You keep saying this, but you can’t possibly know it unless you have inside knowledge.

So either state your source or just say that you’re guessing.
It would be interesting to know which lenses you used on the E-M10, but while I made good photos with the 6s, in general they wouldn't compare to what I consistently get with mFT. The size difference between mFT and APS-C is neglible compared to the difference to the smartphone cameras.

Where the iPhone shines is getting nicely automatically post-processed pictures. Olympus has an iAuto mode, which also aims for that. There are also a lot of in-camera settings where you can tweak the produced jpegs, if you don't want to post-process. The best quality you would get though by post-processing raw images on your computer.
This is really interesting! I've lived in 3 cities in this list: London, Beijing, and Chicago.

I can definitely say that I felt the safest in Beijing, at all time. It's a weird feeling being able to just randomly walk for hours in the streets at 4am alone, even if you're a girl, and feel completely safe.

London felt quite safe too, probably the safest city I've lived in in Europe.

Chicago on the other hand, I would never take walks in the evening, got into weird situations many times even during the day. It was quite the scary city for a European! Someone even got shot in my street when I was living there.
Or just an relatively innocent combination of dumbfuckery and confusion. The prosecutor probably already wants to drop the whole matter and try to forget about it, but it's political now.
Interesting findings, but how do we blame the Russians for this?

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latin-america/u-s-officials-sus...

"
The suspicion that Russia is likely behind the alleged attacks is backed up by evidence from communications intercepts, known in the spy world as signals intelligence, amassed during a lengthy and ongoing investigation involving the FBI, the CIA and other U.S. agencies. The officials declined to elaborate on the nature of the intelligence.

I doubt F-Droid has the resources to deal with millions of Huawei users.
Why not just spend all the money you were spending on oil/gas finding/extracting/refining and put it into EVs and renewables instead? Then you will be "forced" to adopt EV's even earlier.
I’m confused by this comment, he can still be better informed than you or I but he’s declaring war on the “deep state” which seems like a fair basis to question his current grasp on reality, no?

Forgive me if I misunderstood your comment

Edit: is this comment offensive or something?

Edit2: yes I get what a deep state “technically” is but this language is still implying a desire to “go to war” with an ill conceived entity. Who is the leader of the deep state? How do you go to war with it? This, to me, sounds like delusion.

Edit3: the deep state circle jerk is real on HN apparently. I’m deeply sorry if my wrongspeak upset you, deeply deeply sorry.
Ideal Platform to Understand Surface Property, Catalysis for Hydrogen Evolution
Can we please speak in terms of angle of view? Converting everything to "35mm SLR equivalent" focal lengths is tiresome and misleading.

The main camera on an iPhone has a 70-degree field of view, which most people consider wide.
> Did WPEngine solved all of your security issues ?

No. Because I'm paranoid and have been hacked before, I still apply additional "hardening" to WordPress. We use various plugins, and Cloudflare to further enhance our client's security.

However hosting with WPE had allowed me to sleep at night, whereas previously I was constantly worried about performance and security of our VPS/dedicated boxes. I'm not a server admin, and if more webmasters were honest with themselves they'd admit that too. WPEngine takes care of running the infrastructure and I can focus on design and building great websites.

The reason I still host and advocate for WPE is the quality support. It is by far the best hosting support I've ever worked with. I have other beefs with WPEngine (for another time) but am happy to continue working with them - never going back to a "VPS" model.
No, we obviously need 14 billion people on the planet so we can have double the number of climate engineers to kick the can down the road /s
You almost had a good point, but we know for a fact that simply doubling sea wall budgets is a dramatically inadequate response to climate change.

For example, obviously that won't do anything to mitigate the temperature increases, agricultural problems, or ecological damage.
Nope. Chrome is the new IE. Standards don't matter when you have a high enough market share- you can do whatever you want and people have to support it.

IE was the reference browser for the web in the 90s, and Chrome is that today.
>The only thing I don't like about them is the torque and instant reaction of the motor make it easy for inconsiderate bus drivers to make the ride quite unpleasant.

Seems easy enough to solve this with a fly-by-wire "throttle" and some software to limit max acceleration from a stop.
This article does say it has insecticidal properties - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4125160/
Because looking at pure economics, electrics were not competitive until recently.
Thanks for posting this, it's much more in-depth and well-thought-out than what I posted.

I think the older HN was more balanced - ie the famous Dropbox launch thread had both "cool, my mom will love this" and "lame, I already do this with rsync". But even on the more general topics of climate change or capitalism, there was a decent mix - I remember one of the very first articles on Jacobinmag made it to the front page. Even if you don't subscribe to any of their ideology, it was still good to get exposed to it and consider it.

I guess the worst thing that I could say about HN today is that it is not as interesting. As discussion becomes more monotonous and predictable, there's fewer new or surprising things that get brought up. I also think it's not really HN-specific, but a small website getting caught up in the zeitgeist.
DEET is a good acetylcholinesterase inhibitor - certainly possible it has mild hallucinogenic effects.

Functional programming seems to let people lapse into "point-free style" fairly easily, which (imho) has a much greater chance of becoming rapidly unreadable. Not to say FP can't be readable as you've demonstrated very well.

Since 1984, one might say.
So 700 000 000/100 000 would be 7 000 - So an initial investment of 7 000 per vehicle they want to buy.

Now if they buy 100 000 vehicles at a rate of $100 000 each (pretty reasonable for industrial vehicles), that is 10 000 000 000 (10 Billion dollars). If it's $50k each, that will be $5B. $5-10 Billion in sales ain't too shabby.
I would argue that "the people who need to read this book" will read it and then announce, yes, of course, that's exactly how I do things. Perhaps that's why it's so popular. Everybody can see themselves in it.

We are fully informed of what happened and how, including through detailed accounts, not least because, under UK law, a public inquest took place.

But, as said, I don't see the point of publicising videos of people being slaughtered.
You made that comment twice in this thread, but you haven’t said why people should look into Scala.
Panasonic has really good image stabilization for MFT systems where lens stabilization and sensor stabilization system work in tandem allowing to take shots with up to 1 second exposure handheld.
Basically it's like having gimble inside the camera.

Panasonic 25mm f/1.7 (50mm f/3.5 equivalent full frame) is under $200 and is an excellent portrait lens.

With initial release of GH5 autofocus was pretty bad, but with the last firmware upgrade apparently it's quite good now.

I however cant yet justify upgrade from GH4, which doesn't have sensor stabilization.
I tend to agree with your obervation.
Molyneux is at best an idiot, and at worst, a white nationalist neofascist.

The idea of going "carbon neutral" is the biggest crock of shit. Literally sitting and breathing is not carbon neutral, all human activity spews out carbon and even in the craziest case if you plant a gazillion trees and bury them it only delays the carbon emissions by a few hundred years.

For this you may use microG. I have it installed for geolocation using Wi-Fi and cellular antennas but never tried to enable the notification service.

I would actually be interested in being able to choose the server used for this service, and would enable it without hesitation if I could use my own server for instance.
This article doesn't mention the declining insect population at all but I would think it's clear that a quickly declining food source would be a major cause of population decline. I wonder if there's a similar decline in other animals that rely on insects, eg bats. Although, interestingly, the article does mention neonicotinoids as a direct reason for the decline in population.

It's hard to imagine humans taking the corrective solution here. My gut says we either continue on this road and completely destroy the natural world a la Trantor in Foundation, just one huge mega-city that fabricates all of its needs, or we die out and the planet recovers on its own.
Byrne calls Buffet his Rabbi... Therefore someone else referred to as a Priest seems less far-fetched, to me.
Chevron and Microsoft Announce Collaboration
I'm curious if they are counting the cameras in cars. Each Tesla has 3+ cameras that actively record when in Sentry Mode. A Costco parking lot in Silicon Valley will have a dozen parked at any given time. That's another 36+ cameras. I can easily imagine a police investigation requesting footage from owners who may have had active recording during a crime.

The number of cameras will increase dramatically in this additional dimension, particularly as other manufacturers start adding surveillance to their vehicles.
Chrome Accessibility Extensions
Was Wittgenstein a Mystic?
I took the fact that his app became popular as a happy accident. That he made it mostly to satisfy himself, because he was, in his words, "scratching his own itch". That it worked out on the app store was just a nice benefit, but not really part of the motivation. Or such was my interpretation, maybe I have it wrong.
That's a rumour - starsandrobots heard it.
i'm not sure how it's the wrong context, but no matter. my point was that the semantic argument is entirely beside the point.

the real question is whether we should consider the externalized costs of fossil fuels in policy decisions, and if so, when and how?

fossil fuels have favored status (not undeservedly) across the world. given what we know now about how it's extraction/use effects the world, including on us humans, should we continue to favor it over other energy sources?

in my estimation, fossil fuels have a useful place in our energy history (as an energy intermediary), but can only be a stepping stone to a more sustainable energy future that more directly harnesses energy from the sun (our ultimate energy source anyway). on the way, we should reduce the harmful impacts of fossil fuels as much as possible, without regard to the profits of oil magnates.

Can't wait for Stripe to integrate PayPal as one of the options. Seems unlikely to happen, but I keep my fingers crossed.

The only Thinkpads that I would ever consider are the T, X, and P (used to be W) models. Other so called Thinkpads are not worth the trouble.

With regards to hardware issues, most of those are due to propriety drivers. Ubuntu has an edge here but unfortunately, there is no way to know it for sure. You have to wait for a while and follow the Thinkpad message boards.
Let's take ThreeSum as an example.

Imagine you're encountering ThreeSum for the FIRST TIME as I did a few days ago. I'd never before seen this problem.

What should my EXPECTATION OF SELF be for this? What is reasonable for someone STUDYING to improve at algorithms. What would be considered SUCCESS?

Should I .... be able to intuit the O(N + NlogN) solution?

Ok maybe you would agree that's unreasonable to be able to just come up with naturally having never seen the problem before.

Should I ... be able to intuit the O(n^2 * logn) solution?

Even that solution might reasonably evade someone? Or not?

Should I .... be able to intuit the brute force solution O(N^3) but have the O(N + NlogN) solution memorized?

From wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3SUM ... it appears that the O(N + NlogN) took formal algorithm research and study. Perhaps it's unreasonable to expect myself to on-the-fly solve some of these algorithms with sub-cubic time?
while you are correct, you happen to replying to someone who owned a ferret for 4 years while living in CA. Yes, I did smuggle the ferrets into CA, but there is a ferret owners group in CA. Also the vets are very nice to ferret owners, and will even sell you ferret food. :-)
Over 20 years ago, my wife and I were driving up highway 395, just east of the California High Sierras. At the time, we were only using disposable cameras. She suddenly asked me to pull over, which I did, and backed up a bit, to right around here: https://goo.gl/maps/dh4gyRPi71ZQmy4b7

She got out of our 1996 Saturn SL, walked around a few minutes, snapped a single picture, and got back in the car.

A couple of months later, she gave me slightly blown up print of that picture, developed in black and white, in a simple frame, and asked if I'd like to put it on my desk at work.

The photo was stunning, and so I took it to work.

Over the year, a number of people came by and commented on the striking beauty of that picture. In fact, two different people (at different times) came, looked at the picture very carefully, and said that they were quite surprised that there was an Ansel Adams photo they had not seen before.

At my suggestion, she entered it into various local and state photography competitions, and won all of them.

Alas, it was lost in a fire many years ago.

My wife has no training, formal or otherwise, in photography. But she has a naturally keen eye for graphic design and layout.

Equipment is good and important; location, timing, and an eye for composition is, in my opinion, far more important.

At this point I think we owe Cuba and Russia an apology for the hysteria involved.

However, if you're looking for a reason you can always find one. From the article, it sounds like the spraying of pesticides was "more than usual" which might mean it was done intentionally to appear as an accident, since the spraying is a good cover.

I expect this would be easy enough to check on if they only sprayed with more frequency at diplomatic residences and the embassy.

Edit: a few replies here are really more thoughtful than my comment. I recommend reading them :)
That's an interesting way of spinning that they couldn't actually achieve a record breaking run. There was a record setting window open for automakers to attempt last night, and given the non-announcement, I'm betting they didn't do better than Porsche.

Many automakers sum of the fastest time through each section from different attempts to calculate the fastest potential time the car can do, but that number is usually very different than what's possible in reality given the human and environmental factors involved in getting a good Ring time, the performance degradation in the tires, brakes, and in this case, the batteries and motors, and just the fact that a good time in one section might be at the cost of a worse time in the preceding or following section for a net negative so the sum of sections time can be flawed.

When the Corvette was attempting a Ring time, it's best sum of segments time was 6:57, but it could only manage 7:04 in real attempts.
Before stripe, I used paypal and it was sooo painful! There are so many terrible APIs out there that waste so much time needlessly.

Then I found stripe. What a treat. Everything was documented and the documentation itself was both readable and didn't go in endless circles like the paypal ones. The error messages were helpful. And every api endpoint had an example, which is hugely helpful: HUGELY! All the other API developers out there can learn from this: you can't underestimate the value of having a working example. Not only that but the testing is much easier in stripe, and there's no need for a bunch of seperate accounts and sandboxes that don't make sense.

Oh and did I mention that the variables describe themselves: the first 3 or 4 letter of an ID says what it is (subscription or etc). Genius! It's little things like this which make Stripe stand out orders of magnitude above the rest of all the APIs in the world.

I hope you guys rule the marketplace for payment processing and wish you all the success you deserve.

Stripe's success in payment processing sends a clear signal to the Paypals and API developers of world: If you're producing an API that sucks, it creates an opportunity for someone else to come eat your lunch. :)

In a dense urban environment, 62 miles is still less than most delivery trucks drive. In the US, the actual average overall is more like 2-3x that.
So the question is this, if there was two versions of a popular torrent site, equal in every way, except you had to pay for one to get the same content. What percentage of users would choose to use the pay site? I suspect a small fraction.
I'd say that number is a bit suspect as the amount of work to refine Texas Sweet (WTI) vs the more difficult to refine oil you find from Venezuela or the entire Middle East (it is heavier or more "sour") is vastly different. This gives a primer on it:

I'm looking to switch to either a P1 or X1 Extreme. I think those would be better equivalents with even better hardware: more max RAM (64gb), 2 SSD up to 2tb each, OLED screens on the 2nd gen versions (on X1E currently and soon on the P1 I understand), better keyboards etc. My company will be buying me one soon. As far as software, for me, after almost a dozen years on OS X, using Linux is superior in almost every single way mainly because of jumpapp [1] and customization (I prefer KDE). Some rough times when first installing with crashes / having to reinstall but it's been stable more or less for months.

I found it curious that you felt a lot of material was anachronistic. Perhaps that's because I was around as a professional before it was the normal and have recommended this book so many times.

Twitter was up in arms over how "toxic" HN is with several high profile people "nice people" taking screenshots and implicitly urging people to flag and call people out.

So, that's likely why.
Agreed - very little blame goes to the pentesters, they didn't act with malicious intent as far as described. It's the higher ups on both sides that are accountable for the dilemma.
Had a 6th gen for nearly 2 years running Fedora. Typing on it now, love it. A couple of points.

1. There's a couple of things to make it Linux friendly - TLP, plus the throttling fix. Even though I use Fedora the Arch Linux wiki is superb for this.

2. BIOS updates are done via software update which is superb.

3. The FN/action keys are the wrong way round, just change it in the BIOS.

4. Same goes for Fn/Ctrl keys - they can be swapped too in the BIOS.

5. Screen is beautiful. I've got the HDR one and it's brighter than any Macbook i've been sat next to on the train.

6. Never got the fingerprint reader or NFC to work, but i've not tried for a year tbf - this may be fixed.

7. Speakers are complete shite.

8. Keyboard is the best you'll get on a laptop this size, it's wonderful.

9. 2x USB-C/Thunderbolt is awesome. Only thing about the XPS 13 I use for work is that the USB-C is on both sides unlike the Lenovo, makes it easier to get a charge cable round.

I honestly love this laptop, even after 2 years I don't see the need for a upgrade.

AMA btw.
