It takes a long time to bring legal proceedings. If you're accustomed to seeing high-profile prosecutions of highest-flying debacles appear somewhat after the peak of any exuberance, that can be readily explained by simple phase-delay.

Electronics are a different market than the one that McMaster serves. Frequently at Digikey, you need an exact part number from a specific manufacturer. Or, if you're buying parts at scale, you might be quite price-sensitive. At McMa

McMaster's pricing and structure also self-selects for the right kind of customer -- customers who are willing to pay a reasonable premium for quality, speed, and customer service.

It has come up when we've played the "McMaster Game" at our office, in which we attempt to guess random things that McMaster might or might not have. Interesting things they have had in the past include basketball hoops (in a

I have never noted a gender disparity among colleagues who use McMaster. Everyone likes it just fine.

McMaster is a great choice when you can value your time. There is no comparison shipping. You need an industrial tricycle that gets the job done? Great. Add an industrial tricycle to your cart. Unless there is a meaningful difference betwee

It's not obvious why a new system is needed. UTC, TAI, or unix-time are sufficient. The primary defect I see in the SIT proposal is that it isn't obviously based on the SI, but rather tied to the Earth. Defining a new unit that is

Almost everything has improved by at least some important measures (quality, safety, availability, or inflation-adjusted price) since the 1980s.

It could also draw the attention of the Physics Nobel committee. Oodles of physicists have been working on the folding inverse-problem for decades.

Not sure, that's why I asked. I can imagine some tethering rigs send over the camera live view by default.

I bet early Boom clients would get luxurious treatment and priority. Speed is obviously important to them -- they are willing to pay for it.

Does this yield "clean" output, without framelines/exposure data, etcetera?

Compression also works better on higher-quality video. The compression algorithm doesn't have to try to properly recover the noise. Also, seconded on the difference a larger sensor and better glass make for a webcam.

They can ask that you assert, under substantial penalty of assuming Getty's potential liabilities, that it was not AI generated.

In addition, Getty won't want to be liable for hosting something on which a third party holds copyright and hasn't assigned it to the submitter. They'll have plenty of liability and they have deep pockets.

A little delay at $50k an infringement can go a long, long way. I'm not sure what the statute of limitations is for infringement, but I bet it is two years or more.

Crypto is growing up. The little tyke we got to know in 2014 is getting its first meaningful encounters with the consequence of young adulthood. Growing up is hard, but the outcome can be positive.

The older I get, the less I care about which distribution comes on a linux laptop. The fact that it exists at all is a reason to consider the model. A production linux laptop is a clear statement, "All of our hardware is immediately co
