I used this a while back when I was researching a way to help people with macular degeneration. I'd created some visual distortions which could be applied to a VR headset (if you had eye-tracking information) which I hoped would improv

'it is generally well-known that gifts/free things are never really "free"' Although for some definition of altruism, this could always be argued to be true, I think this misses some nuances. If you give to charity

If you assume K is unchanging, yes. Like if it were a fixed point on the board.

I didn't think that was possible. Otherwise it would make determination of a fair price very messy -> In the extreme facebook could set an arbitraily high price if they didn't want to change their business model.

I agree although it is interesting to consider that even very coherent light would probably not produce a diffraction effect visible to our eyes.

Actually the authors point would stand even for a perfectly smooth window pane. The point is that as the thickness increases the length scale over which light goes from constructive to destructive interference reduces, and as this happens y

This is almost a shame. If the memory is well below it's expected life then it seems like a good thing to reduce electronic waste by recycling. It seems like detection would only discourage this.

It's clearly a social argument, along the lines of: why should you get to live there just because you earn more? It comes down to what you think money is for. In Europe the general consensus is that there are constraints the effects mo

To add to this: I would start with basic analogue electronics as it forms the basis of everything else on this list. I found https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:MITx+6.002.1x_1+2T... reasonably good for this. Lea

it would be interesting to see multiple views at the same time, like how when we try to represent 3d shapes in 2d (think mechanical design drawing, archetictural drawings, etc)

Did you read the article? They are making the case that communities are using early marriage as a way of covering up rape in places where underage sex is legal (or at least overlooked) if the person is married. Hence banning it would reduce

the kodi addons I've seen tend to connect to websites which host the content and display ads. Given that these don't involve seeding does that mean that the viewers aren't violating copyright, only the hosts?

This is an insanely long shot, but any chance you'd consider a UK intern? I think I'm very well suited, but realise that you probably neither offer visas nor internships.

Possibly slightly different, but my dad used to amuse himself by trying to convince me of whatever nonsense poped into his head at that moment. My older siblings, who had had the same treatment earlier, joined in and would verify anything h

Hmmmmm, that's a really good point. I suppose I agree that in general an argument that there is worse shit in the world is probably a bad reason to ignore other problems. In this case however it'd be difficult to do anything about

You could make it so that blank pixels are free to draw on, but it takes longer to redraw subsequent times. This would encourage the board to get filled up even with a small number of users, but would eventially allow things to be "loc

The key difference here is in the probabilities. For every witch or communist accused, approximately none were actually witches or communists. That is simply not true for harrassers, for instance the estimated false accusation rate among ra
