Another point is that displays can never provide real color representation anyway. The process flow goes from converting the full spectrum lights in nature into color filtered photons captured on a camera sensor with an artificial color pro

Photographers and filmmakers also make art in their own style. There is no such thing as a perfect representation of the world on film: they are compressing the dynamic range and adjusting the color/brightness profiles through the film

When I think of top public high schools, I include magnet schools, which are also only limited by travel time, as long as you gain admission.

Same story with me. My Galaxy S7 is 4 years old. It's still very fast (never had to reset it) and still gets security updates (last one in August) although no more OS updates. If I played AAA games on my smartphone, I might want an upg

Yeah, I had to break myself of the habit of leaving the water running. When I was younger and less patient, I would soap and rinse each item in sequence, so that I got the sense that I was making progress. But as I got older, I switched to

I actually don't recall ever seeing a human do dishes that way except on TV. I'm also not sure that it saves water if you are filling the sink and then still using water to rinse the dishes, at least as compared with my method. Fi

I managed to tune my regular drop valve system so that a short press gives a small flush and a long press gives a full flush. It was a delicate matter of balancing the chain length so that the flapper doesn't get pulled high enough to

I would imagine dishwashing water use varies a lot depending on habits. I have refined my dishwashing over the years to this procedure: 0. use aerating faucet head to increase spread of water. 1. Short splash of cold water to remove stuck-o

In this age of the internet, memes get translated pretty quickly. I'm curious whether you found some definitive source that tracked this meme to its origin in a Chinese story.

For me, when I take melatonin, I feel sleepy within about half an hour, and if I don't go to sleep then, the sleepiness will pass and the melatonin would be ineffective. So I take it about half an hour before bedtime so that I am in be

Wow, I never knew that there was a medical diagnosis for being a night owl. Without external forces, my sleep schedule would naturally drift until I am going to bed ~4AM-6AM. Melatonin has been a great help in making sure I get enough sleep

I've come across a few foods that appear to be heavily acquired tastes, and if you did not get used to it as a kid, it is very difficult to change your tastes. Licorice is definitely one for me, it makes me feel like I am eating tree s

I suppose it's true that spaying and neutering is technically disabling an animal. I guess not having pets would be the best solution for people who consider spay/neuter harmful. But for people who are okay with the idea of pets,

Definitely collectivism is not good for anyone not following the goals of the collective. The idea that collectivism is "better for us" is a collective point of view, that doing something optimal for the most of us is better than

Sounds like female octopus with the gland removed could be a good pet. It's like spaying a cat.

Ah, then when you were referring to the ant example, you are assuming the constraint that the ant is moving only along the string. You did not specify that constraint in your original phrasing, and I imagined it as -- if the string was roll

The current political climate is the policies enacted by politicians and the populace's reactions to it. It is not static, and it changes with the politicans in power, the laws in effect, and the political mood of the populace.

I know it's against HN policy to complain about downvotes, but I think your response is not covered under that rule in that you are looking to learn, not to vent. You have my upvote, at least.

If you choose not to decide on a political stance, you have chosen to accept the current political climate as it is.

Is this an actual part of Hikaru no Go, or is it fan made? It doesn't seem to fit with the style of the story (although I've only seen the beginning few seasons of the animation).

I think the difference is that, in the ant example, it would appear that the ant can teleport if you are looking at it from a 1D perspective, while in the 3D ball, the ant would be moving through space in a continuous fashion. Now since we

Yes, I suspect that people moving out when they are 18 is an anomaly, due to a special time of increased prosperity, and the recent events are simply just the start of a return to the norm.
