The foundation issues grants, and all of this is public information. Can you point to which grants you have a problem with and why? https://www.gatesfoundation.org/how-we-work/quick-links/gran... Some of my friend

That's a bit like not writing any new code unless you fix every single bug in the existing code. The counter-argument being that newer code will improve the design or fix some architectural issues, or handle upcoming feature requests b

Well, there are many topics that we do science with, and which have multiple variables that we can't always control for, especially if you're doing survey studies for health, or disease or other macro-level stuff. It seems like th

I think the point is that Google wants fuzzy boundaries between things that were never fuzzy to begin with, until they started confusing people - whether they intended to or not. If you asked any person- How do go to your favorite website

That's the nerd pacifier. They will remove those flags eventually as they have always done.

I disagree. Given their history and given their capability, I give them an excellent chance to hang on to their current dominant position. They're still producing drool worthy glass.. the RF 28-70 F/2.. the RF 50mm 1.2 is the tits

Well,.. the government is taking drug addiction seriously, so on principle I don't see why tech addiction should be a-priori excluded from discussion. I'm sure good people on both sides can disagree as to the measures that need to

Looks like you have a good plan there :)

Yeah, I think you are forced to re-train how you pickup and use the phone. An older non-smartphone could be easily picked up by grabbing the entire girth of the phone. With smartphones, people learned to pick it up using the side edges with

How are they put to shame by everyone else on AF? Could you be more specific?

Because they want you to buy their expensive, professional EOS Cinema products for video use which have all the features you need.

What is your budget?
133.
by la_barba 7y ago
Well, the EOS R and RP are entry level cameras. They have yet to release a professional series mirrorless camera. Comparatively, the 1st gen Sony mirrorless systems were pretty bad. They had tiny bodies that overheated, had poor battery lif

Financial reports don't demonstrate anything. You're providing an explanation without actually demonstrating that the provided explanation is the real reason. A shrinking DSLR market has been predicted by analysts (and manufacture

You forgot one qualifier, the most expensive -professional- cameras. Different professionals have different needs. Every camera is designed with a usecase in mind. Off the top of my head professionals photographers need: * rugged tank-like

Can you specify what you mean by high ISO performance? Do you mean read-noise or do you mean DR or something else? Canon is very competitive in read-noise and DR. Yes AFAIK they don't have dual-gain in their professional series, but th

by la_barba 7y ago
While it may appear so from a retail consumer standpoint, I don't think Canon is lagging behind in tech from an IP and R&D standpoint. The thing is they make the sensor themselves, and the fabs and tooling is super super expensive.

Sure, but there are several arguments for doing code reviews/QA/etc that are already convincing. Its interesting.. but I guess I don't see how we can use this new way of looking at code transformations to our benefit.

You can avoid this by not recommending products that are fulfilled by amazon.

Its possible to me the auto-play setting something that is enabled voluntarily by the user. This would solve your problem.

Google could have designed the system where each claim must be specific to a video url, time, and duration. (I think they have made changes recently to do that, but I'm not sure if they're active) That way the copyright owners are

by la_barba 7y ago
Hmm, but how do you establish whether a piece of code is a liability? Do you account for QA finding no issues, or do you weigh it against the number of years its been used in production, or do you consider that it was written by expert rath

I fully agree. I'm just pushing back against the sentiment of shitting on the little guy, because of a personal opinion that what this person is doing is vapid or devoid of value to me.

I suppose you could do the same with Amazon referral links to products that your team has personally reviewed?

I don't want to do math with flawed data. Every minute of uploaded content is not going to face copyright strikes, and does not need to be reviewed.
