I wonder what size a community needs to be for UBI to function in a self-sustaining way. I'd like to see some game theoretical research into it too if anyone has pointers?

if you shoot lots of 4k video or raw photos, you can easily burn through a couple of 64gb sd cards on travels

Some viruses, like HPV, are transmittable and can cause cancer
844.
by dharma1 9y ago
Cancer is a bad word for this for many reasons. Word choice aside, I agree many ICOs are scams, and in general I think it's not a great idea to give someone very large sums of money up front to build something, with very few strings at

I believe that was one of the questions Zuck got asked in Congress - why not make paying for FB (and it's subsidiaries) optional in exchange for an ad free, non-data harvesting experience. I get it that many people want the service fre

Also experienced this today - was doing user testing on an app, and suddenly our AWS hosted app that uses Route 53 stopped working, didn't resolve. When I checked http://status.aws.amazon.com/ it showed all green for R

How high dynamic range? Would be great to see some examples, nothing on the site

Would be nice to: 1) show something happen in the UI straight after clicking play - there might be several seconds latency before it starts streaming now 2) pause any currently playing track after clicking "Play" on another track

Timber frame houses will last a long time if properly maintained. The main source of decay is water or condensation getting into the structure and causing rot/mold - if you make sure that doesn't happen, the houses last for 100+ y

Always wondered, given the profitability, as shown in this article (mainly due to Chinese electric scooters being cheap) - why no scooter sharing startups in London? Does the subsidised bike sharing scheme make anything else unattractive?

What's the best way to learn how to debug faults in electronics? Audio circuits in particular?

Sailfish OS also has really good touch selection, where it zooms in. Much better than Android or iOS

Try changing the pitch by more than +-10 as well, it breaks up quite amusingly

Good points. Lightfield tech will be common on day but that's probably at least 5 years from now

Riot is perfectly usable now, works on all the platforms you mentioned and it supports video and voice calls. I'm helping them make the UX/UI more pleasant to use

Monzo for personal and Tide for (small) business. Though I probably would only use Tide as a business expenses account, as they're not FCSC protected

"Samsung has been able to improve its OLED technology with every iteration twice or somecase three times every year." Isn't the only noticeable difference between S8 and S9 AMOLED screens 15% increase in brightness?

What's the missing half?

It's what happens at large orgs, esp ones with leadership problems - they can't move fast to improve products, even when something is obviously not working. The only thing I use Siri for is on the desktop for starting apps - I&#x2

Yeah, it's getting closer. With fast enough sensor they could probably do HDR+ on video too, like HDRx on RED cameras. If they had a 10bit HEVC video profile for recording, they could store more of that extended DR too. Some things wil

Google's computational photo/video expertise is so far ahead of any traditional camera manufacturer.. I wish they would release a prosumer Android camera with a 1"+ sensor, perhaps m43 mount, 10bit video and large bitrates -

It doesn't sound like something non-state actors could manufacture easily. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9OOLBN0j7c Makes me wonder what kind of people have devoted their lives to developing nerve toxins like this.

Yeah I know what you mean. The "sweet spot" on some synths. Just don't know how to pose that as a supervised learning problem, or what it would do (limit the range of parameters?) I'm not sure the amount of parameters in

by dharma1 9y ago
I agree with most things you say, but "you can't get a bad sound out of it" is pretty subjective, especially when it comes to synthesis. So how would one define the training set of "good sounds" for supervised trai
