Re: "intellectual property" and "piracy," I agree. The terms are problematic and misleading. How about "intellectual monopoly" and "infringement" as more accurate, neutral terms?

Dropbox supports block-level file sync. I'm not sure if Google Drive or OneDrive support that yet? It makes a big difference when working on large files.

Cool! I would like to be able to use j and k to navigate up and down when in item selection mode, a la vim (to avoid moving hand to arrow keys).

I think most proportional fonts work this way by default? At any rate, enabling tabular figures is a step I expect to need to take when I want rows of numbers to align when using an otherwise proportional font.

I agree, I don't understand the principle here. And what about things like the Horses of Saint Mark [0], which were looted by Venetians after the sack of Constantinople in 1204? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho

Granted, I'm not in the target market, but I don't understand why people keep buying RED cameras. They do stuff like this, charge an arm and a leg for what should be commodity parts but aren't, and claim dubious patent protec

On the other hand, wouldn't open sourcing the algorithm help accelerate the identification of possible exploits?

Yes, but repair shops should also be upfront that their parts are often (albeit maybe due to no fault of their own) noticeably inferior to original parts.

Maybe most of Europe. In Greece, my experience was that they seem to throw them everywhere, even if they tend to be largely ignored. For intersections where they really want you to stop, they’ll have two or three stop signs spaced maybe 40–

> It does make it a good thing for them. Which begs the question: why is it that you get to decide what is or isn't a good thing? Or: why shouldn't people be able to decide for themselves? The answers against the latter are, at

The claim you are responding to is that Resolve is used "at some step" in the vast majority of films, not that it is used specifically for cutting the vast majority of films. For example, Resolve might be used on a DIT cart for on

Many film scanners capture four channels of exposure data: RGB and infrared. Since developed film can block visible light but is more or less transparent to IR, that winds up being a pretty good map of where all the dust specks are. Which,

Well, I was responding to your argument that photos are not art because art requires skill and effort. It sounds like you are conceding my point that some photographs take more skill and effort than some drawings that you would consider art

If photography can be made with the click of a button, drawing can be made with the flick of a pencil. Good photography, like good drawing, does require both effort and skill—usually, if not always, quite a lot more than that of a toddler d

DaVinci resolve is free for non-commercial *and commercial* use and I would personally choose it over Premiere Pro (I switched from Premiere Pro to Resolve and later upgraded to Resolve Studio). The Studio version mostly adds stuff like rea

It seems Gizmodo might have gotten even that wrong. According to this (much more informative) page [0], I think they were dyed cyan (so dark areas absorb red), magenta (dark areas absorb green), and yellow (dark areas absorb blue). The Ital
