Yeah, there does seem to be a little uncanniness to the lighting a la hdr. They feel painted. I'm curious how much post-processing went into each of these.

I'm not sure what your definition of a "trick" is. The quality of the results varies greatly depending on the algorithm used, which is maybe why you don't have a good impression of it. This one aligns the exposures and d

HDR isn't a gimmick, it dramatically improves the picture quality. You get the effect of a super-long exposure on noise level and dynamic range, but with image stabilization, and a compromise on the moving objects in the scene.

Of course you can, but it requires accepting that copyright is an imperfect practical compromise between opposing goals, and not some platonic ideal.

Any of them? I'm certainly not going to give you flak for being a year or two out of date. If you want an argument, that's the canonical one.

Have you read the IPCC report? There's nothing I can write in an HN comment that would make a better argument than that.

This has happened several times before, and killed much of the life on earth. In a bit of cosmic irony, the life that was killed in previous anoxic events is what turned into the fossil fuel we're burning today. https://en.w

What's interesting is that genetic groups and cultural groups are so correlated in India that I doubt a population study would be able to disentangle them. http://www.unz.com/gnxp/the-aryan-invasion-was-not-fantasy
