Firstly DCPs are not wrappers that contain MXFs. From what I remember DCP predates MXF.

From memory (its been 8 years since I've actually dealt with creating them) They are effectively zip files that contain JPEG2000, lots of metadata and some sound tracks.

Crucially, the authoring and encryption are controlled by a central authority. Each projector needs to be registered with a KDM to make sure it can receive decryption keys. http://www.artsalliancemedia.com/software/screenwriter#featu... is one system for managing projectors.

Getting a distribution DCP is pretty hard, also Keys are short lived. But, someone people create non-encrypted DCPs for various purposes.

If its a MXF, then that suggests its either from a finishing house, or more likely a producer's laptop. (ie how wolverine got leaked, a pissed up producer leaving an unencrypted laptop on a plane. Even though their flight was pointless, as there are many remote viewing systems about. )
> world not through the eyes of your ego

in most cases, you don't see much of the world past you own eyes anymore, but some "fantasy", which is why it is aptly called an hallucinogen. It messes with your head and you have a hard time making sense of the world so you revert to some basic notions of knowledge, that appear like an epiphany because they are that basic. I don't think these are new found insights and good luck if these facilities of your brain are damaged in the process. It is called acid for a reason.

Edit: A neat analogy would be fuzzing a production system. Not only that, it is randomly deleting files and flipping bits of memory to see how robust the system is. If your system is error free, the fuzzing is not a problem, but every system has bugs.

Aside from the shock value of this, this underlines that there are feedback systems that we have kicked in. I think the science is not clear, we are still learning about the effects. Climate sceptics are right in a perverse way, we have no idea really what we have done.
Uploading a video to Youtube if you don't have permission of the rights holders is a very clear breach of copyright.

Downloading that video (whether by watching it on Youtube or by using a tool to download the video to watch offline) is, if you don't have the permission of the rights holder another very clear copyright breach.

There's some narrow exceptions for free use, or public domain content.

I'm surprised you think it isn't. In what country would that be true?

>Police told her she was very lucky he didn't die, as she was responsible for his well-being while breaking in.
I doubt that. Just because a police officer says sth doesn't mean it's true. Perhaps people sued in the past but lost in court.

Otherwise I could break in somewhere, hurt myself (there is always a possibility) and sue the owner of the house.
Unless the owner builds traps to severely injure anyone who enters the house even if there's no danger to residents, I cannot imagine a court deciding in favour of the burglar.

It may be different if you have a dog that is trained to injure/kill anyone who enters the premise. That could lead to a court case, e.g. if the dog injures a child who wanted to retrieve a ball from the garden and there was no warning sign.

Do you have any links for cases that were actually won by the burglar?
There's a balance here. I don't like the idea of talking without producing either, but using this as an argument to shut down all discussion about working environment isn't going to help matters.

Headphones are a big topic of discussion because default working environments are so far from what many of us find optimal (and, indeed, what seems to be empirically optimal if you look at the studies in Peopleware).
I work in the film industry, a 35mm full-aperture negative scan holds only about 2048x1556 pixels-worth, and even at that resolution the film-grain blobs are several pixels across (especially in the blue channel).

Ah the never ending lament about programmers asking for nice things. Sorry, $4k in capital costs for someone you're paying well into 6 figures for to make your business exist isn't that bad. A fast pc is necessary depending on what you're doing - making knowledge workers more comfortable effects their output.

The headline is incredibly misleading and looks like a misinterpretation by the Daily Mail (not known for their quality journalism in the first place).

The "200" figure refers to the concentration of methane in the released gas compared to the atmosphere, not the total amount released in the Arctic compared to usual.

Poor article.

EDIT: This HN post originally linked to a Daily Mail article with a bad headline. The Siberian Times headline is still misleading but not quite so egregiously wrong.
Anyone interested in such topics should check out geometric algebra, a.k.a. Clifford algebra. Start with http://geocalc.clas.asu.edu/pdf/OerstedMedalLecture.pdf

Matrices and trigonometry are in my opinion a pedagogically, conceptually, and practically poor way of understanding and using quaternions; furthermore, cross products (and the associated confusion about a right hand rule and polar vs. axial vectors and so on, not to mention a total failure to generalize to higher dimensions) need to vanish from the earth.

More generally, this is a topic that should be explained first using pictures, ideally interactive ones. The algebraic manipulations to formally prove what the pictures explain visually should just fill in the bookkeeping details.

Finally, perhaps the most important reason geometric (Clifford) algebras should be used for pedagogy, even if you plan to write code which only uses quaternions per se, is that they make the “sandwich” multiplication of versors as operators on vectors completely obvious as composition of reflections.
> Film has a lot of noise.

Film has grain, which is a type of non-chroma signal-dependent noise that is not unpleasant like chromatic signal-independent sensor noise or shot noise you get digitally in photography (not in movies, they have good lighting there).

In fact, grain is actually useful, as it's aesthetically pleasing in small amounts, can increase apparent sharpness. In fact it's so useful digital creations fake back in post-production a small amount of grain.

> The resolution is not as high as you are imagining.

The resolution of 4k projection is not as high as you are imagining either. It's just 4096x2160 lines (often less, depending on aspect ratio) or 8.8 megapixels.

In the best circumstances you can get 25Mpix of useful data from a 35mm frame shot on low grain stocks like 5203. In the worst circumstances you get 10Mpix. This is 35mm, The Hateful Eight was shot on 65mm stock, which has a camera frame surface are of 3.44 times the camera surface of 35mm film.

Either way, the resolution of 4k digital cinema is fine, I miss more the old contrast and gamut.

The thing is, that supplying a diesel truck to a rural community might dramatically improve living standards in the community. The damage done by burning diesel is small compared to the improvement of livelihood of dozens of people.

I would say, if you are worried about trucks polluting the earth, we should stop ordering shit online and expecting that every supermarket everywhere has all the freshest produce from every corner of the world. I'm willing to bet that the ecological cost of my local supermarket having fresh cherries from Chile or watermelon from Argentina(I'm in UK) is an order of magnitude greater than all diesel trucks used by 3rd world African villages combined.
You can only make use of the target flag when not making use of new bytecodes oder APIs introduced in a specific Java version.

Scala 2.12 is replacing some of their own code with Java 8 new features, so they rely on a Java 8 compatible JVM.

This will also prevent Scala 2.12 to target Android, because even Android N isn't 100% Java 8 compatible, specially the low level JVM features like invokedynamic and method handles are not supported on DEX format.

Say what you want about geometric algebra, if it has a least one merit, it's that it makes rotations in 3D space and their link with quaternions very simple to understand.

Also check out my implementation in Perl 6:

https://github.com/grondilu/clifford

With it, quaternions become:

use Clifford;

constant I = @e[1]*@e[2];
constant J = @e[2]*@e[3];
constant K = @e[1]*@e[3];

say I² == J² == K² == I*J*K == -1;

Fair enough. Your question makes sense then. The trouble is without security updates there is bound to be some exploit that will go un-patched so when support for bootstrap 3 finishes we will have to upgrade to 4 whether we like it or not.

We ran into this issue when looking for a place to buy. Options were either super expensive tiny apartment in the center or something cheaper but bigger a 10-15 minute train ride away. We looked at a place in "Enskededalen". Googling revealed people talking about how horrible it was, the crime that goes on, how unsafe it is, how they would never move here, etc.

Go to visit the place...and it seems perfect. In a block of houses facing a nice yard and playground as opposed to the road, large space with a porch and balcony, plenty of room for our cats, etc. But I was suspicious. This place was meant to be so bad!

After getting some more opinions we went for it and can honestly say I have no idea what people were so afraid of. The neighborhood seems very safe - children play outside alone, it's quiet, each little house block area takes care of their yard, etc. It is a more multicultural area than say Södermalm, but that is a positive. The most "unsafe" thing I've seen here is groups of teens on walks or having a smoke in the evenings (I was wary of them at first, but have since learned they're harmless) or local toddlers leaving their toy cars underfoot in the shared yard.

Personal opinion: they were criminal, and anyone without Clinton's level of political clout would have been vigorously prosecuted. As another example, consider Aaron Schwartz, who was hounded to death by the State (possibly not the FBI?) over Copyright infringement.

Yes, we should not forget that people adopted fossil fuels because it meant a great improvement in the quality of their lives.

You will find that Toyota comfortably holds this niche in most developing countries. Toyotas are reliable, and there's a glut of cheap Toyota spares due to network effects. The only advantage the Ox has over a Toyota Hilux is that it can carry about 800kg more (about double). On all other points, the Hilux is ahead or on par.
The WebRTC functionality isn't being removed, just the built in video chat/sharing that was powered by Telefonica.

> I work in the film industry, a 35mm full-aperture negative scan holds only about 2048x1556 pixels-worth

There are enough good 4k releases of classic movies to see this is not the case. You can compare the 4k and HD release (which is just under the resolution you provided).

I regularly scan Vision 3 film (movie stock) and Velvia 50 and Velvia 100 (E6). I scan it professionally at 10 Mpix, but when I have a good picture, I pay big bucks to have it drum scanned at 100 Mpix. Yes, it's not 100 Mpix, there's about 15-25 Mpix worth of detail there, but it's much, much more detail than the 10 Mpix scan.
Thanks, and yes, the whole ideas was to make it that anyone who's used Scratch (which covers a lot of the Pi community) would be able to instantly use PiBakery.

I am told that in some modules in the Cambridge undergraduate mathematics degree there are always questions that are trivial to solve using Clifford Algebras, but a complete pig in the usual formulations. I didn't take such a module so I can't comment from first-hand experience, but knowing some of the lecturers I can well believe it. The take-away is that they are a powerful tool in the right circumstances.

Whether they can replace the usual formulations in toto is another question, but they are certainly interesting.

What makes you say that? Like much of the Daily Mail, it seems to be sensationalised in a way that makes understanding the (probably important) content rather difficult. The headline is incredibly misleading, to start with.
YES.

Remember that the only condition for a star ship, is to be able to have thrust all the time. Even a very small thrust is enough to reach relativistic speeds, and therefore make the travel-time human-scale. FOR THE TRAVELERS!

Now, the problem is that unless the travelers include the trillionaire that will finance the projects, nobody will want to finance a travel, where the travellers reach the destination after their dead, and can give back news only after the payers' children are dead.

But travelling one year on board to reach Proxima Centauri (4 light years away) wouldn't even be tiring for the traveller.

(Ok, perhaps we could pay for this destination, after all, we'd get news about landing ten years later).
