Could not find a refresh rate in the documentation, or how many colors it can create. I also saw something about it having to compensate for temperature with 7 different maps from 0°-50°C. You can see it on page 8 of the User Manual.

Maybe if Netflix had movies and TV shows that I actually want to watch, then I would stay up to watch them. Its become a recurring joke that every time I think "Hey this movie looks good, I'll check if its on Netflix", the m

Yeah, but the whole world has to collaborate to do this. That is the collective action problem, and that is where my doubts lie when people say "we can manage this".

> Only the threat of an "independent" taking control of the climate if the rest of us don't act can break the impasse. Honestly, I don't even think that would force the world to act. Human caused climate change is th

No, that would be helicopter parenting. A parents job is to teach the child how the world works and how to deal with its shortcomings using that bank of experience. Not to make decisions for them or shield them from risk at the expense of

You misunderstood my comment. I said "why discourage them?", not "push them to become programmers". The parent I was responding to made it seem like he/she would want to actively steer their daughter away from pro

Counterpoint: If not you, then who? Your daughters could be part of a cultural shift with respect to the tech workplace, so why discourage them?

I'm not sure about the increase since 2000 (could be better detection methods), but the military is known to use a bunch of toxic chemicals. On the motorcycle forums I frequent I have heard more than a few times about how "The st

This is off the mark and here's why: The schools wouldn't be paying them, private businesses would be paying them for endorsements. If the schools were paying them, then talking about fairness between sports (Football vs Swimming

Well, to be fair after California passed this a few other states indicated they were looking into similar legislation. I think that is what prompted the NCAA to declare this as quickly as they did. I do think even if was just California t

by jalgos_eminator 7y ago
The NCAA caved so fast on this. Now they're going to try to get ahead of it and get their cut of the endorsement money that the athletes will be earning soon. This would be a good time for athletes to come together and demand that th

It seems like we need a cultural shift here in America, but I just don't see it happening. People here expect to be able to drive their car anywhere and get there in a reasonable amount of time and be able to find parking nearby. Tha

The key word here is "urban". I ride my bike around the city core sometimes just for fun and I can easily keep up with cars because they are going so slow. Now imagine how many bikes you could fit on a two lane road vs how many

Flying vehicles are inherently more expensive than ground vehicles, so I doubt this will take off. And these things had better be completely autonomous or else you'll have to watch for bad drivers coming at you in three dimensions ins

Many parents give their children money, but I think its most often just a gift. Other than that, I have never heard of anyone lending more than $100 or so to another person that isn't in their immediate family.

There's only so much time each day, and a plane gets you to your destination so much faster. Trains? Maybe for shorter trips like NYC to Philadelphia or DC, but NYC to Seattle? A train going 150mph would take 19 hours for that trip n

We have fiber through Frontier in certain parts of the metro as well. A few years ago I lived in a place in Beaverton with a 30/30 fiber connection for $35/month. My parents have fiber as well. They were original Verizon FiOS c

I mentioned this to my parents and they basically brushed it off. We were told from middle school onward that you need a bachelors degree to succeed. We were even shown graphs about average lifetime earnings. High school students are woe

I don't see a problem here (other than the carbon emissions part). If you don't want crowds, don't go to Venice in July, don't go to Kyoto in the spring, and don't go to Munich during Oktoberfest. If you have schoo

I hate to sound defeatist, but we're screwed. Most economic incentives drive people to pollute more because oil based energy sources are still quite cheap compared to alternatives. It would take a herculean effort by all the major go

Wow, this seemed to work very well for all the words I typed in. I would love to try something like this for German, as it can be hard to pronounce those massive compound words they have. The one criticism that I have is that many of these

And you get 4g nearly everywhere! It blew my American mind to pieces. I would intentionally check my phone on random gravel roads in the mountains and there was almost always 4g. We even had a hiking guide take a phone call on a mountain

Yes, this is true. However, good quality photo editing became relatively cheap and convincing in more recent years. So now you don't need to be a nation-state to be able to convincingly pull something like that off. You can just be

That is an interesting point, but this already happens on voice calls. My grandma got a call a while ago from someone claiming to be my brother. Said he needed money because he was in a South American jail or something. Luckily shes stil

You know, I thought that deepfake videos would be politically weaponized when I first heard about them. However, after doing more thinking on this, we have had photoshop for 30 years already! We see photoshopped images all the time and wh
