Scaling the picture is the problem. What parent is trying to say is that the distance the physical paper has to move for the sensor to see 1 pixel of movement depends on the height of the sensor above the paper.

If you want to know how many millimeters the paper moved based on sensor input, this is important (especially if you want precision on the order of dot size in high-dpi printing).
just think about it. Factories produce with near zero human muscle costs endless supplies of goods that take care of all our vital needs. With a tiny little effort we could almost entirely automate food production. The way it is currently set up is because of the invention of money and ownership we are in a false sense of lacking something. We lack nothing anymore. In reality there is no lack, hasn't been since the invention of factories and farm machines.

Alan Watts predicted our overabundance of goods in the sixties and the problems we will face (and are facing).

I’d prefer to reserve as much of the country for my own descendants as possible, thanks. That’s what this country is: territory that our ancestors have bestowed upon us so we can have a place to live. We should do the same for our descendants, instead of just giving it away to whoever wants it. The rest of the humans on this planet already have their own countries.
> The following weeks and months seemed to offer little excitement – the Kaspersky software worked essentially as well or as badly as Windows Defender.

Well, since Microsoft offered free AV and then bundled with Windows, I'v never looked back and felt kind of relieved I don't have to install 3rd party AV. Defender just doesn't get in the way.

I trust Microsoft to do the right thing more than other AV vendors that put Value substracted features: ads, disturbing, user-hostile notifications, performance degrading bling-bling (toolbars...) etc.

If I really want to check some file, i'll let VirusTotal.com scan it via every AV product they are aware of.

Some of that automation might have needed servers to control, I was referring primarily to the "automatically adjusting lights", which hasn't been a luxury feature for a long time, even in Gates' house.

That was mostly Gates "eating his own dog food"[1]. Using anything other than NT could have been bad optics.

If you don't want it that's totally fine. That doesn't mean that some people (including myself) find it incredibly convenient to be able to control lights on a schedule, or by voice, even if you didn't set it in advance (as would be required for a traditional mechanical switch).

No one is forced to buy this type of smart bulb.
None of these make a physical and digital reset together impossible.

I was caught by this. I set up a domain for my family, and it's what we've all used for our email addresses for ages. When "Google Apps for Domains" came along, I migrated us on to it.

And now I find that I can't have a YouTube family account. Can't have a Google Play Music family account. Can't have a bunch of other services, because Google created multiple types of accounts, and never put the effort in to make them work seamlessly.
To be understandable, ML solutions need to cleanly separate the "characteristic finding" parts with the "decision tree" parts, however the most efficient networks may well have optimised these things together, like a compiler might.

For example the first impresive ImageNet solvers clearly worked by coming up with a number of characteristics based mainly around various "textures" rather than "shapes", but this wasn't obvious when it was first published. It really seemed like it could "recognise a Panda" etc.
The way to satisfy both camps is sane defaults.

The fact that there is a logical chain of engineering considerations that got us to this point I take as granted (yes, the article thinks it could have been done better but, as you point out, there are safety problems).

But our world is becoming more and more like a Doglas Adams novel - I seem to remember in one of the H2G2 books that they considered their civilisation so advanced that they did away with TV remotes, and the TV could detect that you wanted to change channel when you make a gesture. The upshot being that if you didn't want the channel to change or the volume to suddenly shoot up, you had to sit completely rigidly still for the duration of your programme.
Daniel Cassidy's "How The Irish Invented Slang" (CounterPunch & AK Press, 2007) has an entire chapter dedicated to the etymology of "Jazz" including reprints of articles mentioned in the OP. It includes much of what Porter writes about, but is a much deeper dive. It's well researched and worth the read, but with a grain of salt.

Where Porter's parenthetical (I think “gin-i-ker” means “full of gin.”) is a shot in the dark, Cassidy's polyglot ear for slang catches the Irish "tine caor" (pron. jin-i-kær) meaning "raging fire and lightning," delivering a livelier and more nuanced read. You'll see mention of Scoop Gleeson, but find out he's holed up 40 miles north of SF in Boyes Hot Springs, CA covering the Seals spring training. There may never be a definitive answer to the headline question, but as far as I know, this is likely as close as you'll get.

A few year ago a friend was working as a consultant for Disneyland mentioned about how little Disneyland would pay its lowest rung employees who kept the place running. Instead the workers were fed corporate bullshit about how lucky they were to work at the "happiest place in the world."

Perhaps being educated or skilled does not reduce one's susceptibility to psychological manipulation.
Like you said, let's not overlook the facts.
The fact is, India and Pakistan had visa on arrival up until 1974.
The fact is, people from both sides of the border could still get naturalised citizens across the border up until early 70s.
The fact is, both India and Pakistan did exactly the same things. Just look at the accession of Junagadh and Hyderabad estate into India. India got away with it because both the states were land locked and Pakistan couldn't help. If accession of Kashmir's raja is right, so was the declarations by nawab of junagadh and hyderabad.
The fact is, the 1947 war ended with UN intervention which demanded plebiscite for kashmir. India had agreed, but so far failed to conduct that. Not only that, India doesn't even allow UN observers, while Pakistan do.
I can throw in a lot of facts in here.

Oh wow, the woman in the video had to undergo a lung amputation in 2016, and everything shown in the video seems to be the culmination of a crazy amount of unscientific experimentation on a patient:

> Macchiarini admitted that one year after the operation Claudia had to be repeatedly saved with a stent in her airways, a method which worked so badly for her before. Macchiarini and his team also claimed in 2014 to have been watching over his patient “every 3 months”.

>It was however too late. In July 2016, Claudia underwent a lung amputation. Luckily, she was Macchiarini’s only trachea transplant patient in Barcelona, a second operation was stopped due to technical formalities.

Yes, competing with Google is still a main challenge. Still, Apple seems to be managing by providing the browser for free as a value-add when you buy their hardware, and by preventing other browser engines from running on iOS.

Mozilla's financial dependence on Google is still a major challenge, which they'll hopefully be able to fix before push comes to shove.

Microsoft unfortunately did not seem to be able to financially justify the maintenance of their own engine - though then again, their bet appears to be on Windows integration rather than tracking protection.
Dropbox was able to ship two mobile applications for 5-6 years using this strategy, so it's premature to dismiss it.

Furthermore, it looks like their team changed a lot and they were unable to retain the C++ talent that implemented the original strategy, nor were they able to find interested developers.

The mobile landscape has also changed enormously during those 5 years, even the official programming languages have changed.
The same reason why cell phone roaming in the EU was such a desaster before the regulation. It's too many different players (each country has one ore more railroad companies).

Thus, the upfront investment cost of unification, planning and building such high speed tracks would by far be greater than for any other player just operate an airline. At the same time, the demand for climate friendly travel is not high enough, given that everyone acts selfish (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_dilemma#Public_goods).

Politicians say that air traveling should not be cheaper than railroad traveling. However, I expect that they will come up with regulations which just makes flying as expensive as railroad traveling.

Hubs save all the pain with smart lighting system. No need for an account, system works locally. If you wanna control them remotely, you can (but you don't have to). Connected to the wrong wifi? Reset a hub instead of individual bulbs. You pair bulbs with hubs and have just one device spamming traffic to your router.

I think in the specific case of C++, this is mostly an Android problem, not a general cross-platform problem.

C++ works just fine on iOS, and interoperates very well with Obj-C (not sure about Swift, though).

C++ is a mess on Android. It can certainly be made to work, but the tooling and library support is minimal.

Agreed. Being able to do it real time is definitely nice but I don't think it's very important. I'd rather optimize for quality.

FWIW I tried doing the same thing using waifu2x, but it was about one or two orders of magnitude too slow. I don't remember the details but I think it worked out to about 2 weeks of 24/7 operation on a 1070 to upscale a full show (don't remember if it was 1-cour or 2-cour) to 1080p. Results were okay, gave kind of an oily texture to it but the denoising worked quite well. If it took only a day or two to convert a full show I'd consider doing it on some old 480p shows with bad quality, though I probably would just watch the original video myself.
I kind of do that to Spotify - I have to listen to tracks I don't necessarily like so that their suggestion mechanism would stop pushing me the same stuff I had already listened to.

One WeWork in London (125 Shaftesbury Avenue) even "closed" to the public as Facebook leased out the entire facility.

As far as I can tell, WeWork is not really a coworking business. It's a large-scale office space leasing business that uses coworking as advertising.
I'm 28 and still enjoy doing that.
Why do you hate it?
I don't think Landlords are winning from this. In fact I think it's interesting that this dynamic is actually going to hose landlords the worst.

Right now we have a situation where companies like WeWork are creating huge amounts of demand by offering extremely low rents to tenants on short leases and renting spaces from landlords on long term leases at high prices. This is stimulating the creation of more office space.

If this continues for a long time, great landlords are rolling in it! But if we're right about how this is going to go - these companies are going to run out of money, and when they do run out of money, they're just going to fail to pay those long term leases. The landlords are the ones left holding the bag - they'll have a load of office space with broken contracts, that there's no demand for, because all the demand was stimulated by renting it out at a loss.

At that point the bottom will fall out of the market. Landlords will be stuck with a load of broken contracts, tenants will have unrealistic expectations and demand will collapse as people go back to working in cafes etc.

You're widely overstating the importance of TechCrunch within Oath if you believe that that is the root of the name.

While it's obviously well known within these circles, engadget is approximately equivalently sized (see Alexa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engadget vs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TechCrunch ), and even when the company was described internally by its components they were AOL, Yahoo and sometimes also VDMS (which had been transferred to AOL from Verizon pre-Yahoo acquisition).

The name is dumb, we all agreed. As clearly did Verizon, since the company has been renamed since. But it was dumb in the sense of the CEO had a dumb idea that didn't translate well to other markets and not "The CEO had an even dumber idea and marketed it as being a slightly less dumb idea"

Mobile is getting crappier, so I can see why C++ developers would be reluctant to partake.

Google and Apple keep piling feature on top, so mobile has the 2nd biggest churn after front-end. Recently even the preferred programming language changed on both platforms.

It's under pressure from web-applications, which although of inferior quality are easier to develop.

Most apps aren't anything special and require mostly UI and UI framework skills (animations, platform-specific APIs, etc).

Yes, because people do not resent you for making bad decisions for bad reasons. /s

This only works if you make decent decisions.

People resenting you is the first step to quitting. It is said that people quit bad bosses, not the job.

Every manager would want that to be true, but it often isn't. They lack expert knowledge. Or they cannot actually make decisions that actually matter themselves, or sometimes they have unrealistic expectations.
