>What credibility are Nikon or Canon missing?

Lots of stuff when you start thinking about it. Automation, as an example. Say I want my own custom metering algorithm - I can't currently upload that to my camera and try it out.

Take a look at what you can do when you can program your phone:

https://ai.googleblog.com/2017/04/experimental-nighttime-pho...

A phone's sensor is much worse than in Nikon/Canon. Yet if I want to reproduce the results in that post it's a fair amount of manual work to do so on a DSLR.

Say I want to shoot a photo of a tourist spot, but with no people in the photo. A standard way is to take several shots seconds apart, and then on the PC merge them using the median. All the people disappear. Why can't I program my DSLR to take 20 photos every 5 seconds and do that computation, and discard the 20 images and just keep the processed one?

Once you start thinking this way, you suddenly realize you're holding a product whose interface resembles something from 1980's DOS.
Been there. Unless you have an IOU, anything "given" before marriage is utterly gone, and you won't get any credit for it during the division of assets or determination of alimony.

No good deed goes unpunished.
OK, but High Sierra VMs in VBox are pretty easy with vagrant. Plus the standard tweaks for running on Windows and Linux hosts.

You really can build enough housing to lower prices. Tokyo has. You can get a small Tokyo studio apartment for $700 per month. [1]

This is because they build housing. San Francisco, London, New York, and Seattle all don't build housing and prices go up. [2]

If housing were easier to build people would build more affordable housing. No developer cares if they build expensive housing or affordable housing, they are maximizing return on investment. Turning a 1 story house into a 3 story house for a 30% return makes developers just as happy as developing 20 luxury condos for a 30% return.

And even those luxury condos provide housing for people who would otherwise buy old condos and renovate them. As long as the housing is more dense and there is more of it, prices will come down.

GitLab too, but granted, if you host your own version, you wouldn't lose anything.

That being said, GitHub has almost no choice to keep being a good guy with the OSS community. If they lose it, they lose the respect of the developers, and they would lose their paid customers in the process.
Quality of life is not just about amount of money you earn. It's about your status in society.

You can make a ton of money feel low status (ex. oppressed minorities) and your life wouldn't be very good

You can make very little money and feel very high status (ex. a village elder) and your life would be amazing.

In America, the upper class have a ton of money and medium status - the poor hates them and it's generally considered impolite to show off your wealth.

The lower class have no money and no status.

No one really feels that secure

I really miss keeping my camera on and just tapping the shutter release for the camera to immediately turn on. Mirrorless is better for me in most other ways, but that feature still tempts me to pick up a DSLR again.
The age range of 21 to 40 needs to be expanded greatly in both directions. Well, really the limit should go away.

This fall my wife goes over the limit. She might be pregnant with a 12th kid already though, so she'd be excluded. We'd like an estimate of how many more kids we'll end up with.

A histogram would be great, for example: 17% chance of no more, 40% chance of 1 more, 23% chance of 2 more, 11% chance of 3 more, 4% chance of 4 more, 3% chance of 5 more, 2% chance of at least 6 more...
TBF, SF has build a fair number of housing compared to the Bay Area. It is cities like San Mateo, Palo Alto, and Mountain View that are primarily to blame for the housing crisis.
There are facebook groups where Amazon sellers will post an item. Then you purchase it and write a review, and seller will send paypal or an amazon gift card for the price of the item and maybe a few more bucks.

Hiring a few interns to sign up for all of these facebook group and track who is participating would go a long way. Doesn't seem like Amazon really cares much.

Same here. That's still my favorite adaptation of the work, given the amount of work that went into making it stylistically modern while still fitting the original lines.
The way we measure educational attainment across cultures is by PISA scores.

We are working on it! No matter what age you are, the tests are the same. We worked super hard to have age specific content for the range of 21-40 but are excited to expand this. Women need information about fertility through their entire lives because it impacts so many aspects of health and wellbeing. Our next step is to expand our age range to over 40.
Seems like there’s an underlying assumption that “land use” is something to optimize for, which strikes me as odd. Earth is huge.

Even if that was valid, a second-order effect is to increase carrying capacity and increase the rate of population growth.

> Is it just a holdover from cold war-era terminology?

This. US and USSR were considered, rightfully, the superpowers during the cold war. "Sole superpower" simply means one has fallen, so the balance has tilt in favor of the US.

It wasn't "self proclaimed". It was globally accepted. It plays into American's patriotism but also flames anti-American in a lot of places. If you think it's just American manufactured claim you're mistaken.

In the same vein, China is considered "new superpower", also rightfully, considering how they have aggressively expanded their influence around the world.

Facebook is literally brimming with bad vibes, since the prevailing winds of perception are that the idea of anonymity is a flimsy wet paper bag, in the face of what technology really has going on.

This sort of hopelessness is bringing about varying degrees of abandon, nevermind the negative examples of adults and celebrities that shed light on the total lack of any positive role model. They know that the only winning move is not to play, and sometimes even that isn’t an option.

No one knows what they’re doing. No one knows what comes next. And many, many people have a sinking feeling about what’s already happened, and whether it’s all far too late.

Instagram is an envy club. The vapidity of food, vacation, beaches. But generally lower on the spectacle, as a matter of trend more than anything else.

Snapchat is for trading nudes, and general subterfuge, such as spreading rumors about eachother, with selectively memory-holed messaging.

So even youtube, with the limited veracity of generally public video as a forum will fall too. It’s only so much of a salve for truthiness.

Sure. So get that executive masters or Coursera certificate, and then spend an hour convincing an employer that you actually learned something in your course.
Companies need to be able to die, and extracting as much value from the dying company is worthwhile. The alternative is to let a company waste away, slowly bleeding out the last of their resources until their is nothing left. That is not good for the economy, and only prolongs the inevitable. This might feel morbid, but it shouldn't; companies aren't people.

Obviously the people at the company need to be taken care of, but that is a larger societal issue about how we deal with people who lose their jobs in general, not about companies that go out of business.

If the people making the largest bid for a company want to close it down, then that is probably the best thing to do; if it was really worth it to turn the business around, then someone else would offer more money to keep it going (or at least the same amount).

Facebook sinking fast among US teens: survey

Only "many"? o_O ;-)
Why was the NYTimes story from yesterday killed? Story you linked is from almost two months ago. It definitely looks like censorship.
I realized a while ago that any hyperbolic ('eleventy billion' style, not counting cases where the actual value counts) number only needs to be about 10x the expected value to sound large. Further orders of magnitude don't seem to add any extra emotional impact after that.
From the first paragraph of the article:

The news was spotted by PetaPixel on the camera giant’s Japanese support forum.

Agreed, both are at least second-source and rebroadcasting a press release
Well, some people have a "philosophy" that humans aren't the only life-form in the universe whose lives mean something, have value.

Reading your post is for me a little like someone talking about slavery, how they like it, it has benefits, they don't feel a strong desire to stop, they've tried to cut down but don't see why they should stop completely, etc. It's kind of obscene. Or at best, like there's a huge elephant in the room. It's not all about you. I was brought up on a farm with cows we ate, later I ate hamburgers.. Then in my 20s it dawned on me that treating animals as they they're nothing but things for humans to eat only seemed ethically OK because it was the norm in my culture, (encouraged by a lot of now-super-gruesome-seeming TV ads on e.g. how delicious lambs are) and..because I'm human. A lot like how racism seemed OK if you're white, slavery if you're not a slave etc. It's a matter of widening your field of ethical concern from the arbitrary "Animals of my species, uh plus cats and dogs" line. Otherwise you will sound like, say, a white-supremacist racist talking as if only white people matter, all others have no value, mean nothing except as they can serve whites. (I have to use these analogies to try to get you to hear what meat-eater arguments sound like to me)
No, you ask random people on LinkedIn like every recruiter does.
It seems like all content would be fine for them, what would you filter out for teenagers?
I made as much money on Google RSUs as I've made on every other form of equity offered as part of a "total comp" package over the course of my career, which is to say, nada. Total comp is bullshit, no matter how enthusiastically the recruiters try to convince you otherwise; salary is all that matters.
I think it's shame that lot of projects do. Why?

1.) Compared to Phabricator (which I used for almost last 4 years), github is really behind for code review (I didn't use gitlab, so can't compare). There is lot of missing features: I can't comment on selection of lines, see diff of subset of commits, do stacked pull request (one PR depends on another PR), view of open pull request is chaotic

Effect is that it's way harder to send small PR for review, unless you work on lot of unrelated things and multiplex.

2.) Github dominance is causing everybody using git, and stiffs competition in source control tools. For example, I find mercurial much better than git: it has similar set of features, but it's easier to use, my day-to-day chores I do with single command, and I am much less likely to screw up my repo.
Google+ was ahead of its time, apparently?
Moving to Australia soon, what's the blocking like?
I’ve been thinking several years now practically nothing I do at work on a computer can’t be done on a computer from 1995. The tools have been improved a bit and made worse in other places but the basic work if you’re not in a compute heavy field is pretty much the same.
It is true, the situation does set the stage for a "Law & Order" Republican to make an entrance some day.

I'm pretty sure the real reason why teenagers are leaving FB is because their parents are joining.
damn, still no Australian DC.

I'm stuck on Vultr still, since they're cheap and they have an Australian datacenter.

AU routing to JP is really bad (I get faster connections and better ping to TX-US servers on a lot of providers), and SG is like 120-160 ping which still kinda sucks.

Not exactly. "Under the agreement, the 18 percent rental level will be in effect until January 2018, when it will rise to 19 percent, and then 20 percent in 2019. The condo requirement would rise to 21 percent in 2018 and 22 percent in 2019."

"A study by the city controller found that a rate higher than 18 percent would likely slow housing production and reduce the amount of subsidies for affordable units."

"Even with the reduction, the levels are the highest concessions required for affordable housing among any major city in the United States."

"Peskin and Kim had pushed for a 24 percent requirement"

"To date, only two single-building projects without public subsidies have agreed to 25 percent affordable housing"

I can barely read your writing dude, holy shit.
Lex Fridman's team has drawn their highly disingenuous conclusions based on studies of automated (not autonomous) systems from Volvo, Tesla and Range Rover. They didn't study a single product from a company working on an actual autonomous driving system, and of course they can't because those products are all currently in development and not available to study.
Teen dad checking in here. YouTube, Instagram, and Snapchat seem to be the mainstream among teens right now. I'd argue it is less a reflection on Facebook and more about what they admire and desire. YouTube and Instagram enable them to follow the people and activities that interest them, and entice them to be future "internet stars" too.
The capacitors will leak regardless whether you turn it on or not. In fact, they have already leaked, and the fluid is corroding pads and pins and eating through traces. Best to get it recapped before more damage is done.
To me it would be ideal if plant based food was the default and animal products an expensive luxury. Not unaffordable, let's say a dish with meat costs about twice as much as a vegan dish in most restaurants.

But I would already be perfectly happy and content if all the wonderful places in the world I want to visit had vegan food at all.
Of course I understand that people struggling with hunger and poverty have more important things to worry about.

I don't know what it takes to "save the planet". Everyone going vegan might not be enough. But that ship has probably sailed anyway. The planet will have plenty of time to recover and/or become something new after humans disappeared (themselves). What bugs me is seeing animals suffer, regardless of species (including humans ofc).
You are misreading the research, which showed that after filtering for interview performance, excess programming talent or GPA wasn't important.
They actually had a pretty extensive range of lenses and accessories (bulk film backs, drives and grips, etc.), and had those cool white f/2.8 zooms and teles before Canon did. Some of those lenses, like the 24mm VFC (variable field curvature), were unique to the line and allowed a photographer to pull off shots that wouldn't be practical again until digital composition (focus stacking, etc.) came along. They also had a decent TTL flash system way ahead of the game - you could pull a full-on Joe McNally job, but you needed to do it cabled.

Their real problem was dropping into and out of the pro market at irregular intervals. Every time the put together a killer, truly professional-level body system, the market reaction was, "yeah, I don't want to invest in a system that's going to be orphaned next week," which led to it being orphaned the next week. I'd already moved on to medium and large format when the Maxxum/Dynax/Alpha hit, but it was still maddening to see my old favourite shooting themselves in the foot over and over again.
> Code signing certificates are a great idea if you're a company who gets to charge me hundreds of dollars per year to say that I am who I say I am. Code signing doesn't seem so great from my perspective, because I don't want to have to pay hundreds of dollars per year to a cartel engaging in a protection racket.

An interesting solution could be that Windows users could get the ability to add additional root certificates for application sign keys to Windows installations.
You should see the permissions the United app requests of you on Android. (Hint: Nearly all of them)
The phone company doesn't hold it for you on your behalf; they don't have some frontend where you can query and see it. Google does hold it on your behalf. It's used for you in Google Maps to surface places you regularly go over places you've never been. This is why "directions to the pizza place" works. Location history is also used to automatically deduce your home, work, or school location, so you can use a command like "navigate to school" with Android Auto, or get traffic alerts along your normal routes, just as examples.
I'm not sure how much this stumbles into the woes of Google accounts in general, but it's really hard to deal with Groups if Gmail isn't your mail address. When I left Gmail, I had to invent a new alias to get subscribed to a group because it affiliated my main address with my Google account and so wouldn't let me subscribe with it. But if I go to Groups and interact with it there, it uses my Gmail address, which I don't think is changeable.

So I have inbox@mydomain which Google knows is affiliated with my Google account, google@mydomain which had to be subscribed to the list for me to get mail at my actual email address, and my Gmail address, which Groups uses when I post from the web UI.

Help.

Sidebar: I don't say a ton of nice things about Google, but absolute kudos for you just dropping in here and asking for feedback. Gold star, I'd really like to see more of this.

Do you really think this?

What if hedge funds just happen to get larger than anyone else in the spaces they operate in, precisely by executing this technique, such that there's no "someone else" who would offer more money?

An analogy: you're essentially saying that it's "the best thing to do" to date a vampire and let them suck out all your blood, because if there were a better partner for you to date than a vampire, surely such a partner would be more attractive than the vampire is, and would try harder to date you than the vampire is.

Now that doesn't sound right, does it? These vampire[-corporations] are supernaturally attractive [to shareholders] and are driven by their bloodlust to seduce people [i.e. board-members] far more effectively than regular human[-corporations] can manage.
I do want to shut it down at the first scent of a malformed, intellectually stunted alt-right-prescribed viewpoint as it’s tiresome to constantly need to successfully shoot down the barrage of canned Shapiro/Peterson/Bannon-esque rebuttals to every left-leaning viewpoint or policy. Alt-right viewpoints are simply noise at this point akin to listening to the distant echoes of thousands of YouTube videos simultaneously.

So when I see the tired phrase “virtue signaling” I think “uh oh here we go...”

Sorry if I’m triggered by it.
