Interlace does not crossfade either :-)

The purpose of interlace is to double the frames per second and capture motion better. The downside is some vertical resolution loss and some odd, but rarely seen, visual artifacts.

I think the OP is asking about the _value_ of the FPR instead of the definition.
Part of the solution is that it is a basket of currencies rather than just the dollar.
I don't personally think it's worth it, no. To me, though, that's a different issue than "it can't be done."

"Yes, we can do A. The likely result of this action, however, is X Y Z." I prefer to present the situation like this rather than short-circuiting via "I know we are unwilling to accept X Y Z," and so therefore, "we can't do A."
I've been wondering about this too. I don't see how the incentives are setup that the Association would want to move towards an entirely permissionless network. Especially if Libra gets heavily adopted at 100 nodes (as they don't need to improve trust at that point and letting more companies into the association will decrease transaction throughput).
Exactly. For example it would be 99x cheaper if you were going to buy $10.00 / day vs the Coinbase feature (don't get too excited, it's $0.99 in fees for Coinbase's out of the box feature vs $0.01-$0.03 in fees you'll hit by using the Coinbase Pro API). Definitely requires more set up and maintenance, but that's half the fun of it :)

If you want an example of how an unregulated medicine market works, check out the American medical "supplement" market. Plenty of producers, dubious and often purposely wrong claims, often don't even contain the compound as advertised, and still hilariously expensive.

If unregulation begets competition and that begets lower prices, why do these turmeric supplements cost $30[0] while you can go to the spice aisle and get 10x as much for $5?

Uh, no. Truvada is a generic drug in many countries around the world and cost maybe $10/month not $2000/month. The US just allows Gilead to profit massively from something that is generic and in the public health interest of all Americans to be as cheap as possible. In fact, Gilead agreed to speed up the expiration of their exclusivity so that it will become generic in 2020 due to public outcry, but the fact that a life saving drug will still be $2000/month for a year or more when it could be $10 tomorrow is terrible.
>This is not a coherent position. By this logic, every single person who is _not_ making insulin (people like you and me) are also guilty of committing mass murder.

I don't think that is a particularly coherent position on my position.
I wouldn't jump to that conclusion.

Given that many users here aren't native English speakers/writers, the tone that might seem obvious to you & I, might actually be completely inadvertent.
I'm working on several applications that only support browsers with ES2017 (async) and above... That said, for mostly static content, there's very little excuse not to do server renders. I mean this stuff isn't new, and dynamic bits can be attached after render. Hell, most of the interaction beyond the text content I'd be fine with.

One thing that REALLY bugs me, is blocking usage of analytics systems that you cannot access a site without it. Makes the site unusable if the analytics are blocked or otherwise fail to load. I keep JS on, but will be damned if I shut of uBlock.

I never liked pure cursive and do a mix, it's more of a print-sive where some letters are always print (F, J, G, Q, a couple others) and others are cursive depending on flow, speed, etc.

I have a bit more practice because I also sketchnote.

Non-snarky question: how much music do you finish?

Every time I think about getting more into synths, I worry that I'll just end up endlessly noodling and never actually complete any songs. Years ago, I bought a copy of Reason and had tons of fun playing with it, but eventually I realized that after every session, I was rarely any closer to having a completed work I could share with others.
>when a person is sick or injured, they usually are not able to comparison shop

You argument seems to be that since this doesn't work in all situations, it is useless. I strongly disagree.

On my current commute to work, I drive by at least 2 major hospitals and know that a 3rd is not far out of the way. If I was willing to drive up to 2 hours, I could choose from at least 7 major hospitals. For emergencies I don't have time to shop. If it is something important but planned (fixing a torn ACL) it would be nice to be able to look up the price at the 7 different hospitals. If one is 1/3 the price of the others, I know which one I am picking. Current rules make it impossible to price shop for fixing an ACL this would make it at least possible.

Is there a reason to keep wifi enabled on a mobile phone while one is sleeping? There are certainly reasons against it. For one, it drains battery when one is not using the device.

Unless I am downloading something while I sleep, I disable the interfaces on computers while I am asleep. If I control the gateway that the mobile phone uses, then I can disable the interface on the gateway.
It's slow.

I got laid off because the startup I was at was relying on a huge gov't grant to come in, the gov't dragged their feet then boom, the startup had to go more lean.

No clue if they've gotten it yet or just decided to abandon a possible huge payday in a few years (or decades, who knows.)
It's hard to do because the upfront costs are so high you'd drive out manufacturers.
Electric cars can be bought and sold used just like any other car. That Honda was once new, too. I bought two used electric cars for a pretty decent price. Just because Tesla's are nice cars doesn't mean they're bad. Additionally, a lot of the statistics thrown out about manufacturing emissions for cars is actually false and based on old data. Besides, we need to change our manufacturing base to decarbonize entirely as well. Which will be a LOT easier if electric vehicles are widespread (as many vehicles are needed in the manufacturing process, from mine to distribution).

I am in favor of densifying cities and zoning reform, etc, but you have to realize it took half a century to get to suburbanization, and it will take another half century at least to reverse it. Climate change isn't going to wait for our lifestyle changes. It won't. We can't afford the time.

Technical solutions are faster than cultural ones with the possible exception of martial law.

The problem with Patreon - and thus Quilette, which is 95 percent funded by Patreon - is that there's a massive gulf you can't cross. Popular Content Creator who has a hojillion Patreon backers and gets $10,000 a month from 'em has no worries; person who plays about with it in their spare time and gets $5 a month can buy a beer. Job's a good 'un.

But what about the person who wants to write full time, but hasn't built the audience yet? How do they go from $5 a month to paying the bills? In my case, I didn't have to: by the time I switched careers I had enough regular clients to cover all my outgoings, albeit only just. Quit the day job, picked up some more clients, and here I am doing it full-time to this day.

If I were relying wholly on Patreon - or Brave, or Flattr, or even Medium - I couldn't have done that. Patreon isn't going to give me $300 on spec to write an article that might not do well; Medium won't front me a few grand against royalties so I can take time to write a book.

D'you know who will? The traditional publishers.

I appreciate you have a personal stance on this, but so do I - and mine comes not from the perspective of "I'd like to read this but it's on a website I don't like" but from the perspective of "if I don't get paid for this I'm literally homeless."

Actually, I have a Patreon account - https://www.patreon.com/ghalfacree - I signed up just before the new fee scheme came in to lock in the old rates, but never launched it (hence the zero backers.) Don't really have time to give it the love it would need to gain traction, either - again, we're back to the problem of not having the cash to go from zero Patrons to I-can-feed-my-children Patrons.
We can’t pretend that this will solve everything, but I also struggle to see how it could hurt consumers. It seems like a common sense proposal with potential to help consumers.
LPC (think Speak'n'spell, PCjr speech adapter, etc.) and variants is really the only way to achieve this. A 1.44MB floppy has 1,457,664 bytes available after formatting. LPC at 2400 bits per second means you can store 80 minutes of speech on a 1.44MB floppy.

A big flaw in the OP's testing is that he converted the audio to 8-bit PCM before feeding it to the encoders. That added 48dB of high-frequency noise and distortion for absolutely no reason. He might have found his sibilants ("s" sounds) sounding better had he not done that.
>You don't have to "talk" with a CSR online, it's a chat window

You're just splitting hairs - you still have to have a conversation with someone, and the rep in the chat box makes it just as difficult as if you'd called in. When I canceled, the rep kept asking me if I was sure, reminded me multiple times what I would be missing out on if I went through with it, etc.. It took more than 5 minutes to get them to pull the trigger on canceling my account.

>You can cancel with an email to unsubscribe@nytimes.com

But I, and many other users, just want to click on "My Account" and then click a button that says "Cancel Account".

>By disabling auto-renewal the subscription will automatically be canceled at the end of the subscription period

NYT doesn't tell you that that's a method you can use to cancel your account, and not everyone is likely to think of it.

That too should probably be viewed with skepticism. Unless the car has a way lower weight and frontal cross section it's unlikely to be vastly different than existing vehicles. The motor and supporting equipment isn't going to me any more efficient.
Mark my words: later this year Trump will allow re-importation of drugs, and Big Pharma won't be able to charge 5-10x for the same thing in the US. The only reason why previous administrations haven't done this is good old fashioned corruption.
You're right to be skeptical when costs are omitted. Skepticism is especially warranted when you're looking at a standalone company. However, cost estimation can be a bit of a dark art, especially for side projects. Sure, the article would be better if we at least got the readily available vendor cost information: hosting, contractors, etc. That still wouldn't tell us everything though: cost of the owner's time, cost of failed prior projects, etc. In short, generating a total cost estimate involves multiple choice variables.

At any rate, do you believe his recurring costs, however you quantify them, are likely to be anywhere near $20k a month? It seems very likely that this is a profitable venture.
Most people have some family members or friends who would do that. Where i live (admittedly not USA) it's very rare for a person to go to a doctor alone.

No dynamic DNS? This is literally the name of the company they bought.

And the migration is just a sign up for a new service after exporting my zone config? They really don't care about losing customers it would seem. Easy enough, my router supports domains.google.com for ddns and my domain registration is already there, it's time for DNS to follow it.
Of course it's not binary, there is a gradient. Proprietary doesn't always imply evil. In fact the Linux kernel includes proprietary software in the form of blobs and I don't mind very much. I'm also very glad for example that the computer history museum is publishing ancient software, even if the licenses don't conform with the four freedoms.

The question is how much of a problem it means in the end. How complex is the proprietary piece? How replaceable? How well is it confined? Does it impose any restrictions onto my behaviour or use of the device/service/etc?

The thing with open source is that it's unpaid contributions. People work on your thing, making it better.

Now when you put a source-available licensed software out there and ask for contributors, what you are saying is that you want people to have a major disadvantage compared to you, in addition to all the advantages that you as maintainers already have. I'm not sure whether the allen institute asks for contributors on this or just puts it there to satisfy your curiosity but I wouldn't work on it for free.

The allen institute's main goal is to advance science. It's fine if their stuff is proprietary, they'll do a good job then as well, but if they want to be in the open source community they should accept its rules and not make their own. Ultimately, the act of putting it out there is great and maybe one day they'll change it. We've seen Microsoft undergo the same transition.

Caring about the license is very important. The four freedoms aren't so important because of inertia or dogma but because of pragmatism. They include the very minimum, the very core of what makes open source software open source.
What the fuck is wrong with you? Seriously?

Next time you're in a car accident, I really want you to stop and "comparison shop"
What a shitty comment! Go OP, you're doing great.
I'm really glad this is coming back - I've bought it several times over the years and really enjoyed flying it. In more recent versions using the ATC and trying to make it as realistic as possible experience - flying around between nearby local airports.
(You handled both admirably well, I would just stop responding to this person.)
You're not wrong, but here's the problem: government can become autocratic, and private companies will become autocratic.

At least with a government you have a shot at being ruled by something other than a private entity's self-interest.
What kind of proof do you expect? Even if I somehow had the wire transfer receipt in hand, Facebook could simply be giving Visa and Uber a $10M rebate on their advertisement bill in return. This is not a material sum for these companies when it comes to such a major partnership.

However, since these rules are supposed to apply to everyone who wants a seat at the Libra Association, I do assume that Uber and Visa are paying the fee.
No doubt that is true. I was referring to the scientists motivation to ‘engrave’ the Bible
Oh, I'm using this since early 2000s. And I've subscribed to several channels like location, emergency, tourism, football, weather. Most of them don't work. I get location messages regularly but they make SMS like sound. And my LG G5 doesn't have special sound settings in Cell Broatcasting app. So it looks like wheter you have the alert sound depends a bit on what phone/software you are using. I though that there is a new protocol. But anyways, I like cell broatcasting.

I use it to solve problems. I have a database with millions of unstructured JSON documents. I wrote a tool in Haskell to scan the database, parse the unstructured documents and collect the results. It displays the ratio of successful parses and the top N parse errors with a sample to add to my test suite.

Once I can parse 100% of the database I can use another library I'm working on that can migrate between data structures while preserving information and provenance.

Then I can safely migrate millions of lines of unstructured documents with dozens of weird corner cases to a collection of documents with consistent structure and few corner cases.

Sure I could do this in pretty much any language on the market but I've put relatively little effort into this and am nearly done. Programming in Haskell has a good power-to-weight ratio.

I don't really have anything to complain about tools-wise. It's all standard fare or better than most other language ecosystems as far as I'm concerned.

People I know who have worked in commercial aviation have claimed that it takes more paperwork to put a bolt on a plane than into a human body.

Race into Space Is the Free Software Version of Buzz Aldrin's Race into Space
It is sad that British society is losing the belief in a stiff upper lip.

I think it is becoming accepted to make excuses everywhere. For individuals and groups, it is now seen as as okay to not to aim higher.

There are so many hard working people who were never handed anything, have actual physical disabilities, and they still work extreme hours to take care of their families and not be a burden.

I always think of how we construct Kobayashi Marus to tell ourselves and others that there are no-win scenarios, in some odd attempt to justify limiting ourselves to only grim options and schadenfreude for those who fail to echo acceptance.

What if this belief in a gritty realpolitik is an excuse for not wanting to think harder to achieve what is right? That individuals and groups willingly believe in a local maxima, because the hill climbing required to get the right outcome is accepted as fantasy?

Not sure that's correct though. For banks, deposits are liabilities, while assets are loans and cash-on-hand, which they are required to hold fractionally against the total amount of their deposits. In this example, the bank is holding $200, has assets of $800, and liabilities of $1000. Adding it up, you have ($200 + $800) - $1000 == $0.
