I find it impressive that they can find that tiny thing. I imagine it is some image processing algorithm that identifies anomalies in the texture. Or do they have humans scanning through each full res picture?

I write code primarily to analyze data from my experiments, and I do it primarily in Python. I have been told (and have read) repeatedly, that optimizing is to be done right at the end and only to optimize the inner most loop etc. From my r

For a second I thought - they are really diversifying, that's a totally different industry. And I started to have my doubts about how well this would work. I also began to worry that 80/20 had gotten into financial trouble. I use 80/20 ( ht

I don't know about the economic soundness of the argument, but it is so cold hearted that I would immediately emigrate from any country where this was the driving force behind government policy.

I think the advice I would give is, before settling into a course in life, go out and meet as many people you can. Try to just observe and see outcomes. That way you have an idea of what lives are like along certain paths (in general). Myse

It starts off interesting, but ends a bit abruptly. If possible, I would like a little more at the end about your thinking about all this, some philosophy etc. (Unless it was all a political jab). PS. Mitt wants what ALL politicians want. A

That was an awesome lecture. Thanks for the link. I did not know Hopper was such a humorous lecturer. The audience wasn't so lively - I guess they were mostly military.

"He blushed and said he had worked on it for nine years." There you have it folks! Sometimes you just work on something because you have passion. Life's too short not to do spend time on your passion. And, hey, sometimes it makes you famous

I'm not convinced by this explanation. A skilled person will do fine with a zip tie. Knots once tied should not be easy to untie in such applications - you don't want possibility of failure. An over tightened zip tie can be quickly cut away

Well, neither wikipedia nor the linked article say why zip ties aren't used. I don't know what material the lacing is made from, but unless it is a natural thread I'm sure zip ties can be made from that material. It might be that tension (w
