Interlace does not crossfade either :-) The purpose of interlace is to double the frames per second and capture motion better. The downside is some vertical resolution loss and some odd, but rarely seen, visual artifacts.

The image that tries to illustrate how frames per seconds affects motion is wrong. At least in my browser, it is crossfading between images in the 30 and 15Hz illustrations. That's not how video works: you show individual images sequen

Because even if life exists, we do not yet know where to look for it, or what we would be looking for. The surface is bombarded by UV and radiation, so very unlikely. Should we look in cliff shadows? Near ice deposits? The bottoms of crater

Sure. But there are a lot of areas where you just shrug and say "here be dragons" and move on. For example, consider the new for loop syntax for (auto item: a().b().c()) ... Does this make you nervous? It should. In the abo

Radiation not the issue, and is not mentioned in the study or article. The issue, if it exists, is theorized by some to be related to posture.

The Dumbarton Rail Corridor seems like a good idea, but it's not going to work. The problem is that Dumbarton commuters have a large "fanout"; that is, they come from all directions in the east side, and commute to locations

Yikes that sounds bad. Will need to see the details to be sure though. So here is how Santa Clara County handles the same issue already: every 10 years, they put on the ballot a one-cent sales tax. Along side it, they put a list of the proj

That's amusing but... those same users are likely to be using just altering their passwords a little like "passwd1" "passwd2", etc. You aren't gaining anything.

The 68K is a complex and full featured CPU, so there is a lot of tedious detail to be done that has nothing to do with the overall concept of "design a CPU". For example, there are so many instructions that it took a couple of day

The core problem is there is zero evidence that a whole-body scan saves more lives than are lost due to the radiation of a whole-body scan.

I have a new ford. There is a clearly labeled switch in the settings to disable data collection. I leave it enabled because they display critical parts of the data to me through a phone app.

Has to do that. Implemented a 68000. It was a stupid project. I learned nothing from the project that I had not already learned along the way with simpler toy instructional examples. And yeah, the double all-nighter and having one team memb

In the US system with malpractice lawsuits, there will be followup in most cases. US Doctors are still furious over the amount of unnecessary testing that occurred as a result of the "whole body scan at third party facility" fad f

Whataboutism is unwise. Also, a "blacklist" is little more than a name for a list of boycott targets. Boycotts, and the expression of who to boycott, are fundamental to liberty. That liberty results in people using liberty for goo

The First Amendment is so fundamental to my American understanding of liberty, that I'm dumfounded to learn that a developed country like France has a law that says it is illegal to write a paper summarizing someone's publicly exp

This is not a park though. It's the next valley over. The Park has been expanded many times, but Panamint valley has never been added. "The Southern part of Nevada" is not feasible. Lithium is concentrated among the salt of d

There's a lot of places like you describe :-) Palo Alto is oddly not one of them. I don't know why PA is so unusual, but it is. Might be the safety. Might be the disposable income. Might be the lack of mainstream-style shopping an

You honestly value WeWork as a workspace, so I have a question: given the loss rates of WeWork, are you willing to pay 50% to 100% more money in the future for the space? What is your feeling about the willingness of others in the space to

As a society, we've already dealt with an experience that is "addictive" where people "can't help themselves": drunk driving. Societal pressure plus draconian penalties has put an end to omnipresent drunk drivi

I won't disagree with your ideas in general because I just don't know. But in the case of Palo Alto, this isn't true. Parking is just hard enough to find that people generally do walk once parked. And there aren't enough

If you want a walkable downtown, you need to keep the stores alive, which means they need revenue. Especially true in a place like Palo Alto with its crazy rent prices.

Palo Alto uses a clearly marked zone system. So the two hours per day is per zone.

by cjensen 7y ago
For what it's worth: Palo Alto already tracks parking electronically. The good part of this is that you can't just repark in a different space to avoid a ticket; this encourages people to have a real plan for the entire time they

Sure. But the Bay Area has long had a large population of Indian immigrants without ever having a measles problem. This is almost certainly caused by anti-vax issues rather than immigration from poorly vaccinated countries.

Food used on farms decomposes directly into the atmosphere, including methane. Food sent to landfill decomposes poorly with an increased methane output, but some of the methane can be captured to generate electricity. I'm not qualified

Comparing Evernote to Dropbox is interesting to me. Evernote had a bad rep for reliability, and was messing about with very questionable enhancements to its product line. I switched to a Good Enough competitor after being an Evernote custom

My base assumption is that one goes on Amtrak for the scenery. So it's not at all like being at home; it's more like being at a scenic resort. Note that some people use Amtrak because they are afraid of flying. This way of looking

When evaluating the price, consider that it is also a hotel room and comes with free meals. Compare it to air fare + hotel room for X days + decent meals for X days and the price becomes less painful.
