But this would be their 4th car. Tesla has been in the car industry for 13 years, building brand awareness.

Additionally, a lot of the people still buy Teslas with the motivation of saving the environment and abandoning fossil fuels. Where as hopefully Apple would just make an all around superior car.

ReSpeaker Adds Voice Control to Anything
The author, Om Malik[0], is a well-known technology blogger, not a social critic. He just happened to publish this piece in the New Yorker.

He almost lost me at "I wanted to find out if there was a more authentic photo at the intersection of ..." Um, no, there isn't. Technology is irrelevant to authenticity. And if he is suggesting that filters make things inauthentic, I think he's full of himself. I despise the reduce-contrast-so-the-picture-looks-like-a-bad-pollution-day filter that's popular everywhere, but it's not inauthentic. No more than upping the saturation on landscape photos is inauthentic. Even Ansel Adams applied a lot of post-processing to his (analog) prints, as I found out when I read "The Print."

The actual 3D printing project is pretty interesting, though.

I'm trying to imagine what the unboxing experience of an Apple car would be like. :-)
The iPod seemed like a strange and expensive me-too product even after it was unveiled.
Haha. Politics as usual. They really want us to believe an engineer was the mastermind of this scandal? An engineer can't make these decisions without approval from above. Is pathetic. Execs should go to jail or lose their jobs and pay multi-million dollar fines at the very least. But guess what's gonna happen? They will be discussing this as a bad dream when they meet up on a skiing trip in Swiss alps next winter.
Yeah he's definitely not a social commentator, but there's still a big problem if you're writing about digital cameras and you don't know the difference between a lens and a sensor.
One thing is certain: it will not look anything like going to a Toyota dealership.
Yes but Malik still sounds like an idiot. A DNG is a specific file format that happens to mean digital negative, but he means RAW. DNG is a proprietary raw format from Adobe. And no we don't call our RAW files "digital negatives".
Apple has never been the first to a field - they just tend to get more right on their first go-round with it.
The difference is that people working on the Apple car project "struggled to explain what Apple could bring to a self-driving car that other companies could not". I doubt Jony Ive faced such a struggle with the iPhone.
Lets say we have total population P, fraction of rich q. Total wealth W, fraction of wealth possessed by rich x. Lets say we take txW and give to poor.

Share/poor : txW/P(1-q)

Fractional increase in wealth of a poor (FI) : ( txW/P(1-q) ) / ( W(1-x)/P(1-q) ) = tx/(1-x).

We assumed all poor have same wealth.

Some quick values for (t = .1 = 10%)
(x, FI)
(10%, 1.11%)
(15%, 1.275%)
(25%, 3.33%)
(50%, 10%)
(75%, 30%)
(90%, 90%)

Lets say 1%er have 25% of all wealth then poor will see 7.5x3.33 ~ 25% increase in wealth if 75% of rich wealth is taken.

Conclusion: everyone loses in a revolution.
I can accept that some people prefer the style of long-form journalism.

I just don't see how this detail adds to the story except to clue me in on the author's fetishes.

What "entire point" necessitates learning that someone's outfit is consistent with sexy-librarian roleplay, and is that purpose best satisfied by long-form journalism?
He is exactly the fall guy. Just a target for public persecution. The really responsible execs will get away as usual. Nothing to see the bad guy it's punished time to Move on.
"Venture capitalist predicts death of companies that compete with companies in his portfolio" I suppose could also be the headline.
I know that, but it's just one particular brand of raw image format. arw, cr2, crw etc. are also raw formats. I don't hear photographers ever speak of "shooting digital negative" -- you say "shooting raw."

Interesting. I overreacted. Still, there are some telling errors in this article. I admit I didn't read the whole thing, and my quick scan happened to hit the worst parts. Still, the article misses the main question -- are large sensors still required for high quality images?
I don't see why not, but what's the point. You either in, and can do X, or not. Can you clarify, please?

The article is liberal with its language, but makes good points backed up by facts. The point and shoot market was killed by the smart phone. The camera market has become the smart phone and the DSLR. DSLRs may be safe for awhile because they provide advanced features that are hard to match in a phone sized device, but as a non-professional photographer I find myself reaching for my phone more often than my DSLR.

I love using my DSLR, but I hate dealing with the workflow. If I take a picture with my DSLR I have to put the SD card in my computer, load up Lightroom, edit, export, and finally upload/share the picture.

How do I get Scrum Master Experience?
I work for a large organization that is taking a more Agile approach (slowly). We have a lot of projects coming up and I know they need Scrum Masters and I happen to be a Certified Scrum Master. Currently have no Scrum experience expect for the class, have plenty of Project Management experience.

So is there anyway for me to get experience? Anybody been in a situation like this before?

I'm not planning on leaving my job or organization but I would like to get involved in Scrum.

Thanks for the help in advance.
Until now, none of the service bureaus (Shapeways et al) have the proven capability to print a lens with this clarity and quality. This is one of the first posts I've seen that details how to do it.

You might be able to find someone with a Formlabs printer on 3D Hubs, but they would have to follow this guide to achieve the result. Resin is not cheap either. Overall cost including man-hours of manual testing might cost over $300 if you really wanted it!

Why does a $3M round automatically mean a doubling or tripling of their valuation after the fact? Doesn't it matter what they DID with the money? Is it just assumed their sales doubled or tripled and that they hired the right people?

A large part of the reasoning behind building many of the dams in the U.S. was flood control. In fact, I think the Hoover Dam was built for flood control reasons, and the hydroelectric part was the means to pay for it.

Enabling consistent river flows, which enables human settlement and farming in otherwise desert areas is definitely an environmental impact, but it's not clear that it is a bad impact.

And not burning fuel is certainly a positive in the eyes of global warming. All that fuel burning could result in rather permanent environmental changes of its own as sea levels rise, etc. If global warming is caused by CO2, then if we got all our power from dams instead of burning fuel, that seems like a place we'd like to get to right about now.

Nikon and Canon have also been stuck in a rut in recent years. Sony is coming out with all these new ideas (TLRs, the A7 series), while Canon and Nikon keep on churning out pretty much the same stuff they always have. Not only are they facing competition from smart phones, but on the higher end, Ricoh/Pentax now offers a full frame DSLR at 1/2 the price of similar Canon/Nikon models. The Pentax has some warts, but still, that's got to hurt Canon and Nikon a little.

Speech production is incredibly hard to fake at the moment.
I think large sensors are the only thing required for high quality images. Capture enough light data and we can do everything in software - no lenses. Focus on this this and that, Bokeh blur algorithm #5 here and there - voila.

Great questions.

The foundation is specifically designed to avoid problems like hostile takeovers, etc. In the agreement between you and the Foundation when you purchase a Greenspace, you get a veto voting right for any change in the purpose of the land. So, even if <bad company x> buys all the other ones, you can stop them.

Anyone can read the statutes here:

No government money. It is totally free market conservation. We buy the land, people choose to buy Greenspaces if they want to.

I agree that the smartphone killed the point and shoot industry, but I think it's pretty far overboard to say that Apple is revolutionizing the camera industry with the iPhone 7. They added another lens, which is certainly nice but not revolutionary, and they added some depth of field effects, which are nice but look pretty bad compared to actual shallow depth of field.

Edit: Also, you definitely don't need to fire up Lightroom to share photos from your DSLR; I think practically any DSLR can shoot JPG. Many DSLRs can also share photos to phones via wifi or Bluetooth these days. Mine didn't come with such a feature, but Nikon sells a $20-30 adapter that adds that capability.

I haven't played the new Doom yet, but having recently watched the sequel to "Indie Game: The Movie", is the destruction of the comm screen related to the hate in the movie of current games starting out with so much hand-holding and obligatory tutorials that break the immersion and thwart the joy of discovery?

> there is very little that could be changed in it without the danger of destroying its finely tuned fabric built from intricately interacting concepts and mechanisms

Really? Very little? Finely tuned fabric?

Is diamond inheritance really part of that fabric? And NULL?

C++ is old and has only accumulated, never lost. When I think "finely tuned fabric", I think of Rust, which has the fortune of decades of learning. C++ piled on rvalues and move semantics. Rust is the one that "tuned" its design.

I'm not dissing C++; it's a true veteran, and has witnessed entire languages rise and fall. But let's be honest: the design of C++ is (as one would expect for a decades-old language) organic, not "finely tuned".

I'd believe it.

A couple of years ago when I sat for jury duty, during one of my last call-ins as it was, we'd been in the pool room for a good hour or so precisely because of the statistics you cite. The bailiffs were getting a bit antsy and kept leaving the room, only to return a few minutes later to answer questions from a few impatient jurors. As it turned out, there were something on the order of about 7 trials on the docket scheduled for that day, and the first 3 or 4 had already ended with a plea bargain by that point rather late in the morning. We were told they would usually schedule between 7 to 10 trials on average because most of the defendants would usually agree to a deal. They assured us we would be going to juror selection "soon" and went about their business.

The unusual thing was that the remaining trials also ended in a deal, and after staying for ~2+ hours, we were free to go. Out of my 3 months, I only ever sat on one trial but we did get called in quite a few times. I certainly didn't expect to be turned away because none of the scheduled trials actually went to trial.

As an aside, I had an opportunity at the end of my term to speak with one of the prosecutors (I was leaving my last session at the end of my term and ran into him in the parking lot as he was getting lunch) who expressed frustration with the drug laws for wasting taxpayer money and jurors' time. Very interesting discussion.
> DNG is a proprietary raw format

That's misleading. DNG is patented by Adobe, but it's also an open, specified format, i.e. it's not "proprietary" in the sense of "can only be opened/used if you pay Adobe money or use/buy their products" which is what people are generally implying when they use the term "proprietary".[0]

DNG is a lot like Adobe's PDF format: owned and managed by Adobe, but with an open specification than anyone can implement/use. They even offer a free license to the DNG "patent", should that deter anyone. That said, unlike PDF, it has not (yet) become an ISO standard, although Adobe has indicated that they would like to see that happen.

I've had my credit checked as part of background checks the last two times I've changed jobs.

A very low credit score doesn't stop me renting an apartment either, probably for similar reasons. Although it did mean I couldn't rent in the presidio

The most significant thing you get from a large sensor is image fidelity. That is, the pixel data you get out of it is more true to the actual scene captured. Smaller sensors start to experience limitations in physics, of which noise is a major component.

Atlas is still in beta, so there is an small form you'll need to fill out for an invite. But it's quick, so no need for a lengthy business plan -- all you'll need for this is your name, email address, country, website, and a brief description of what you're building and how Atlas can be helpful (no pitch decks!). We're still piloting Atlas with a small group of entrepreneurs, so this bit of info is helpful for us when we're getting folks started.

Once you're invited, we'll reach out to you for any additional personal or business information that's needed for incorporation and getting your bank account set up.

Atlas certainly isn't just for digital goods -- we've had quite a few businesses apply that sell physical goods.

You can request access at https://stripe.com/atlas#request-access, and please feel free drop me a line at edwin.wee@stripe.com once you fill that out, or if you have any other questions!

It is a particular implementation of the RAW format, and specifically listed as "open, non-free". Which I would think most people would consider proprietary.
