there is nothing obvious in that deduction.

For cinema for instance a loooot of the money that serves into making movies come directly from taxpayer money - a figure I can find in the US is 1.5 billion $ of tax per year for instance in one occurence : https://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/04/us/when-hollywood-comes-t... - and let's not get started about public tv which is pretty much mostly public funds.

Likewise for my country, France - only a minority of money invested in movies comes directly from private pockets: https://i.f1g.fr/media/figaro/704x319_cropupscale/2019/03/19...
What resolution does it produce? My Sony α6100 yields only 1024×576, which is not great, though still better than any laptop webcam at 1920×1080, or mostly even a phone or tablet front-facing camera at 1920×1080.

(The Sony α6100 is also quite happy to run on USB power indefinitely, no fancy battery arrangement needed. I’ve used it thus for multi-hour webcam sessions, and plugged into a wall charger for multi-hour recordings, where its battery would otherwise be depleted after about 100 minutes.)

Another thing to be aware of when using fancy cameras like this is the latency: you’ll get added latency of 100–400ms, which is easily into the disconcerting zone if audio and video are out of sync by that much, so you may need to do things like add a corresponding delay on the audio, if that’s connected to the computer directly (which will give much lower latency). OBS Studio can do this. I don’t yet have an HDMI capture card, so I’m not certain about it, but the impression I’ve received is that latency will be much lower with a decent capture card than the USB/PTP approach, though still probably higher than your webcam.
Depends. I ran into this myself a couple times over the years and dealt with it depending on what changed. What was really nice was the weekly deploy. All commits were fresh in my head so there were not any changes from long ago that I forgot about. That was actually really important. On some holidays we would not do a deploy and even two weeks of changes was a lot more to remember than one week.

So, if I knew the changes well, I could roll back if nothing in the API changed. We didn't like that, but sometimes you just need to be pragmatic. Other times an update was made that forced you to get it working. In this case services helped because rather than the whole system being down, only part of it was. So many of our services were background type work that in most cases, customers would never even know if they were down for even 1-2hrs.

We had good staging environments with a lot of reporting, monitoring and metrics. We never deployed to production code that had not run reliably in staging for a least a couple of days.
Those of us too stupid to cheat end up working for the ones with the sort of low cunning to do it, creating a layer of compromised people with an infinite demand for anything that will relieve their imposter syndrome and moralize or temporarily redeem the nagging shame. Hard to wonder why we have a culture war.
I remember thinking it sounded awful. Automated repackaging and reselling of user-valued loans? The original idea was like the subprime mortgage racket, only with less opportunity for the participants to understand the risks.

The US is a culture that has been repeating things like 'winning isn't everything, it is the only thing'

A large proportion of the students we've caught cheating in our course (I'm a full-time assistant for a first-year CS course) are international students. This is a global phenomenon, not a US-specific one.
Your camera doesn't actually boot in 0.2 seconds, it just wakes up from sleep.

My Sony runs Android and never hangs nor has an shutter lag. Instant response in everything. It can be done.
Yes, fractional scaling is an issue, but I don't think it is as much of an issue as it was a few years ago. In fact, I think the only application that doesn't scale for me is steam currently. Everything else seems to be handled by setting the correct DPI in the xorg.conf and the scaling factor of KDE (150%).

But as this is clearly a software issue, I wouldn't blame the hardware for it ;-)
How have plastics substituted for lead in paint and gasoline additives (genuinely curious)?

Pipes I'm quite familiar with (lead/PVC). It's my understanding gas tends to use ethanol as a substitute, not plastics? No clue about paint. It's also my understanding the vast majority of microplastics found are for plastics designed to be small (e.g. micro beads in soaps) and clothing (e.g. polyester material strands) and not from fragments of larger plastic components (e.g. PVC pipes).

I find it quite interesting you say that in the present time where we are staring down the barrel of global tyranny and most people don’t even have a clue what they’re looking at, let alone that this isn’t all actually fine the way things are as this virus is used to totally upend things through psychological warfare on the whole world, but mostly on the west. For example, we have long had what us communism in the form of subsidies, but now governments are literally running mentally planned economies with trillion dollar “bailout” after “bailout” that is literally deciding on where resources are allocated and which companies survive. What’s even worse, it’s even international communism as hundreds of millions of Americana’s wealth is being given to foreign countries like Sudan, Israel, etc. why exactly does Israel, a very advanced country, get $500 million of Americans’ wealth on top of what has already been given them just in the last year?
Why do you say that? (genuine question)
are you running the literal reddit codebase or a clone codebase, and if so, is it open source?

Lemmy is written in rust, so that is surprising, but it also a react SPA so feels heavy to me when I tried it.

monitor image quality is quite a bit more objective than what audiophiles look for in high end audio equipment. sRGB defines a specific physical color that ought to be displayed for each RGB sequence. if you can get a very accurate display for <$1000 just by doing a bit of research, why wouldn't you?
It's important to see if you are before or after the cliff.

If before then depending on your employment agreement and other docs there could be a scenario where you are fired/let go and get 0% shares.

Your last round valuation was $1,000,000 post so that price would be $141,000 or so for your 14% stake, can include some triggers on when that occurs that doesn't impede the business (ie $xm raised, $y profits).

If not then your ownership of the company is basically 10% on good leaver terms and that is the floor you should accept.

To illustrate assuming 100 total shares

Now:
40.8: him
39.2: you
10: option
10: seed investor

Goes to new cap table of:
40.8 him (57.6% ownership)
10 you (14% ownership)
10 option (14%)
10 seed investor (14%)

You're not going to get bought out now although you could say that your stake is purchaseable in the future at the last round valuation, which is very reasonable and keeps the cap table clear, probably $140,000 per the above with some sort of trigger for that (eg $xm raised, $y profits)
This is what I do (Brio and Blue Yeti USB mic) and I am happy with it. My company locks down laptops so I use no non Windows software but the approved and centrally managed Teams and Zoom. I also have an $80 variable warmth panel light mounted to a desk stand about 8" behind, above and slightly to the side of the web cam. Useful as the lighting changes throughout the day.

I like the mute button directly on the mic.

Just because your co-founder just now feels like "working on it alone" doesn't give him/her the right to force you out, specially if he or she doesn't have any leverage (as you say, the investor is remaining neutral). So what is preventing you from just saying "no, thanks, I'll keep my 40% and keep working on this". What would he/she do, then?
> In 2015, Ophardt explained, the academy made changes to the honor code allowing for second chances.

Why did they change this? Did the other US military academies (USAFA, USNA, USCGA) change their codes/concepts, as well?

The Honor Code is (was?) straightforward and if you broke it, you were gone.
I used to use my real name, until my boss told me my HN comments showed up in his Cortana results when all he wanted to do was search for my email address in his personal contact list. A decent person will feel at least a little bit like a creep searching for someones name on Google to dig up personal details about them, but when all that info just comes along with their email address, it just doesn't sit right. My boss even felt compelled to tell me it happened, not because he saw anything bad, but because he felt like a creep just getting the info like that. Then I started thinking about all the Windows users in the business world that might get the same results under the same conditions, and I just don't need everyone I interact with, across the country, knowing, for example, I'm an atheist before they send me a request to add a new question to a web form.
thorlabs cameras, and scientific cameras in general, have very different response functions. useful if you want to make quantitative measurements, accurately represent a B&W scene, etc. I use a BlackFly (FLIR) camera on my scope, but have been looking to do something similar to you, since the camera API is not V4L2, but rather a custom framegrabber SDK.
I mean, it's just idle speculation from a semi anonymous internet pundit, so I don't think it should cause significant distress. The article itself is much more likely to have an impact on its subject.

Besides, IMHO, we'd all be better off if more people were more informed about, and attuned to the symptoms of, narcissistic personality disorder and sociopathy. Narcissists thrive by blending into society as if they were normally functioning humans, being given the benefit of the doubt, so the only way to protect yourself or others is to be on alert at all times, regardless of your clinical degrees.
I'd prefer to not give second chances to the servicepeople being afforded a $400k education on our dime to cheat and lie only to control the most advanced weapon systems on the planet. But that's just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After successfully navigating almost 4 years at West Point, these idiots risk everything for one single exam. Ignoring the Honor Code violations, their actions demonstrate they simply are not fit to become officers as their decision making skills are severely compromised.

Nemtsov, Politkovskaya, Navalny in Russia.

Also some bad guys, like Khattab, who was killed via poisoned letter.

By no means it's an exhaustive list.

Not Nosik, though. He was a well-known addict and kind of had it coming, so there's no commonly shared suspicion around this.
I worked with someone for about a year without making any money. We had to part ways without anything to show for it. I can empathize.

You didn't say why your co-founder wants to fire you. I suggest digging deeper into those reasons before you haggle on your exit terms.

Assuming you weren't negligent: I would try to point out that pushing you out one month before your equity vests is bad faith on your co-founder's side. Offer to leave voluntarily after your one-year cliff. Otherwise, if your co-founder just wants you gone now, request that you keep your 1-year equity and some severance.

Furthermore: Sometimes it's cheaper to just close the company and use the "lessons learned" to restart a very similar company... And that very similar company won't owe you anything.

Looks like something from Zwift's "Watopia".
As a reminder, if you want to achieve anything with chools, this is how you do it. A polite letter, nonthreatening, filled with facts, and a cost to the school if they continue.
Because trust in your officers is staggeringly important. Even more so when you are put into a combat position and rely on those same officers to lead and guide men and women who may die. Honor and integrity in the military should be one of the most important elements of that person's character.

Add to that, if they can't be trusted in an academic setting where the consequences are a bad grade, how can you trust them in a situation where there are lives at stake?
Did somebody say iSight 2?
Maybe I'm cynical, but I lost my trust in educational institutions when I realized how disconnected grades are from learning. Learning about people cheating didn't do anything to change my opinion. If anything, it made me hopeful to know that people seem to naturally resist participating in poorly designed institutions even if they don't share my bigger picture view of them.
Yes, I wonder too why is is necessary, especially because my PC is completely fan-less :-/

However, over the day is is barely audible and it only comes to my mind when I am sitting in front of the PC late at night (+ without headphones).
Right now they're talking about better lighting and camera angles. Will they still be interested in six months? In a year? There's a lot of uncertainty for any prospective manufacturer, they could spend a significant amount of money and time developing a product only to launch it into a world that never wants to do another zoom meeting again.
Hi HN!

We've made a super simple free tool that lets you "screenshot" and "record" any webpage but as pure HTML/CSS/JS. What you see here aren't regular mp4 screen recordings, but are DOM recordings where we record the entire DOM as it changes.

Here's a Capsule video I just made of me using HN: https://capsule.click/playback/1608649966705
(hint: try using your mouse in the demos)

All of the core code is written from scratch using basic JS functionality and browser APIs like MutationObserver among others.
When you view the recording at a Capsule link, we replay all the recorded changes one-by-one right in your browser. So although it looks like it's a regular mp4-type video due to the screen moving and such, it's actually a webpage that /looks/ like a video.

You can use your mouse, click, and scroll in the recordings. Note that all javascript is disabled automatically to ensure security. (And because we don't want a recording or an action you make in a recording to continue to make network calls / update data in a prod database in the original application).

(Note there are still bugs on some sites since there's a whole bunch of weird things people do on the internet given how large the HTML spec is!)

I like to think of what we're doing as providing "DOM recording for the masses". People have really only used DOM recording for user tracking / analytics (e.g. fullstory). But we wanted to make this same technology available for regular consumers to use.

I think this would be useful to you if:

- You're a developer and want to share the webpages you make with others. My favorite part about Capsule is that it works on localhost! So you can actually instantly "deploy" a site that you're working on locally and share it with a teammate to get instant feedback on it without needing to push it to a staging environment. It's just 1 click with the chrome extension.

- You work on a frontend dev or design team at a company and want to show your teammates (engineers or designers) new features you've made in a better way than a regular image screenshot. Just send a Capsule link or attach it in a commit/PR.

- You do web testing / QA, and you want to have better bug reporting. In Capsule recordings, you have access to the direct HTML/CSS of the webpage so you have all the info you need to reproduce bugs your users face!

--

Let us know what you use Capsule for! It's totally free to use and we hope you find it useful.

P.S. Remember to sign up for our mailing list to hear about the crazy features we release next! https://capsule.click/#email-form

Worse than that, actually—720p is 1280×720, but this gets you 1024×576. (I have an α6100.)
The easy reasoning, is that on the field of battle, there are no do-overs

* You don't know the math and people die

* You cheat and you create an international incident. You either go to jail or people die because of the decisions you make.
most MOND theories do include some sort of dark matter, there is just less of it and it could possibly be less exotic (think brown dwarfs and such)

That's disingenuous. Federal spending isn't spent on persons, it's spent on infrastructure. If the city decides to renew or clean the sewer pipes running under my street, how many dimes have I accepted, personally?
I'm no expert, but there do seem to be cameras in this space. The Logitech Brio and Aluratek Live Pro 4K in the $200 range, for example. The article doesn't "name names", so I can't tell if these are the models the author didn't like.
Idk, between this and bombing children in the Middle East, I feel like there are larger problems to address. Also US military is not the largest military in the world.

When we look at the behavior of the Commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces to set an example and our students and military follow that example, we cannot be surprised.
Stories like this make me wonder if there's a form of pre-business counseling much like premarital counseling where you discuss with your cofounder expectations going into the business and talk about worst-case scenarios like this and how each party would handle it at the time of the counseling (considering people change over time).
When I've had to work with barcodes I found it easy enough to generate an image rather than using a font. Font mapping for things that aren't characters, like stop codes, is always a tricky business.
Fascinating that this kind of cheating happened in 1976 [1] at which point it was only the second most serious cheating incident. The first being from 1951 when 90 of 100 students were expelled or resigned.

I think this works if fourtydegrees has some bucks in the bank.

Reading between the lines, I suspect fourtydegrees is young and doesn't have the kind of money to do this.

(I also suspect that lawyers may be out of fourtydegrees' budget.)

Please read more closely.
Not experienced in this by any means at all, but I still am interested in what are the legal, social, and professional responsibilities here.

Legally, you are entitled even though the market is no longer the same as which you were brought to help in. Professionally you have put in lots of un-tallied TLC. Socially, there seems to be no effort for an amicable resolution.

On the business side it doesn’t make much sense for you to continue with the company if this is not your area of expertise. So you should taper off the position of founder and become a silent investor. Do not budge on percentage. It is your right.

If the other person does not accept this, then the option is to dissolve the company. Keep all assets as is. And license to new entity for royalty or one time debt.

If you want to continue with the company, negotiate a position that is optimized for what you can do. And remain shareholder. And board member.

Either way, assess the true value of the company in terms of current potential revenue, future growth, and future risks. Use that as as premise for negotiation. And set aside a BATNA. A best alternative to negotiated agreement.

Don’t focus on the torch and burn scenario even if the other person insists is a possible outcome.

(All this comes from someone who doesn’t know a single thing about this other than how businesses merge, split, and dissolve.)
$250 is deep into mirrorless camera territory though.
Always err on the side of freedom and individual liberty, always.
I worked as a freelance DOP and worked with cameras + lenses that coat more than a decent car.

And while there is certainly room for improvement with typical webcams: the problem is in many cases not the camera, but the conditions under which it operates. Low light, shooting against the light, smeared laptop lenses, weird angles (not eye level), weird perspective framing, bad combination of light and framerates, mixed light temperatures, low CRI lighting, etc. If you take an 40k€ Arri and a 20k€ Zeiss Prime and do all of the above the result will still look more or less crappy.

Making a good looking image that feels natural is work, and while the camera is an important cog in the machine, it alone won't do wonders. The whole physical space around the motive needs to be arranged the right way, light fixtures that can cost a ton as well are set up, a whole truckload of grip is placed etc.

IMO we will get photorealistic realtime avatars with cinematic lighting before we will get cameras that create better pictures on their own. Or the crappy webcam pictures are filtered in ways that make them look acceptable etc.

Making a good picture involves realising how somebody looks and how they want to be seen and get them closer to that goal, it is not something where one size fits all.
Tbh I’m not sure I care they “can’t” pass calculus (maybe they could with in person instruction?). But cheat and lie, yea that’s non-negotiable.
Even just looking at that map it's not clear why they didn't just connect Strendur to Rókin instead, perhaps with a bridge. I guess there's a geographical or geological explanation, but I'm curious precisely what that is.
Seriously? Upon enrolling, they swore to uphold the honor code. They failed to do that. How can they be trusted in their duties as officers in the Army, where they also swear oaths about the protection and defense of the US, when they've shown a inability to maintain oaths.
