These are artworks, and even though they are made with limited technology they are built to those constraints. You can't update the medium and not lose the essence of the piece. You don't make super mario more appealing to modern

If we cure aging and live for centuries we will still be subject to accidents while we are trying to work out how to live without a body at all. I would be interested to know how likely it is to get maimed or killed during this extended per

Yes that's true. I meant making education more accesible in terms of making it free not making it less difficult. It becomes cheaper for people to give it a shot and more people end up graduating. It's true that this devalues the

Coming from a place with free university education I don't think that is right. More accessible university education, more people get university education, this raises the bar in all fields. HR still prefers somebody who went through t

Is that a discount price? I think one month is over 50e.

Or we could stream 2K with less compression. They show 2K in most cinemas and it looks pretty decent with low compression.

Camera projections are very common technique in computer graphics and software often refer to this kind of terminology. When I try to get better understanding what they actually mean I often find wikipedia articles lacking. It's like l

I think it would be decent tradeoff to not be spammed and datamined (although datamining certainly is possible as it is an open system).

This is a good topic to discuss, but terrible article. They are planning on running a test on some basic income schemes[1]. Finland is going through austerity measures and I don't think basic income fits in to current political landsca

This explanation is wrong. The effect is very visible also in Europe where tv is 25 fps and no 3:2 pull down is performed to 24fps material. The soap opera look came from the video camera which operated similar way as video playback. Althou

But those are interface problems. Nothing really to do the internals being software driven. I think many modern synth companies have reverted back to one knob - one function design.

You might be right, but I don't know if that counts as black swan. Greece and euro troubles were mainstream headlines five years ago spring of 2010. Through out the years the situation has been evolving and nobody of course knows how i

That's old school. I remember hearing that similar was done already during prohibition where they used some sort of glue in torpedo which would release a small buoy after few days so the lost booze could be found.

I have wondered about this as well. Maybe the audience does not care so much and thus it makes no sense stay at stuff that can be pulled off with budget. That said there is more and more things that can be done well every year. I think some

Having time and mind for saving is an excellent place to be. There are no guarantees with these things. As you say the only sure thing is that inflation will destroy significant portion of your savings in only few decades. If you think thin

It's not like they create the film and then push render though. I assume these figures include massive amount of iterating in different work stages. So if you are interested in only rendering the end product you will get there a lot fa

Those one frame flashes are easy to see though (which makes me wonder where the previous result of 100ms treshold for image recognition came from). Probably coincidence resulting from similar frame rates, but I think movie projectors were r

I worked remotely previously and figured that the best way to stay in the loop was just have the line open all the time and listen to the office chatter like a radio. I had small screen in the corner of office that showed when I was sitting
