As a liver transplant recipient (7.5 years out), I find how transplant patients are stereotyped in this somewhat informal article a bit misleading. First, transplants are about as close to a life-changing miracle as you can imagine. By whic

A forecast driven watering algorithm can look for rain in the immediate future, rather than the current state of the ground. It can also change the duration of watering based on temperature and relative humidity. RainMachine does that while

I think this is an interesting idea, but I don't know how well it scales.i think it is a high bar for individuals to explicitly manage every single donation of personal data. What I have thought might work is that individuals could don

The term light field display includes lenticulars and parallax barrier displays (and holograms and volumetric displays). They are all different ways of carving up, sweeping out, or multiplexing a light field.

I was agreeing with your comment until the last sentence. Wealth is stable access to money, which is a fungible resource. Used appropriately, it can provide access to stability that would otherwise be inaccessible. Without such a resource,

"Rsyncing the directory itself" means making a copy of the directory node (the root of the tree) and naming it with the original name in the new location. That is different than taking the children of the source directory and copy

Rsync has "weird" syntax for a reason. Unlike other unix-like commands, it treats trailing slashes as significant. If a directory has a trailing slash, it means "contents" of the directory". No slash means "the

GE controlled the patent, not Bill. He was also very happy when the patent expired. I would also argue whether it was obvious or not. At the time it was developed, not that many people were doing surface reconstruction of volumetric data. B

The looking Glass display is horizontal parallax only (HPO). HPO is a common information reduction method in the 3D display world. Most holographic stereograms, all rainbow holograms, and all 3D lenticulars are HPO. Occlusion, horizontal mo
