Just because it was "medieval" doesn't mean that it didn't involve some method on it, or that it wasn't tested and the best results were reproduced for different patients.

I even think that "method" developed not because someone was sitting still with nothing to do, but exactly because some people succeeded and others didn't, and so something in the actions (or in the thinking) of the successful ones was a key to success.

That's an interesting point, but it leads me to a different conclusion. Given the higher numbers of people employed in retail, shouldn't we focus more attention on the fact that those jobs can't support a family?
>Being mirrorless makes the lenses cheaper because of optics reasons

Hmm, it should theoretically make wide angle lenses a bit cheaper because they won't have to use retrofocus designs. But I think the actual price of the lens is going to be determined by what pro photographers are used to paying for fancy wide angle lenses.

The mantra used to be that people would be employed in "services". But services are more automated, too. Services done at some fixed location are rapidly being automated. Mobile services, too. Some recent developments:

* Stock picking in an Amazon warehouse - robots taking over. [1]

* Doordash delivery - robots now deployed in Redwood City. I've seen one in the downtown area. People just ignore them as they roll along the sidewalks. Their active six-wheel suspension can climb a curb. [2] There's an experimental partnership with Mercedes where a self-driving van holds multiple robots and lets them out for deliveries.

Why CS Staff Shouldn't be Robots: The Real Challenge for United Airlines
While 20fps makes nice headline, it is imho the least interesting spec of this camera. Some things I find interesting:

* Low light performance and dynamic range. Sony bodies have traditionally been good at this (see for example https://vimeo.com/99893160), I hope the trend continues.

* Video features. They say 4k full frame video, which sounds nice, but subsampling the sensor inherently comes with some compromises, which might be even exaggerated in 1080p mode.

* There is more to video than just resolution; does it have any high-framerate modes, what sort of video formats and color profiles does it support etc etc.

* The 5 stop equivalent image stabilization sounds impressive. Admittedly I haven't followed the state of art that closely, but I imagined IS being typically closer to 2-3 stop eqv.

* 1/32k shutter speed seems also quite fast. I wonder what sort of new photos such fast shutter speeds enable.

* Wasn't it Sony that "innovated" a lossy compressed RAW format? What sort of impact does that have on this camera?

... and probably some more.
> Failing to do so makes women feel uncomfortable

Honest question, are you a woman? I generally agree that our industry has to do a lot more work to make everyone feel included and utilize all the talent available. But I disagree that using the word 'bruh' should be discouraged, or that it correlates with inappropriate behavior. Especially if it's anecdotal, its just correlation, not causation, and shouldn't be read into.

(Unless 'bruh' has a meaning other than 'bro', short for 'brother', that I don't know about).
You should consider applying for an operations role at Juicero - the double-walled solution was truly a nice touch.

On another note, Juicero doesn't care what you or your daughter do to make juice, because you were never meant to buy a Juicero. It's a safe bet that their strategy was to sell B2B to large corporations and into the high-end hospitality industry (hotels, cruise ships, colleges) rather than B2C. I'm sure they extrapolated some crazy TAM/SAM/SOM for the B2B amenities market based on Keurig's success and used it to score an easy $120m.
You can also buy a juicer. Takes a negligible effort to clean, and with all those grocery delivery services, the slogging vegetables around part is taken care of.
Many of my friends from high school went on to do undergrad, and then master's degrees in Art History. One of them is working as an intern at the Met now. The other three are living on their trust funds.

I don't understand why any sensible person would get an MA in the humanities. It's all well and good if you are doing for your own intellectual curiosity, but it's not so great if you expect a living wage on that degree. :(
Correct. That's an incredibly important attribute of all technical projects.
You do need a degree in nursing, and there's fierce levels of competition for even community college nursing programs, with strong GPA requirements. It's not med school level, but the same forces apply to nursing as well.

I think people here really overrate how open the trades are. Most of the "can't fill" positions are for things like underwater welding, or high risk/niche occupations. Your local tech school generally produces more than enough electricians and plumbers for most local markets.
I think this is why the media focuses so much on race and democrat vs republican. Divide and conquer. Keep the people at each others throats instead of at the people who are actually responsible

Google can be out-competed, look at their attempts at social networks & messaging/calling.

Google has lit dumpsters full of cash on fire in an effort to get anywhere near Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, Viber or even Signal Private Messenger, and yet their extremely fractured strategy that they have dumped R&D into still has less users than any of those in their respective categories.

Mozilla can be competitive, akin to Darktable vs Adobe if Mozilla chooses to be. No more mucking about bailing their friends out (ie: Pocket acquisition), or trying to fight Google on hardware prices (Firefox OS's entire strategy). Mozilla can create a playing field tilted in their favor, and force others to compete on their turf rather than duking it out on Google or Chinese OEMs turf.
It has to do with race in that racial privilege used to have a higher economic premium than it does now. It would be facile toignore this fact; economics isn't some indepedent objective force, but the product of social and structural factors that are ultimately arbitrary.

I'm a big fan of Colin Woodard's book American Nations, which examines the very different social, economic and cultural assumptions of 11 different regions in the USA and goes a long way towards explaining the various frictions that arise from conflicting worldviews.

Professionals push back towards professionalism, which should be free from micro-culture in jokes. The profession is international, and there are many indulging in this who do not have the perspective to recognize the actual cost of insularity.

I'm pretty sure there are people working on "the cutting edge" of tech that are capable of communicating like adults and not a college fratboy. The vast majority, actually.
Unless you, personally, account for the other 99% of the photography market I wouldn't hand wave this camera that fast.

It's a very specialized piece of equipment for a very specific user, sure, but Sony has other bodies suited for different jobs. What the A9 shows is that there are advantages unattainable to mirror systems. As technology matures and cost of entry lowers, the more limited and cumbersome mirror systems will be cast away.

Optical viewfinder, albeit nice, won't sustain the whole market for DSLR. The advantage of no having vibration or rolling shutter or silent operation, will eventually drive people to mirrorless systems.
I'm tired of the implication that using non-free software for which a free alternative does not exist is inherently stupid.

Software is a tool. People can't use tools that don't exist. If you want free software to win, get off your high horse and focus on making more/better free software.

Unit economics: http://blog.samaltman.com/unit-economics
This is Sony's first true professional mirrorless camera.

The professional camera industry is going through a paradigm shift. From SLRs (cameras with a mirrors that flap with each photo and make the unique clack sound) to Mirrorless.
You needed the mirror during the film days, because you needed to see what the lens was seeing. Now, you can capture what the lens is seeing from the sensor into an electronic viewfinder.

However, there is still an opinion that an SLR (Nikon or Canon) is a real professional tool. From built quality, to focus speed (phase detect), frames/second, battery life, dual card capture, etc.

Sony's new A9 is designed to go head to head against the top of the line professional cameras from Nikon and Canon. At least on many of the specs.

That said, I'm still not convinced it's going to be as robust as a Nikon D5 or Canon's 1Dx, etc.

I'm a Nikon user now (was canon for a long time) and I abuse my camera a lot. From rain, extreme cold, etc. And the camera continues to work. Many of my photographer friends on FB are unhappy with reliability of the Sony's A7 series and switched back to Canon and Nikon due to reliability issues. So even though the A9 has all the specs, it may still not be the camera pros shooting Olympics, etc. switch to.
Because the outsourcing companies would set up a pseudo startup to abuse it. The solution is to make it expensive for them.

I don't think that's the only way. At least, I think there's a few things to try first.

If information dissemination is being exploited due to new technology, first we should try to fix that in various ways. There are various other problems that might or might not have full or partial solutions as well.

When you have a hole in the henhouse that lets a fox in, the first step is to try to close the hole and possibly trap or kill the fox, not to stop raising chickens. Even if new holes are occasionally dug, as long as it's still worth it to grow chickens, you don't just give up.

Pay in Germany is generally low. Where someone in Seattle would earn $120k to $140k easily, the same person in Germany may net only $40k to $50k. Housing and especially food & drink are much cheaper than the US though, $12 beers aren't anywhere near as common.
>>So is it just the stigma that prevents people from getting 100K a year?

There are a plenty of things that play into decisions like these:

1. 100K/year doesn't necessarily mean you get some fixed income every month. Not everyone enjoys that kind of a lifestyle.

2. Feeling of doing a lesser intellectually involving work.

3. Perennial threat of facing impending dilution in wages, as you are working in a area where people have a lower barrier to entry.

4. Other social respect problems. You likely won't get as much attention in your circles as some one is who working at Google.

Many other things...

By and large you will still be better off with a job that pays you a fixed income every month.

Im from the outside looking in, but I never understood why a lot of parents with kids with only average or below average academic skills don't think of encouraging their kids into getting a trade like plumbing, electrician, car repair etc. they don't "waste" time learning subjects that they see as irrelevant and everything they learn is directly related to their future career. I don't see a time where there isn't a need for those trades.

The reason I say I'm on the outside looking in is because doing any job that requires the ability to use both hands was never an option for me.

This article makes me really sad. I wonder if they took one sample of blood, stool, hair or spit to see if there were any biomedical anomalies to treat. My nephew's onset of "Autism" (I use quotes because the diagnostic methodology for Autism is casual observation, followed by "I said so" by a doctor) was at about 24 months. His parents refused to accept the prognosis of long term care. They instead found a licensed MD who would take specimens from my nephew and treat any observed deviations from established norms with standard interventions. So what they found over the course of about 4-5 years was my nephew suffered from a massive yeast infection, pinholes in his intestines, heavy metal poisoning, and numerous food allergies. This is an incomplete list, but for every other anomaly they discovered in his blood, stool, etc. they treated it as any trained MD would, if they were looking.

My nephew was diagnosed as "indistinguishable from his peers" at around age 8. Aside from having to eat a rotating diet to avoid the development of new food allergies, he's a normal kid now. He has friends, talks normally, is running track and field for his sport. The only thing that seems a little off with him, he loves good strong bear hugs, and I'm always happy to oblige.

You can dismiss this account as anecdotal and I'm sure many will. What I can tell you, through community connections, we know hundreds of other families who have helped their children recover to varying degrees from Autism. It's not some secret cult of medicine either, it's just a new field of study. The NIH sought my nephew for study, along with hundreds of other children who have recovered from Autism.
I was commenting on the suggestion that DSLRs are now obsolete. For sure this is a highly capable camera and there are some advantages to going mirrorless.

>The advantage of no having vibration or rolling shutter or silent operation, will eventually drive people to mirrorless systems.

Vibration is a red herring. Mirror damping for small format DSLRs has been a solved problem for decades. In any case, all of these advantages can be obtained with a DSLR too when it's in mirror lock-up mode.
