Dismissive and ignored? Did you read what he submitted to them? It made no sense. He vaguely stated that there was a bug and his education. His bug report was nonsensical. I am not even slightly surprised they ignored it. And he violated th

I honestly can't see how this made it through the peer review process and the editorial review process with out being noticed. Were the reviewers also not doing their due diligence?

So I read (on wikipedia so not the best source) the key tenants of the espionage act which he was found guilty under. I find it to be written generally enough to be ambiguous in a similar vein to recent laws such as the NDAA not really defi

I have commented on these issues before and I feel like this one is being blown way out of proportion. We all understand why DRM is there. It is there so you can't rip the stream and save it and redistribute it. But here is the thing t

This idea is great, but it ignores on very real problem. Namely that you still have not addressed the issue of bandwidth. Take for example your 4th of july example. If I were to do that upload the way you describe, I would already be over m

I don't really understand the problem here. IMO Netflix is doing the fairest thing it can with DRM. It isn't selling us rights to own these videos/movies. It is granting us the right to stream the content, and doing so at a r

Japanese internment camps were not a fantasy land. The US exhibits fascist qualities all the time. We don't usually call it that but there are certainly examples which could be considered that way.

I think you may have missed my point slightly. Often critique of feminism is held as inherently sexist whether or not that is true. People view the skeptical attack on female privilege and/or rejection of certain aspects of claimed mal

I assume you wanted to point out the sexism part. Is there sexism in the "skeptic" community? Certainly, just as there is in just about every community. The assumption this author seems to be making is that feminism is beyond repr

This would reduce the frame rate, and even HDR has its limitations. But who knows. Maybe.

Does anyone know how he addressed the issue of bright lights hitting the camera sensor? or too low of light levels for he camera sensor to pick up quickly? I imagine that was the reason a $70,000 dollar 3d radar was even used in the first p

It would be nice if they gave some sort of citation or linked to some sort of scientific paper.

This is exactly what I have been telling people. She knew exactly what she was doing.

Sorry I just found the whey powder option, but it just replaced it with a different protein powder. Can I remove protein powder all together?

by short_circut 13y ago
It would be nice if there were a few more things I could filter out. Like pork and bacon I feel like should be separate categories, I have no interest in using Whey protein powder, and I hate cilantro, but none of these are options to add o

I imagine you could just use a 3d camera to figure out how far away things are. Or at least approximate it.

This suggests to me that with a camera attachment and creative use of a hat and pipes and glue the author could probably convert their world to a 3d one. Some hackers should get on this. If I had the knowledge to do so I would certainly wan

This is so much more challenging than regular tetris!

Exactly! I imagine they have some way of filtering this out that NYtimes hasn't gone into. But who knows?

I am a bit concerned about how this will play out with the various drug conspiracies. For example many many people search up antivaxx literature under things like "vaccines autism". How do they distinguish real results from popular myth res

I find claims of such to be somewhat questionable. Even if we could enable Terabit speeds over wireless it does not good if the hardware receiving it is incapable of handling that much data in that short of time. I mean we get max hard driv

I feel like MOOCs are part of a Universities cost cutting measure aswell as an advertisement for it. Many universities are moving their introductory courses to online. By using MOOCs they don't have to have as many students in class, they c

If you think about it, it is technically a hack. They sort of hacked the adoption process. From my understanding usually adoption is significantly more difficult.

Actually if it was homeopathic we really can be certain that it would do nothing at all. Maybe the person you were responding to didn't quite state it clearly. I don't believe either that commenter or the article refereed to it as a homeopa
