I don't understand how computers figure out 3D from single camera video without parallax. How do they do that?

What do you think about replacing most fighter pilots with unmanned drones? Way of the future or will never happen?

I didn't have the (1987) tag when I left my comment.

Do the affected employees know they're in a bad state? Would be courtesy to let them in on their low performance so that they can make a job change before they are "terminated with cause" as that never looks good for future e

Wow, water guns to shoot squirrels. The technical stuff is super interesting. Thank you!

I thought this post would be about automating weapons. Like with beagle boards/arduino + servos and computer vision auto targeting and a smartphone. Which would be kind of scary, but at least technically interesting.

I'm curious about what went wrong with the interview and what the performance problems were without being too specific.

And where would the "free energy" be coming from? Pretty sure you'd be losing energy, as energy doesn't come from thin air.

Yes I did, that was pretty important.

It looks like a terminal inside Firefox. I didn't see any file tree view, or even an actual editor.

Russia's Tzars really doomed Russia for the last hundred years + the future when they decided to wait a century or more too long to emancipate their serfs. Russians have never had a chance to experience freedom, just corruption and aut

I don't understand your argument anymore, I think we do agree that lock in is bad, so that's good.

> Only in markets with poor competition This is blatantly and obviously false. Mobile has lots of competition, and lots of lock in. Apple's App Store, Google Play Services on Android, DRM on Kindles, DRM everywhere. I can watch Amaz

Unless you can afford a private school, I don't think San Francisco is a good place for kids. I take my daughter to the Exploratorium, the Palace of Fine Arts, and the San Francisco Zoo, and there's also a nice playground near the

I'd rather write Django ORM than write create and alter table SQL, and migration SQL any day of the week. The developers who wrote Django's ORM are also way better at writing SQL and database related code than I am and sure I coul

People protest the Google Bus because cities let them use public bus spots and because big tech companies high pay is contributing to gentrification. It doesn't have anything to do with high efficiency and competency as a currency.

I can't imagine government employment and software engineering culture ever meeting. In a government job seniority and time in job counts more than competence. You sit on your ass for long enough and you get more for it. In the Bay Are

Nice, but the white iPhone home button looks a little weird. Otherwise super cool.

That's pretty cool stuff, I like being able to see at a glance which elements have events on them, wow. The Firefox developer tools are nice. Outside developer tools Firefox is missing HTML5 directoryReader support and Chrome style scr

The thing about global warming that I don't know and would like some answers on is how bad is it going to get? Is the worst case scenario mass-extinction? It doesn't seem like we're getting anywhere with reducing carbon emiss

The LED doesn't help with snapshots though. The light would come one and go off pretty quickly and you'd have to be looking at it to notice.

I use Shush on my mac to toggle the microphone. It may be possible to bypass it, but I doubt it would be. It's on the Mac App Store, by the same people who made Divvy.

It was a bizarre idea, in step with the tone-deaf nature of Google's leadership which seems to exhibit traits of megalomania. I like ambitious projects, I like people creating new things, but some of the words that come out people&#x27

Net neutrality is about the desire of ISPs to get paid from both ends of a connection. ISPs want to get money from consumers for getting access to content producers and service providers and from the latter in turn for their content being m
