep getting forgotten is the critical situation of the hostages. Everything from both sides is rotating around the hostages and we are still not yet in a

That seems very good faith and transparent. Bad faith would be saying, 'yeah we are happy with a permanent cease fire', getting all the hostages, and then continuing the assault. Agree that the logic kind of pushes Hamas into kee

Because it was a dead man walking by the time PE bought it. The underlying assets were worth more than the sale price so it was never going to make sense to do anything other than what happened. With that said, the tax code and employee la

There's still the question though of why they didn't do this decades ago - seems very obvious that this layout is better. What changed that made it possible only now and not earlier?

There's no comparison of how much grid improvements would cost without EVs so I don't know if $20B is alot. California has 5th highest GDP in the world at $3.9T so .5% if all that money was spent in one year but actually over a d

This also makes me think about Descartes' ball of wax - which he handled while pondering the Great Deceiver. One of his great writing techniques was to bring the reader to the room where he was writing at that moment in time.

Descartes sits down in his seat on an airplane and the steward asks, "would you like some tea?", to which Descartes replies, "I think not" and poof!, he disappears out of existence.

Trucks are very high margin and he has a chance to take over a top selling segment in the US. If the gen2 version hits it's stride it could be a multi-billion dollar win that pays out over decades. I won't buy it for multiple rea

Agreed. Spain's old growth forests were denuded to build the Spanish Armada (or thereabouts) and you can go further back to catastrophic, anthropogenic, environmental shifts a few thousand years back in India, China and elsewhere in t

I suppose the difference here is surveillance vs investigation.
527.
by AdamN 3y ago
Isn't this already effectively the case - not just in the US but universally? If the government 'lawfully' requests access to investigate a crime, there are only a few carveouts that are available to dispute the request (jou

It probably converts well and they see no reason to update it ... or the intern turned off the cron job that was written in 2015 that is supposed to update the cross-links every day ...

They work reasonably well for today's weather and music - which is all I want them for. Not once have I gotten an ad from my HomePod which is in and of itself the killer feature.

High government spending doesn't mean the government is bigger necessarily. The big expenses are just getting moved right back out to the private sector for agricultural subsidies, energy subsidies, etc... The better metric would be h

The point s_dev is trying to make is that the designer can (and should) design things so that the mechanic "doesn't have to think". Seems like Airbus has evolved their design accordingly.

That's why insurance is heavily regulated and there are requirements on capital available for claims in order to operate in the jurisdiction. And of course savvy clients (like the ones managing $100MM container ships) will do due dili

That's not really a rebuttal - the entire convoy was (incorrectly) identified as a target. If they were actually military it certainly would make sense to kill the targets one by one as it's hard to target simultaneously.

Exactly - the safest thing to do with the AI gun is not point it anybody and destroy it. Perhaps the AI gun shooting somebody wouldn't be an intentional murder but it's certainly manslaughter since you know that it could shoot wh

My understanding is that the insurers like these situations - it makes it obvious how important good insurance is and sales go up. The individual impact seems large to the layperson but is within the models of the insurance and reinsurance

Although pros do still make clear errors and even misses that may not be classed as an error (but are at the professional level) might outweigh the brilliant shots when it comes to the win. I suspect this is why some games are 'best o
