Hellbanning? Wow. Talk about paternalism, judgment-elitism and power-madness. Hellbanning really has to be a method of last resort for users with who repeatedly come back with problems for the community and with at least 2 admins agreeing o

Wouldn't that reduce security? When only 1% of current miners contribute would it be possible for someone with control over a huge GPU cluster or botnet be able to attack the system?

I was refering to Lippmann holograms or interference colour photography ([1]). His technique from 1891 preceded the first "real" photographic film and is based on a standing wave pattern in the photographic emulsion. This hologram only work

The images are created by interpolation from an image consisting of discs. The raw data would look like this: http://www.eps.hw.ac.uk/~pf21/projects/page1/assets/good-fnu...

When miners can't produce coins anymore, will there still be enough honest people contributing compute to secure the transactions? Right now the deflation makes it very worthwhile for a miner to participate. Wouldn't transaction costs need

Cool! I only heard of Lippmann's holograms before. And now I would really like to see the 3D pinhole camera!

The mini reactors still have the same unsolved problem like current technology. The waste needs to be stored somewhere for thousands of years and it must be ensured that it doesn't diffuse into ground water. We can state with confidence tha

This is indeed an interesting topic. Especially in high numerical aperture objectives incredible things are possible. One can put a diffractive optical element infront of the sensor and obtain 25 instantaneous images, each at a different de

For the Kinect to work you need a surface where the infrared spot pattern is imaged. For most of the things we look at the Kinect will be sufficient. However one captures a lot more information with the light field camera. For example trans

Presumably the data format is based on their light field viewer: http://lightfield.stanford.edu/aperture.swf?lightfield=data/... (note this downloads 12 Mb of data) You can look at the source: http://lightfield.stanford.edu/aperture.html

There is a nice talk by Levoy. He is trying to build a motion camera: Why is Sports Photography Hard? (and what we can do about it) http://research.microsoft.com/apps/video/dl.aspx?id=146906 So for sports photography it seems very useful.

Related to this and presumably not common knowledge is that there was recently a breakthrough in camera CMOS sensor technology. A few companies now offer scientific cameras (price tag 10000 USD, for example http://www.andor.com/neo_scmos

Big lenses are always better as they collect more light. If one uses a 10M pixel sensor in a light field camera, one will have to reduce the resolution of the output image by a factor of 10 in both directions (depending on what microlenses

Mark Levoy (and his group) do all these things. However, if one wants to track through crowds one needs a much bigger aperture. So one would combine many small cameras into an array as opposed to a microlens array infront of the sensor.

Their method captures a light field instantaneously at the expense of spatial resolution. They place a microlens array where the film would be, followed by a sensor. Each microlens forms an disk on the sensor with angular light distribution

I'm not sure the propaganda that MS cash cow's Windows and Office would stop anytime soon. All this post-PC bs Stevie feed people through their extravagant TV ad campaign surely have brainwashed the uneducated self-proclaimed pro-sumers.
