Good point! But in the other direction, don't forget that even those there's less "pixels" than expected from the sensor, there will be more than 10 bits per channel, typically 12 or 14. I shouldn't have said it's larger, not necessarily - but it's definitely not 1:1!
Not quite. It's my understanding it's not as up to date or equivalent to the latest IE. When I tried looking around I just got a lot of confusing information about the control, how it applies (or doesn't) traditional IE hacks, etc.

The devil in the details on all of these systems is that "free" doesn't actually exist. It's part of what killed Twitter (which is now a shell of its former self), and part of why Ello lost a lot of support (when Ello took VC funding).

That said, given how toxic the landscape has become, I'm not really inclined to use any social network unless they can reasonable resolve the abuse problems.
I think the lifetime of the author is not ridiculous: I made something, so I get to be the owner. That I live to be 100 years old and wrote it when I was 25 years old... I don't think that's completely unreasonable. I can also imagine that if Joe wrote something amazing, expects to feed his family with that for a few years, and dies in a car crash the next day, the poor wife or kids might enjoy some of the royalties for a few years (like 5-10 years).

When written for a company, the span should be much shorter: like with patents, one can expect them to think of a new story after a while.

So I agree that death+70 is ridiculous, but 70 by itself, so long as it's not past the author's death (unless s/he dies within 5-10 years after creating the work)... I think that's not completely crazy.

I had a very similar problem with an abusive ex-. She tried to bully me into starting a business in an area I was (am) totally unsuited for (when I was too young to be doing anything like that anyway), as well as studying for a career that she felt would earn "enough" money, all while helping herself to my bank account. She also spent up big on several occasions, and then came crying to me when the debt collectors came knocking. I was young and naive, so I think you can see how that ended up.

She eventually left me because I wasn't trying hard enough to please her; I was studying from 8am to 5pm, then working until 9pm, and she wanted me to stop eating lunch for several months so I could smother her with roses. I suggested that she should go fk herself because I was working 13 hours a day plus catching up on study at weekends while she did four hours on a Sunday if she felt like it, so she wandered off with .. well, a pile of my furniture and equipment, plus a few grand from my bank account and my one (emergencies only) credit card, as well as my overdraft, all of which took me a few years to pay back.

Maybe its referring to the way Feynman describes light travelling, for example in this lecture.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMSgE62S6oo

It's something like, (and please don't try too hard to understand my description here, I watched the video over a year ago, and you've got Feynman at the link) imagine a photon is a particle going in all directions, and has an arrow inside it spinning at a rate of 10^15 revolutions per second, and the probability that light goes from its origin to a particular destination is the amplitude of the sum of all the internal arrows of the all the possible paths between the origin and the destination.

Even if this is not what the article is referring to, its a reminder that for a lot of people, light doesn't move in straight lines.

Finally, the series linked series of lectures are amazing, if you have a layperson's interest in Physics then this will take your knowledge to a new level.

Sadly, this kind of things on Spain are far of being possible as a car that run on the streets need to be homologated, and a lot of paperwork. Something stupid and simple like replacing the lights by led lights would required it.
I too work in German automotive software and I do think their point that German industry may not cope with the coming challenges is valid.

From my point of view a big problem is that most decisions are still made by people with mechanical or electrical engineering backgrounds.
The whole culture values the German engineer a lot, the computer scientist or programmer not so much. I deliberately wrote computer scientist and programmer, because these are not even considered proper engineers here, even if the term software engineer is gaining popularity.

I suspect the situation is different for the big suppliers like Bosch, Conti and ZF. I think almost all of the ECU know-how (hardware and software) is in these companies whereas the car companies tend their - soon to be mostly useless - ICE know-how like the holy grail. If the suppliers make the right decisions now, they could be the big war profiteers.

BTW: ICE stands for internal combustion engine, for those just skimming the comments.

Its a content management system that allows you to easily host and serve content on the IPFS filesystem, which is a decentralized datastore currently deployed and serving millions of documents. You can communicate with your peer network (friends) using blog-style posting techniques, share files (video/audio/html/etc.) and host them seamlessly on IPFS without requiring a centralized authority.

Pretty much anything I'd want to do on Facebook et al., I can do on Akasha - with the difference that I control the content. This is significant for content-creatives because it puts them back in the drivers seat for who and how their material is served.

Haven't had any problems with it personally, but I only have about 100 people in my network.
I get a feeling that this is influenced by which part of the country you live in.

The average age of a passenger car in Germany is ~6.7 years. I wasn't able to find a recent reliable figure for the average number of KMs driven per car per year, but the EU has is listed at ~14,000 for Germany in 2012, and I don't really see why the number would have increased dramatically over the last five or so years.

Anyway, it looks like the average passenger car in Germany has been driven for ~87,000km. Germany is also on the lower side for average car age (France, and Italy are a little higher).

This is a back of the hand estimate, but it matches up with my perception that people look to replace their cars once they go above 100-150k km. Again, if you're younger, take longer commutes, or live outside of a large city (or are just frugal), I'm willing to bet that this number goes up dramatically (Eastern Europeans, for instance, hold onto their cars for a much longer period of time, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is also true for many portions of East Germany).
On the Polish Paradox
> Where to park it? In garage, obviously.

Most people in Germany don't have a garage. Apart from that: the other part of the question is "where do I park my car when I'm not at home?", which is about 50% of the time. Inner cities in Germany don't have giant parking spots but narrow streets with parallel parking on the street with parking fees.
There certainly is! The bar is quite high though; it's not enough for a police officer to have given you an opportunity to commit a crime, they really have to have tricked someone into it who wouldn't reasonably be expected to normally commit a crime.

Here is a little feature on the way Bosch are fully prepared for the EV future:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHXi7Bvi_gE

The components are good to go, it is up to the car manufacturers to start using this kit in their vehicles.

So where are these car manufacturers?

You can buy the whole drivetrain and electronics from Bosch, put it in a box with some seats in it and the job is done. Despite this relative ease it seems that we are not getting that out of the German auto manufacturers. It is lip service, a promise to have EV everything by year 202x as another 6.3 litre AMG G-Wagen with upgraded fluffy heated seats is launched.

I think a lot will have to wait for the baby boomer generation to die off or get too old to be safe on the autobahns any more. I don't believe that future generations will be pleasuring themselves at the sound of V-whatever engines with noisy exhaust notes in the way that mid-life crisis types do today (as they 'sit in traffic' in their 'ultimate driving machines'). These things will go the way of steam engines on railways. We were once romantically attached to steam trains in much the same way that today's frustrated old people are attached to the fake exhaust notes on their Porsche/AMG/BMW/Audi cars.

One good thing is that today's high end cars are not built to last. Sure all the corrosion proofing is better than it was in 1963 but the financing of cars and the fact that you can't fix them yourself means that they get scrapped soon after they make it onto the second hand market. Why pay $$$$ to get that gearbox replaced when you can just lease-hire a brand new car for $$$ a month?

Bosch and others are doing great things in the pedal powered electric bicycle market. If you are a bicycle manufacturer then you just need to bolt the Bosch bits to a slightly modified bike and the job is a good one. The barrier to entry is really quite low, hence the profusion of electric bicycle models. It will be funny if the same happens with EV cars, with new market players from China coming along to make easy what VW et al. struggle to do.

I do feel that the German auto industry is in better shape for the EV challenge than what is happening in Italy and France. For instance, the PSA group - Peugeot/Citroen - recently brought out some monster SUV under a new deluxe brand - 'DS' - and that has a big clunky diesel in it, not some hybrid or EV. They are playing catch up with the German brands, trying to go high end, but you know that these stillborn dinosaurs are never going to be seen on the roads. PSA also got burdened with the GM Opel/Vauxhall relics. Meanwhile in Italy the Fiat group burdened themselves with all of that Chrysler legacy cruft. So at least the German auto industry is going forward.

The benefits are that mathematicians think it is interesting, and this allows us to answer mathematical questions we could not answer before.
There might be practical applications I do not know of, but that's not the point of fundamental mathematical research.

For a thorough defense of mathematics, consider 'A mathematicians apology' by G.H. Hardy or [1], a modern response to that.
To summarize [1], the argument is that the main product of mathematics is an environment that creates mathematicians. Those mathematicians can the use their problem solving skills in practical applications.

makes no sense for money. You need 2 digits after the decimal point constantly, whether it is 0.01 or 1000000.01

AFAIK (and I don't do this for work), after every calculation you manually need to call quantize as in

cents = decimal.Decimal('.01')
money = price.quantize(cents, decimal.ROUND_HALF_UP)

Well the problem is the large cities taking up all capacity in the rivers and the people who suffer are the people on the coastlines of those lakes.

The capacity in the rivers, by and large, is not taken up by people on those coastlines.

And conservation, I bet, "somehow" misses this reality. So it attempts to protect things like tourism income at the further expense of the victims. But nobody, absolutely nobody is talking about denying cities the water they depend on (which will dry up anyway, but not for a while yet ...).

You see the problem is not global warming. The problem is those cities and countries that take away the resources these lakes depend on. If you calculate the resulting change in precipitation from the 1 degree or so of temperature change we've seen, that's not what's making the difference here. The difference is those cities.

But of course, we "need to conserve". And what do we mean by that, exactly ? Why, the victims of it, the people living on that coastline, those need to be forced to abandon their lives, because otherwise the tourism that the rest of country profits from (but not so much those people), could get hit ... first a bit, then a lot. That's what we mean by conservation.

If I were you I would now transform all known licenses into their own structured version and publish that, put all in a simple website for people to consult and link to.

In that same website, you could even have a "crete your personalized license" where you would instruct people on how to create their own Legalfile.

When hosting their own Legalfile on GitHub, for example, people would link to your site so visitors can understand what does that Legalfile mean.

I'd guess more likely that some local in-browser state during your session "flipped" to indicate the target account of interest didn't exist after a failed API interaction or a logic error.

Your short term switch to an incognito tab created a new session without the flaw, making the target account visible.

Your regular-tab interaction eventually refreshed state that made the target account appear.

... that's my attempt at a most plausible explanation, and doesn't involve any purposeful blacklisting of the target account on IG's part.
