There isn't a ton of value to the GH series for what I do, which is more video than film--I mostly shoot video game events (and I've been running a ton of them remotely since COVID started at https://twitch.tv/tracecomplete -- only need one camera for that, though!).

I like my GH4, but for photo it wasn't much better than the G7 and the G7 could shoot 4K60 and was about equivalent (again, for my purposes) when dumping to an external recorder.

The G9 with Firmware 2.0 has almost made the GH5 obsolete, too.
End of an era... :(
I have to disagree with you. While assuming Gaussian disturbance terms results in a linear regression, the linear regression framework is more general. It makes no assumptions about the distribution of the disturbance terms. Instead, it merely restricts the variance to be constant over all values of the response variable.
Unfortunately only dumbasses vote. Smart people won't vote away their souvereignty to others who are then going to make far reaching decisions about their life. Basically it's choosing to become a slave.

> Should I get an ARM Mac? ...if you use virtualization often, I wouldn't recommend it.

I use virtualization continuously, but not for anything that needs to be as fast as possible.

I won’t hesitate to get an ARM Mac once I can run x64 Windows VMs on it. (Presumably VMWare Fusion or Parallels, and for once I won’t feel ripped off by the upgrade pricing.)

Docker on Mac doesn’t work that well today, so I don’t have any workflows that depend on it.
Agreed. If they do pass something like this it had better include net neutrality provisions for any ISP taking the money, too.

Each of us has to decide individually where to draw the line. The important thing is to keep your actions aligned with those words, and to not warp your moral system to accommodate a cushy job.

Personally I would never work for Facebook, but I might work for Microsoft (at least, on ethical grounds). That's based in my belief that Facebook causes more harm to the world than good, and that Microsoft (probably) doesn't. At least not to an egregious level.

If someone presented me a genuine moral argument for why they still believe Facebook isn't a net negative for the world, as their reason for continuing to work there, I could respect that. If someone said they're continuing to work there just because they don't care or don't like to think about it, I cannot respect that.
It’s possible that you can wait for the time traveler to arrive from the future with his time machine.

Then you can eliminate him, and take his time machine, and reverse engineer it to figure out how it works. Then you can travel further into the past, to meet your younger self, and give your younger self the theory and the blueprints to build such a time machine. Then, your younger self can patent it, and claim all legal intellectual property rights to it for the next 100 years.

And you can also tell your younger self to buy certain stocks in specific companies, that will enable your younger self with the financial capital to build such a time machine.

Thus, in the end, who invented the time machine? You did.
This is simply not true. Federal money wasn't used to build broadband until Obama's second term, and that amounted to a couple of billion a year since 2012. (Of the tens of billions invested in broadband networks annually.)
I totally disagree, how far do we want to go back? Reparations should be provided as funding the schools, better education for poor and impoverished neighborhoods, not some kind of a $4000 check to people of color.

Why not focus on improving communities? I don't want to replace meritocracy with favored treatment one iota, doesn't matter if you were disadvantaged or not.

It is the height of hypocrisy as:

- What about native indians?

- What about asian minorities?

- What about people with disabilities?

- What about people with low IQ scores?

- What about people with low grades in schools?

- What about people that got killed by Genghis Khan?

- What about people that died in the crusades?

At this point, this whole thing lands on a shaky foundation of hypocrisy and favored treatment which is kind of ironic that that's exactly the problem you're trying to solve.

Born with a brown skin? You've got things lined up pretty good for you just because you were born brown. Born with a white skin? You've got things lined up pretty much against you just because you were born white (for the record, I am not white). This is reversing what used to happen. I don't think this is the solution, the solution is to go fix the problems in the first place - higher funding to impoverished schools, lifting up the people from poverty and letting these communities flourish. Colored or not. Instead, Democrats focus on reparations in place for meritocracy.

I want a society that stops talking about race on both sides - the oppressive and the oppressed. Color of the skin should be taught as a matter of historical context, not some kind of a revenge/reparations. Stop wasting energy on trying to undo history, instead focus on the future.
> But with longevity and other deeply existential problems, the horror of what’s happening has been tragically normalized.

I will never understand this attitude. Why don't we see how valuable aging and death are? How can we possibly reframe this as a "horror". The horror is this idea that personal identity can go on indefinitely. Aging is a process of coming to terms with death. None of this is being "tragically normalized". What's being normalized is the idea that we can have everything we want all the time forever without any spiritual or material costs.

> current major ISPs don't want to build the infrastructure we should find someone else who will.

There are no such people. Both Baltimore and Los Angeles put out bids asking for companies willing to build fiber networks on certain terms. Nobody volunteered. E.g. https://la.curbed.com/2018/1/9/16863352/free-internet-los-an...

> Los Angeles officials planned to build up a network through a public-private partnership, passing off the costs of the ambitious infrastructure project to an outside provider. Blumenfield announced last year that the city never received a workable proposal from a private company to build out the network.
They're definitely cheap, but so are the Panasonics, like the G7. What I'm saying is that I don't know what Olympus brings to the table given that they're more photo-forward, but not really much better than the Panasonic cameras, and much worse for video.

That 25mm Panasonic lens is a boss, though. I have two, along with the shorty 20mm Panasonic (which is not as good; it doesn't do AF-C, wtf?) and the 42.5mm Panasonic (which is the most delightful lens I own if I have enough room to use it).

I also have two of the Panasonic 14-140mm video lenses, and while I don't love shooting at like f3.5 they are invaluable when I'm working on-site.
I think people are fixating on one problem here as an example of how broken the UI is. What about the problem where a pilot gets great down, does a go around, and forgets to put the gear up? In this case, how could anyone defend not having the plane out the gear up automatically, with warnings?

Just because we have an "obvious example right in front of us" does not mean it is the only failure mode that needs to be considered in the design of the system.
What the public is discovering with the recent spotlight on this subject, is that the current system of police behavior is the result of a complex web of misaligned (and frequently malicious) interests having their sway over police departments and the law.

I disagree with your characterization here, because I don't believe improved training materials are at odds with all of the other overhauls needed throughout the system.

Separately, EFF has a secondary concern here: they are interested in increased transparency around electronic surveillance practices used by the police. Information like this could be useful for mounting a legal defense by drawing attention to outdated/disproven police practices.
I want to homeschool my future kids but it is still illegal in my country (illegal as in: if you attempt it, the government will arrest you and send the kids to an orphanage)

Thing is: public schools here outright suck, teach lots of bullshit and are dangerous.

Private schools are crazy expensive, and although they are more useful they still teach a lot of bullshit.

Also the educational style of all schools here is outright awful, there is an article from 1950s I believe written by Richard Feynman and it still applies 100%
> Why shouldn't they be allowed to? It's just a secured loan.

From the perspective of a bank it's a great deal. Either they get the premiums and interest on a loan or if the landlord defaults, they get the asset. But think of it in terms of the community. This helps concentrate wealth for the wealthy. People with lots of assets are more likely to qualify for a loan and they can afford higher house prices than those with less. This can cause cost of housing in residential areas to increase and lead to locking out new residents from becoming home owners in the area they live.

> Why should banks give out personal loans where someone can do whatever they want with the money?

Personal loans have higher premiums, higher interest rates and lower limits because they are not backed by high value assets.

> Why do credit cards exist? Why are brokers allowed to provide margin accounts?

The simple answer is that they are profitable to the providers.

I don't think high eviction rates are signs of a healthy society.
Touch and drag is easy to jump the volume up/down variable amounts but really sucks compared to a single key press for "just a little louder" or "just a little quieter." There is something satisfying in the discrete steps of volume notches.

On the other hand, my speakers have a physical volume dial that provides feedback via friction on movement so I like that better than touchbar or physical up/down buttons.

This title makes my eye twitch.

The times when I've seen testers and TDD come into a "vs" situation, the whole thing was invariably just senselessly tragic. The testers saw developers writing tests as an immediate threat, and responded to in a very self-defeating fashion. They would refuse to acknowledge the automated tests and insist on manually testing everything. Perhaps even, paradoxically enough, increasing their manual testing load by creating manual versions of as many automated tests as possible. This would, in turn, reduce the time available for digging deep and doing the kinds of testing that aren't amenable to automation (or to automating with a typical unit testing framework), while also increasing the need for painful things like code freezes. Ultimately, ironically enough, the work they were doing became increasingly redundant, and the automated testing did, in the end, turn out to be a serious threat. Not to the interesting and highly specialized work they wanted to be doing, but to the senseless busywork they unnecessarily roped themselves into.

But not by necessity. It's so much nicer when QA can collaborate with and guide the developers' automated testing efforts. It's such an easy win-win situation: Developers get close guidance from software quality experts on how to ship higher-quality software, and testers get to spend less time stuck in a quagmire of tracking down and filing reports for a mess of silly little bugs that never should have made it onto their desks in the first place. Which should hopefully kick off a virtuous cycle of everyone helping everyone else be more productive and happier at work.

I use almost exclusively lenses from 20-60 years ago and conveniently avoid all the Nikon vs. Canon vs. Sony, L vs. non-L ridicule and so on. It's kind of nice because when it comes to my equipment people don't know what to ask and then just start talking about actual photography as an art.

The solution to countering the worry you stated through sarcasm is to organize, know who your trust network of reasonable people are, and rally towards educating. If there was such one or many trusted network hierarchies plugged into systems like Twitter, where people could filter based on these networks for their guidance, then things would be much cleaner than they currently are.

> Test-driven development was supposed to eliminate the need for independent testing.

Who seriously makes this claim?
Indeed. What usually happens is that trends develop for photos that can only be taken using expensive gear. So for example, when I was a kid and everyone was shooting "full frame", no-one gave too much of a toss about background blur -- beyond the obvious fact that some (easily achievable) degree of it is often useful for softening distracting backgrounds. Now people obsess over paper thin DoF because it's a sign of expensive gear. I suspect it will go out of fashion again in a few years, once smartphones perfect computational blurring.
Personally, I can't imagine ever being interested in an extension like this. In general I think I'd prefer consuming less news (such that media bias doesn't influence my thoughts) rather than consuming more news to get all sides on "the issues".

That said, I find these sort of trends fascinating because it's producing its own form of bias in terms of what views are valid opposing views, and which views are simply bunk. I'm assuming, for example, if I read an article about a covid vaccine I wouldn't be suggested an anti-vaxx article claiming that a covid vaccine will give me autism. The decision not to do so, however reasonable, means that there is a level of curation and gatekeeping which could manifest as toxic bias in theory.
Being too early is the same as being wrong.
Yeah. I'd compare this to the fifth amendment issues around providing a password to a computer, safe, etc., where (IIRC) compelling a defendant to provide the password is contingent on having strong arguments to the effect that they own the device in question, that they have the password, and most importantly that the contents of the device are essentially a foregone conclusion.

That same "foregone conclusion" doctrine should apply here too. IMO (but IANAL) the court's argument here could be easily applied to interception/seizure of any communications between client and attorney, which is absurd.

edit: I guess by "the court's argument" I mean the mostly-implicit notion that "filter teams" are a sufficient mechanism to obviate any concerns over the government intercepting privileged communications. Most of what I read seemed to be an implicitly (again with the implicitude!) ex post facto justification of seizing the package based on the fact that it did contain non-privileged materials, and said materials would have been subject to discovery anyway.
How can we separate politics from work when making products for people?

Being ideological neutral is still a political stance, because it's an implicit backing of the status quo.

> Seems like "any Cannon" is the only sensible answer.

Why? Most cameras made after 2014 are more than adequate for most non-pro hobbyists. A recent vintage Olympus or Panasonic M43 camera is still pretty competent, and assuming you mean 4/3 by "full four thirds" and not "micro four-thirds", you can always get a mount adapter to use it with an M43 camera. IIRC, the E-M series might work best with the old 4/3 lenses from a focusing perspective though.

> it is not morally permissible to engage in intrinsically immoral acts (sorry, utilitarians/consequentialists)

How would anyone define an intrinsically immortal act? It seems dishonest to discard well-established schools of thought while ignoring the very premise that makes them relevant.

> Finally, there must be a proportionality between the good and bad effects that justifies the toleration of the bad effect.

These two statements directly contradict each other.
I never said they weren't "real" communists, I said there's nothing wrong with that.

There is a difference between communism and nazism.

Communism is simply the belief that the workers should own the means of production. It's like being a "witch". You might think it's complete nonsense and doesn't work in the real world (I'd agree with you), but if people want to be witches (or wiccans or whatever), they should be allowed to be.

Nazism, on the other hand, is an inherently evil ideology. Hopefully, I don't have to explain why.

And once again, you've mistakenly conflated communism with totalitarianism (which is what 1984 is actually about).

As a casual underwater photographer I hope the Olympus TG series rugged compact cameras live on under the new owner. I know compact cameras are a dying niche market in general. But no one has figured out a good solution for using smartphone cameras underwater (there are waterproof housings but the controls are terrible and they don't really work with strobes or wet lenses). The housings for DSLRs and similarly sized mirrorless cameras are too bulky and extremely expensive.

That's true, but then again what could be any better than what we have now? My camera takes really excellent pictures, I can use any lens made in the last century and have it autofocus, I can send images to my phone almost instantly, I can record amazingly high quality video, if I decide I want to I can use HDR+ and do dynamic stacking to reduce noise and increase dynamic range, I can send the files to my computer wirelessly and edit them with amazing flexibility, and so on. So I don't really know what else I could want.

The fact that cameras are so good that no one has managed to improve them is a good thing. I can buy a high quality camera now and still get great performance out of it in ten years, and when I want to switch gear if I've been careful I can sell it at very similar prices to what I paid for it. Since the only reason I was updating my phones was camera quality this also makes it a good long term decision as each two years I pay 500$ less on my phone as I buy an older model that suits me just fine.
From the EFF (a civil liberties organization, not a tech company) coverage:

> We’ve explained how the EARN IT Act could be used to drastically undermine encryption. Although the bill doesn’t use the word “encryption” in its text, it gives government officials like Attorney General William Barr the power to compel online service providers to break encryption or be exposed to potentially crushing legal liability.

> The bill also violates the Constitution’s protections for free speech and privacy. As Congress considers the EARN IT Act—which would require online platforms to comply with to-be-determined “best practices” in order to preserve certain protections from criminal and civil liability for user-generated content under Section 230 (47 U.S.C. § 230)—it’s important to highlight the bill’s First and Fourth Amendment problems.
