an organization is not a human, despite what people say. A single human may be absolutely willing to act, but the organization won't - i.e. they will not be allowed to act by their bosses. Everything else is nitpicking and blame shifti

the picture we're talking about is taken at night, and looks like a painting, this has nothing to do with bokeh or the need to edit a picture taken with a large sensor mirrorless camera

the software magic "just" takes raw images and make something with it. photographers prefer retaining the raws and do the something themselves on a fast computer. Now, there's some good use cases for it but I guess the tradeo

I think the photo of the woman is terrible. I don't blame the phone for it, its very hard to achieve with small sensors, and the iphone is probably the best of the bunch. But it doesn't make the picture quality near "good-eno

well its interesting to see that their interest is not the users at all, but the money. they've become a servant of Google and they do not want this to stop. Basically Mozilla is not independent and is too scared to be.

id also say it works out okay. its just long and tedious and it feels more painful than it should - but really its not all that bad in general. I see very toxic people being rejected that think its because of their gender/color/wh

Medicine is definitely politics when its uncertain how much certain drugs really help. One the one hand you could say: WHO has an unreviewed study that says "china early vaccine tests good, usa drug bad" and Gilead has a bunch of

it depends on so many things that we probably dont fully understand though. Each blood test I get i'm within range (pretty much right in the middle) for everything. I take zero supplements. I eat a variety of things over the course of

Disinformation. Some people have a stuffed nose and cant smell as well from that, many people can't smell or taste with the flu without a stuffed nose, way before covid was ever a thing...

This has happened to me countless times with the flu where i can't smell or taste anything at all.

The article does not say everybody. It says Facebook and AirBnb. It also specifically say many will still have to pay the tax. Where did you see everybody? Obviously to me FB and other big companies get a favor, small developers can shove i

The families of the workers who made 200k however.. well they can f* right off and find a new job. Their family doesn't matter.

I suspect she's been in there for a very long time, is tired, and just want to cash out. She sees her friends working for the likes of Google who made 50+ millions during certain years and see her small 2.5M as nothing. She's a la

The CEO is the Chairwoman and pretty much owns the Board. i.e. the CEO will not be laid-off. They can step down, if they want to. I'm pretty sure they want to milk this to the end though, there's a reason their salary skyrocketed

reducing their 2.5M a year salary would definitely be unfair for their family. Think of the children!!

I think some of the "fabled antics" are necessary for success. Tim Cook simply continue on what's already been built and would have to be really bad to really fail in that period of time. In my opinion executive skills are of

I don't think it's a bad suggestion, though their plan is most likely to influence people to complain to Google. Same as politics, you want a maximum of people to be convinced by your idea/opinion/etc to make it happen f

This works pretty well (I use it) because it removes recommendations and search results (which are really recommendations) that are artificially inserted/ranked at the top every single time. That said I don't think it's what

Tiktok by design has more fresh content and by being newer is not gamed as much as Youtube's algorithm. With enough time Tiktok will look as bad. I.e. I don't think it's algorithm related "for the most part"

I don't think it's bad actually. I mean the recommendations could be far better, but this specific case isn't bad. Say you go on reddit/r/iloveredcars - all you will see upvoted (ie ... RECOMMENDED by users) will be

I wouldnt be surprised if it gets banned. In case of cabin decompression the full face masks can be quite hard to remove and you may actually die. Now, that's very unlikely to happen, but apparently that's more likely than catchin

There is such a thing as minimum wage. Flipping burgers, serving coffee or using a wipe all cost the same minimum wage. And that adds up fast...

I always find these stories interesting, because, frankly, these cameras I'm sure DO help catch criminals very effectively. However, they also allow very effective privacy violations of course. Because of this there's no perfect o
