Wouldn’t a custom subtitle track just for people with Prosopagnosia help? Like every time a character appears, show her/his name for 5 seconds. If there isn’t already a subculture that creates fan-made subtitle tracks, we should create

So Apple claims that Netflix is okay but that new Microsoft service is not, because the former one is a video streaming platform while the latter is a interactive game streaming platform. Now Apple, please explain me this: Netflix is also

I don't think centralization automatically becomes the status quo. The reason why we have the current centralization of amazon, facebook, github etc is because the web as we are currently using it has centralization built in: A browser

There was this interesting article posted here some time ago that plotted the complexity of life found on earth vs time, and by using the right methodology and logarithmic scales, it arrived at a nice linear line over many data points and

Fascinating. Is it correct that with both implementations, you cannot move the virtual sun around - it's always shining from the exact same angle?

I haven't seen either product in person, but from looking at youtube videos of both, it seems like CoeLux has a clearly defined, properly round sun, while with your product, the sun looks fuzzy and cross-shaped, like viewed through a d

Interesting. How do you differentiate yourself from CoeLux, which has been doing a very similar thing for a few years now?

> Do we want a literal slow-software police? This court case shows that we kinda now already have one. The phones from 5 years ago already had amazing processors with billions of cycles per second. They can probably do nearly everything.

Note that you can turn it off at any time. And there are no ads there, it's just a pure 4K 60fps stream from the bridge with some artifical railings rendered on top. There are even 2 cameras, one for each side, and you get the view in

Well, the "M" in the regular Leica M-Series means "Messsucher". The M in "MP" means "mechanical" (as in "mechanical perfection"). So based on that one could argue that the MP isn't part

That's incorrect. You're thinking of a low pass filter, for which the Red supports a variety of filters that you can switch. What the parent most likely is seeing is bad nearest-neighbor downscaling (e.g bad selection of downscali

by Darthy 8y ago
Correct. Master Primes, Cookes and Leica Summilux are all PL-mount, with which the Red is completely compatible. Seeing such a bullshit attack as the top comment is really unfortunate.

Off the top of my head, you could have this system: you use a new id that authenticates you with the carrier every n packets, and you do the routing from the source to your id on a server that you control yourself.

This is a problem with the GSM/UMTS standards themselves. Carriers always know where you are, but one could create a standard where they wouldn't have to know unless you make a call. With enough encryption and effort, I'm pre

We can all look at the data. The graph I linked ends in 2003 (like indicated in the graph itself), and jpollock posted the value for 2016, which is 70, so even higher than 2003. In other words, you are telling incorrect things and when call
