I have used 3d printed molds to help me create lenses, but the idea of actually printing a lens is pretty gnarly. I think it definitely qualifies as 3d printing - most models require some touchups after printing from consumer printers anyway.

That's probably the first time anyone's ever complained about tarsnap being too expensive, honestly. 'tptacek & 'patio11 bang on a lot about it being too cheap, and they're right. tarsnap costs a pretty minimal amount over the underlying S3 storage, but I'm sure if you don't really care about 99.999999999% durability a hard drive on a pi is great too.
Up vote for the use of 'inveigled'. Great word for this context.
You're right, I just grabbed one of my old extended batteries it was only 2,100 mAh. Either way I couldn't get 6 hours out of it and it was awful, just not quite as awful as I gave it credit for.

Given that the US has among the lowest social mobility of developed nations, this is highly unlikely today.

Interestingly, Americans have more belief that their society is a meritocracy than most developed nations and so are especially unaware of the problem. I submit it is this commonly held perception rather than data that is informing you comment.

Obviously in the past, when democracies were even fewer in number, the situation may have been different.

Once our sensors are dense/sensitive enough (it doesn't necessarily have to be very large) physical lenses will not be necessary. The Lytro link is about interesting post processing. Today's lensless cameras are very new and very limited but the concept is sound and the technology will get there.

Eventually we will be reconstructing high quality photos from raw sensor data, applying all manner of algorithms to stabilize and accumulate brightness, stylized blur that isn't even optically possible, no shutter or lense or any moving parts really, and the whole thing will happen on your smartphone.

I think "sexy librarian" speaks volumes about American gender and social roles: In order to understand the phrase you first have to assume librarians are mostly female and aren't, on the whole, sexy. Then you need to understand what a librarian is assumed to be - probably someone who's interested in "smart stuff" in general, but not a specific field, and not in an outwardly focused way like a professor or a scientist or an engineer. Then you need to imagine the appropriate age for this creature - not a young 20-something girl, and not 50 years old (like some of us). Nay, though she's a ripe, ripe blossom, she's been protected and kept clean (but perhaps a little dusty) until now by her love for books, her yester-decade choice of apparel, and those ubiquitous wide-lensed spectacles. Yes, she's been waiting for you all these years. In the stacks.

'real' free market capitalism can't exist because without proper regulation, power/wealth tends to concentrate to a level where the strong ruin the 'free' bit.

'real' communism can't exist (outside small rare communities) because the industrial revolution failed to bring about a post-scarcity economy which was marx's failure of prediction.

A post-scarcity economy which eliminates the importance of capital is probably very possible in the future. Complete hands off capitalism probably is never going to be possible.

Can someone explain what on earth the type of 'error' is? It starts off as 0.0 but then gets +='ed with expressions containing tf.Variables, so I assume it turned into some object that is basically function? Why not write it as an actual function?

It would have made much more sense to say "no nude children" no matter what and consistently apply it. Naplam girl's photo could have been blurred a little and still be shown to convey the exact same message.

You know what makes his whole argument BS? Exactly the "nudge" he's talking about.

If Apple was really pushing for "a better technology" then they should have just included the airpods.

What they've done instead is compromising the experience and pushing the user to drop an additional $170+ on any of their headphones.

When they got rid of Flash, they didn't ask for more money to use the alternative nor did they provide a subpar flash player "as a nudge"

Also, while dropping Flash made the battery last longer, dropping the port only forces me to charge an additional battery.

I don't understand the obsession with ‘luxury’ interiors and I think it's a symptom of what's wrong with the car industry.

No, I'm obviously not in the target demographic for an expensive BMW but I don't think everyone who can afford to buy an expensive car is simply looking for luxury. If the trade-off is between driving around in hihgh luxury in a smelly, polluting car or driving around in modest ‘luxury’ in a car that is a much more elegant technical solution to private transport than I know which side of the fence I fall.

Yes, an electric car should look good, have good performance and be elegant. But I don't think it needs to reach the high end of luxury, even in the present price bracket in which the model S sits.
To be blunt it shows how out of touch those involved are. Firstly they obviously had very little understanding of African / 3rd world culture, secondly they haven't considered what we do when people offer us free stuff.

Consider if somebody walked up to you and offered to pay you 6k/mo, you would be insane not to question it. And in a country where "free stuff" doesn't happen, where corruption and entrapment are common, you would also be insane to accept it.

Several of my friends have spent time in 3rd world countries. Most had the modern, egotistical, charity tour and I would suspect that their particular brand of experience is what the experiment used.

There are many well run charities and organisations operating in these countries which fully understand the problems of interacting with people there and would have seen this situation a mile off. Those that have spent time with these charities have rightly laughed at my naivety and false superiority when talking about problems those countries face.

The upshot is - this is not a surprising result, this could have been expected and appears not to have been due to the poor practice of the organisation running the experiment. They are jeopardising their own experiment and have dealt a blow to both its credibility and the credibility of other BI experiments which already suffer from accusations of low quality science and superiority complexes. This is the long term concern.

This is much like post PC: PCs aren't dead, but many people don't bother having them anymore. Likewise, I used to buy a camera every few years, but I've completely stopped that now, since I'm not a professional.

So the camera and PCs markets that used to be growing as non professional consumers bought the new tech are now contracting! If you company makes cameras for consumers, that business is in trouble, and you can often only be so large with a more niche professional product.
Correlation doesn't imply causation.

Much as I loathe companies that do this sort of thing, I read this article as being not much better than link bait. Though doubtless there will be further layoffs, these seem to be finance, supply chain and a smattering of marketing. None of which are very good fits for H1B employees. I'm guessing most of the H1B applications are for the usual knucklehead services reqs.
I disagree, once a self driving cars are on the market, there will be a complete shift in the way you think about cars !

Why anyone would own one ? Why park a car when they can drive all the time and you can hail one for super cheap ? Cities will have zero parking space, streets would be reduced to one lane for most of them, no red lights, etc...

Ok so looking into this a bit more, that's exactly what they're doing. In fact, TensorFlow is linked as an example on the wiki page for automatic differentiation [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_differentiation]

"TensorFlow™ is an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. Nodes in the graph represent mathematical operations, while the graph edges represent the multidimensional data arrays (tensors) communicated between them." [https://www.tensorflow.org/]

In retrospect the name "Tensor Flow" makes a lot more sense now - I had only ever seen it in the context of machine learning, and assumed it was pretty specific to that domain.
Yeah, I'm more curious as to why Dropbox corrupted a few of my PDFs. Has been happening for years for a variety of people.

I actually used to think similarly before I found git up -- although to me
it wasn't about switching window context away from the terminal but rather switching away from the text editor. I imagined that the ideal place for featureful visualization/interaction with the repo would be in the text editor/ide. In reality though -- i really like having the separate window -- it's always there, does one thing and does it well, and it's easy to switch to when I want to take a look at the state of my repo/upstream branches/any dirtiness in my checkout (what exactly have I done recently?). I regularly use three editors when working on different platforms -- Xcode, android studio, atom -- sometimes it's convenient to use in ide repo-driven features (blame, sometimes historical diffs for a single file), however very often I'm actually more interested in quickly seeing diffs for files other than the one(s) I'm currently editing -- so switching to a separate app context that's all about showing repo info tends to be the fastest way to see the relevant info I want side by side without changing away from the editing context I want. More often than not navigating to most relevant diffs within the ide would actually involve more expensive context switching -- for me I'm discovering that it's always somewhat high risk to switch editor contexts -- editing text is just such a powerful interface that it tends to easily lead down rabbit holes that take me further from the most relevant info for my current task context. Once I have the most useful buffers in the right windows, with maybe some reasonable things in the editor navigation stack -- changing the editor views at that point comes with a pretty high risk of straying off task -- or operating for awhile with the non optimal set of editor windows in front of my face -- which at some point I'll realize is dumb/wastes energy and fix -- but energy was already spent in the meanwhile ...

Honestly I'm not aware of any common repo tasks that I could more efficiently complete via the command line vs gitup. There are good keyboard shortcuts for everything in gitup so most everything I do doesn't even involve the mouse.

Also -- I'm the kind of person who's always got a set of terminal windows open and definitely uses them often (almost never use Finder, hate taking my hands off the keyboard to reach for the trackpad). At this point -- I never reach for the git cli over gitup (except when cloning a new repo).

The Charger isn't a great example of using the touch screen for "most controls", because if the inside of your Charger looks anything like this (I just Googled for a photo)

http://cdn.pinthiscars.com/images/dodge-charger-2013-interio...

Then you have buttons and knobs for turning the sound system on and off, adjusting the volume, adjusting the temperature, turning the fan on and off, adjusting the fan speed, toggling the A/C, recirculating air, front defrost, and rear defrost, as well as having a physical knob to scroll through and select options on the screen.

I'm sure that there are additional things you can do on the screen, like navigation and more advanced climate control, but you can definitely operate the important controls without needing to take your eyes off the road. That's the complaint about the Tesla screen - not that it exists, but that there aren't buttons and knobs for the important controls.

If you don't subsidize farming in rich countries, all your food will come from poor countries. Poor countries without standards for food safety, scruples about burning down rainforest for a few years of fertility, or worker rights or fair wages. You starve poor countries by selling off all of their food to rich countries and making what's left very expensive. What farming is left in rich countries can only possibly be made economical doing so at the largest most industrial scales. When shit hits the fan external sources get much leverage on rich countries because they don't own their own food supply and don't have the economy in place to make their own when the suppliers get disagreeable.

And folks at the grocery store aren't going to like the prices if they want their unsubsidized groceries to be grown by their own countrymen earning middle-class wages.

Subsidies right now are certainly not where they need to be. The whole thing needs to be reformed but there are basically two classes of people: rich powerful special interests that profit from the status quo, and ignorant citizens that don't understand the very basics of why anything is being done.

Ignorance and greed underly most of our problems. Which one are you guilty of?

Cleanliness, customization, storing of personal items, availability at odd timings or locations. There are plenty of reasons why many will still own a car.
I don't think it's that complicated; more of a diff between two focus points from the lenses.
That was also our original idea but it turns out to not be that simple:

1) Whether you are an individual or a company, you still need permission from the South African Reserve bank to "just happen to own" a US company.

2) Whether the offshore company is owned by an individual or another .za company, you are still liable for tax to both the .za government and the offshore country. If you don't want to be double-taxed you need to set up a structure that allows for transfer-pricing and that conforms with the international tax treaties in effect between the two countries.

tl;dr whether you or your company owns the offshore entity makes no difference to your legal & tax obligations. :-P

I switched from Dropbox to Mega

Really?

FWIW Kim Dotcom, the founder of Mega, has distanced himself from it, saying the company had "suffered from a hostile takeover by a Chinese investor who is wanted in China for fraud"[1]

So yeah, don't trust Dropbox. Instead trust some shady Chinese characters. Can you name one of them? In comparison, note that Ben Newhouse, a Dropbox employee, is actually posting in this discussion.

There is also the added benefit of encryption

Without full source code to said encryption, all you have to go on is "trust us".

Forced to choose between the two, I know who I'd trust, and it wouldn't be Mega. YMMV.

It is an improvement. Notably it has optical image stabilisation now.
I don't doubt that the iPhone will shrink the market for DSLRs eventually, but I don't think it's going to do it to a significant extent just yet (not much more than it already has been). I'm skeptical that people buy DSLRs just for the bokeh, and anyways the samples that they showed look nowhere near as good as real bokeh from a nice lens. I think non-photographers buy DSLRs because they still take better pictures than smartphones in certain situations, particularly when an optical zoom would be desired (e.g. A kid's performance or graduation). The new iPhone comes a step closer to potentially addressing some of those situations, but it's still limited; 56mm full-frame equivalent is not really all that zoomed in, and AFAIK there isn't yet any way to zoom between the 28mm lens and 56mm lens any better than traditional digital zoom (i.e. cropping and rescaling).

> Tesla has been in the car industry for 13 years, building brand awareness.

... and building domain expertise. Apple is at the top of the smartphone game and still gets manufacturing significantly wrong at times - see the bendy iphone or the antenna-case that can't call if you hold it the wrong way. Jumping the fence to the world of vehicles is a brand new domain to make mistakes in.

Keep in mind also that Apple has gone back on things they've said in the past. Radios in ipods were never going to happen, then they did. Mocked users of a stylus, then released Pencil. The iPhone is the perfect size for your hand... then they embiggened it. Getting it right the first time is something Apple sometimes does, and sometimes fails at.

Apple has also released a lot of turkeys over the years that people conveniently forget about. I just can't see them jumping the fence to a significantly different product domain and simply beating everyone else there at the game.
Anybody who was laid off want to talk about what Apple was doing?

They had a thousand people on this. Doing what?
