It definitely constructs a face, but how accurate is it? Would be interesting to see a measurement of error against a known result. Maybe try rendering an image of a 3d model of a face, then attempt to reconstruct it from the rendered ima

Having tried Atom, it's the main reason I stuck with Sublime. Somehow, even typing was slow in some larger files...

Yeah that seems like a prohibitively high apparent social cost.

And what happens if I call to unfreeze but have lost the PIN? Can I never get a loan again for the rest of my life? Or is there some way around the PIN - perhaps only requiring the already leaked information?

Or at least, it is often prohibitively difficult to do so.

"Fixed rate" mortgages in Canada still need to renew every five years, even on a 30 year amortization. As a result, people who bought homes in 2012/2013 will be affected by rising rates as well as a new affordability test. Th

I'd be surprised to get more than 3 or 4 frames. But 4 thoughtfully selected frames can still convey some pretty cool action!

I'm not 100% sure, but it sure looks like the shape is designed to result in equal strain/deformation throughout the structure. Imagine the structure is sliced into horizontal layers. Each layer needs to support its own weight as

Would you say that switching to Gimp added to your professional toolset, or enabled you to do anything that you weren't able to before? Does it make you more competitive professionally?

I've had a few of them, and the smell was the most noticeable difference from real beef. At least in cooked form, the smell is more distinctly of beans, not cat food.

I couldn't stand this layout. The entire change was driven by the soft-key function row, which was pretty awful. The 1st gen X1 Carbon had a fully functional keyboard with no need for soft keys, and it worked perfectly, so the frustr

Really sad about the loss of the blob emojis. Will probably have to root my phone to use a third party emoji switcher app to preserve them.

I think people who write malware to steal banking info should be prosecuted when possible. It will be interesting to see whether this goes to trial and if so how solid any evidence against him is. However, I do not doubt that a mix of fea

Hmm, this seems to lock up & crash my whole browser (Chrome 59, windows, nvidia graphics) when I try to run any of the examples. It gets past Downloading Network, then gets about 5% through Compiling before getting stuck.

The base Model S does not match the range or features of the as-shown Model 3.

That's a super interesting concept. I'm also surprised by the complexity. Why does a low-power LED need a programmable microcontroller, multiple capacitors, a pair of mosfets and an inductor?

Well, at least of nearly all the dead NFL players whose families suspected they had CTE, they did. As noted in the article, "there’s a tremendous selection bias".

Looks like they're doing 3 minutes per dip - that sums to over two days of continuous dipping.

99% of the electricity in Quebec is from hydroelectric dams. This is how the costs are kept so low, and you don't really have to worry about resulting greenhouse gas emissions.

I found that strange as well. Chip and signature, or swipe and pin are the common options. Both miss the entire security aspect of chip and pin.
