If you only shoot with one camera (or your stable of cameras are all the same brand), you can get a single-platform version of Capture One for $130. Capture One is only super expensive if you need RAW interpreters for multiple camera brands.

Really? By who? I haven't seen that from anyone in the brexit camp or government.

Either way, once that deal is signed, the effort was wasted and we'll finally actually be in the crazy dumb position brexiteers thought we were in.
How to be productive – 15 secrets from a master procrastinator
GBP has gone from ~0.7 Euros to ~0.9 Euros since 2016. So if you sell your house and move abroad, you probably will find it's value has fallen significantly.
It's about production lines, the cost to manufacture the same thing to different standards is more costly (generally) than just producing one thing to the highest standard and selling it to both markets.
Is this supposed to be some kind of joke? Undercutting by other European nations? The GDP per capita of the EU (37k€) is barely below the GDP per capita of the UK ($44k). Even the typical "boogeyman" countries like Poland have a GDP per capita of $33k. The UK also has a massive "geographic advantage" when it comes to avoiding refugees. The vast majority of refugees do not arrive in the UK first which means the UK can often send them back to Italy or Greece. Seriously, this is just a textbook example of places with little immigration having more xenophobia simply because of lack of experience. People are scared of the unknown and that's all there is.

If I was worried about economic undercutting I would be worried about China and other Asian countries because they not only have the advantage in numbers, China is nowadays the go to place for manufacturing even for high quality products. The key aspect is that the quality control is managed by first world economies. For some reason the Chinese are really terrible at creating medium/premium quality brands.
... and that's just one policy area. The truth is that the UK has many policy differences with mainland Europe - foreign policy, energy policy, immigration, etc...

Unity is always a good thing, but hwhen views diverge then inaction results. An EU without the UK will let both take more decisive action in their policy areas.
The Guardian has gone from being a left wing newspaper critical of Conservative governments in general to something rather shriller that I will no longer subscribe to.

And the alternative "heavies" are as bad or worse. Something rather horrible has happened to British newspapers.
Getting a job at Google and expecting academic freedom is certainly a pipe dream.
Yes! And if that dogs keeps being aggressive and attacking and killing innocent pets around the house for several months and then goes and attacks a child or an elderly, you should be held 100% accountable.

Pets are like your children, you're responsible for keeping an eye on them always and to be accountable for what harm they cause to others, unless its truly a one-off case, which it almost never is in all the horrifying cases of dog to human attacks.
Is the hype working? (Sales.)
Because the new country joining has a land border with the UK which wont be legislated for whatsoever in the brexit trade deal.
Bitcoin isnt money, you cant pay for almost any house with bitcoin. Deflation also isnt good because that will cause debts to rise relative to wages. If houses cease to be a source of wealth that will mean ruin for million. What does storing wealth in your head even mean?

If this is how low your understanding of economics are then i understand why you are a libertarian
You’re statement about us not learning anything about Go from AI agents is just false. Also we have seen a rapid improvement in the accuracy/speed curve, most notably with NAS. It hasn’t just been increased computational power.

AFAIK the use of learned embedding in the biomedical space has improved our understanding of the science/our ability to find high value experiments to run.

I think the coherency of GPT-3 and the RL learned tool use work both raise extremely interesting questions about the nature of language and high-level intelligence. Questions that we couldn’t meaningfully ask before that evidence.

I also think you’re being shortsighted about the possibilities that are opened up as we enable computers to understand and interact with the real world in more way. Increased visual and audio understanding will lead to more passive computing and that has all sorts of fascinating implications.

I don’t know what insights you’re looking for. We’re seeing AI reveal fascinating phenomena in language, vision and general purpose learning. Scientific advancement is often about asking the right questions and unexplainable phenomena is the driver of those questions. Much like some phenomena (I want to say something to do spectral) were unanswered questions that developed into the field of quantum mechanics, what we’re seeing in AI is currently unexplainable phenomena.

Are you in the field? You’ve focused on the things that made global headlines, but I feel like there’s so much more.
I've volunteered fairly regularly on one of the member hotlines, and have personally attempted suicide.

Out of 1000 calls I had one person attempt, maybe 10 people decide not to attempt, and the rest were just people who were anxious or sad or scared and were having thoughts.

There's a very broad spectrum, and for someone who is hopeless or just lonely and sad, talking to a caring human who listens and is comfortable with your pain does help, yes.

For people in a crisis, having someone calm who can talk through what's happening without panicking helps, yes.

I'm curious where you're coming from on this, as I don't understand the perspective behind your comment.

We had a veto, rarely used, if we didn't like anything. We were very poor in effectively making use of the powers we had within the EU. Of course, now we have none of them, so the EU can do what it likes without worrying about us or our pesky veto now.
The app seems really amazing so far after trying it out on my iPhone. Everything that I have tried so far works like a charm, ez searching, indentation, nice styling, intuitive controls.

But the one thing that is missing for me to use it, is a web app. It doesn't need to be as flashy as the native apps, or it does not need feature parity. But I don't like the idea that all my notes are trapped inside my Apple devices, and that I have no way to even look through them when I am on my pc.
Doesn't seem very productive to speak on behalf of two folks who you clearly don't have the authority to speak on behalf of. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Alex Johnson uses his "Boris" persona as part of an act. It's a calculating and deliberate effort, not to separate his personal life from politics - which would be reasonable - but to create a more attractive persona to present to the electorate. It's one which is quite different from his real persona. I don't think it's at all unreasonable to resist that effort.

No idea what Harry Houdini has to do with this. I don't recall him standing for election as Harry Houdini.

I think parent means for goods sold in the EU - and they correctly point out that we have lost direct influence over the regulations in a collosal trading block. (The effort was to ensure that we didn't have to follow the eu regs in the UK market too).
In somewhat similar shoes. I would love to chat 1:1 if your DM is open.

There is a right to ask permission for emergency authorisation in the EU. It was not given, and still probably wouldn't have been given if the UK hadn't rolled out the vaccine.
I think the "not a bad deal, just a different set of terms" is key. This isn't or shouldn't be about trying to get one over on the other side, the UK and the EU are not in a zero sum game, clearly levels of trade integration require harmonization of regulation, some countries are going to be happy with that in particular areas, some aren't, and to decline to integrate has economic consequences within that local context. And similarly just because the UK doesn't want to be part of the EU political union, that's not some calculated insult, it's just something we aren't happy to do. Not every partner of the EU needs to be part of the EU.
Unless they're testing reactions, rather than the vehicle.
Thats good idea! I'd want to test for overflow, so I can limit the values, that way I dont break peoples games haha.

Hospital reports on dog fatalities and violent attacks are not "supporting science"? What do you consider constitutes supporting science then?!?
It’s not malicious, I’m saying it’s patronizing and hollow
It hasn't been common in the program committees I've served on, and I think that's mainly a function of people generally knowing what the expectations are. I've had my own papers get review comments like "good work, but we need you to include justification for why your approach isn't illegal under the CFAA." Authors (myself included) are generally very receptive to that kind of feedback because it helps keep us out of trouble down the road.

Here's an example of a disclaimer that shows the authors were acting in good faith (not mine):

>As performing a security analysis against a running election server would raise a number of unacceptable legal and ethical concerns, we instead chose to perform all of our analyses in a "cleanroom" environment, connecting only to our own servers. Special care was taken to ensure that our static and dynamic analysis techniques could never interfere with Voatz or any related services, and we went through great effort so that nothing was intentionally transmitted to Voatz’s servers.

Their business models are nearly identical and the different responses to them are interesting in themselves, perhaps suggesting it's not really about the cost or even the tools specifically.

Not even close to Bill Russell.
"I've been a PS user since if first came out, and was befuddled as to why they changed some keyboard shortcuts. I tried the new version this year and thought something was wrong with my PC or my keyboard. All of the shortcuts are second nature to me, and changing them after all these years for no good reason is a baffling decision."

OMG. What? Why?
It's a big piece of software from Adobe, of course it is.
AI: A Clarification of Misconceptions, Myths and Desired Status
While I'm not a fan of Adobe, people need to realize that the software industry changed a lot in the last decade. In the past one could write software for an OS such as Windows or Classic Mac and have it working for decades. Nowadays, any software developer will tell you how difficult it is to maintain software even across single digit changes. Companies like Apple, Google, and even MS have forced developers to toil on rewrites year after year to support the new operating systems they release. In the web this is even worse. So I think that the old model of buying software and expecting that it will work for a long time is dead, killed by the process used by big companies. What is left is either well-maintained open source or subscription-based commercial software.
So? The EU had other land borders with non EU countries. There are 25 road crossings between England and Scotland compared to 300 between NI and ROI and no GFA to sustain.
Also, searching for 'Craft' on the iOS app store just gets you endless pages of Minecraft-related apps.
This deal will only bring a short term truce in the Conservative party. As the economic reality of Covid starts to bite, certain fractions in the party wil urge for a more generous deal with the EU, especially as a quick trade deal with the USA no longer seems to be on the table. Boris is not likely going to last until the next GE, either by choice or because he will be forced out.

When the Tories will finally be relegated to the opposition benches, it is very likely the party will tear itself apart about this too. There is a pro business section in the Tories that do not like where the party is headed, but are so far powerless to anything about it.

It's unfair to criticize Lightroom for using a slow sorting algorithm?

lol wat
This is true. I primarily write research code as well as some code that goes to prod.

I love writing Python for exactly the reason you've mentioned. If something that needs to be re-written in a "proper" language, we've guys that can write that thing in them quickly and I don't need to worry about them that much. Did I mention those guys usually gets paid half as much as I do? As long as things work man.
I still use Picasa on my Macs. Works fine in High Sierra and works in Mojave after I click five times on a message saying that it doesn't work.
Same kind of experience here in France. I could only find 7 numbers, 2 of which for women only and 1 for teens. So I tried the 4 others and met answering machines such as (textually) “We are open Tuesday 5pm-9pm”. Needless to say, I wish they’d be at least open midnight-to-1am, that would be more useful, it was my peak symptom time.

Even more seriously, it is really hard to call someone when depressed, let alone nag them until they answer. Because you don’t feel useful. Nor important to this world. So “why would you pull public resources” was the logic.

I don’t remember how I spent the night, but I’m still here. I have the opposite attitude now 2 years later, I’ll take revenge by staying here and consuming public resources. It’s barely more sane, but it keeps me alive.

Perhaps I’m missing something, but how does a list of 72 laws the EU forced on the UK refute the “myth” that the EU forced laws on the UK?
Yes. But often "multiple" means tens of images and "moved around" does not include video compression where features are moved between frames.

Sorry that you saw segfaults when running Rapid Photo Downloader under Manjaro. I am the developer of Rapid Photo Downloader.

One thing to keep in mind is that Manjaro, similar to Fedora, is bleeding edge. Things break sometimes when running Manjaro or Fedora. That's the nature of a cutting edge distro.

The good news is that things that break are often quickly fixed.
No idea as this is the first time I even heard of this.

But a gas turbine (a jet engine, basically) is efficient, kerosene is very energetic, and for a hoverboard I imagine the hot & compressed exhaust itself is what’s mechanically useful.

There’s no reason to have a line other than as a tether, though that comes with its own risks.
Agreed. I’ve tried to leave LR, but nothing comes close to matching all the features (including things like DAM) across all platforms.

No, this is not a simple "thoughts and prayers" thing. This is a national helpline that saves lives.

I have family members that have been Samaritans (UK helpline) that have helped people. It's a bit like fight club and the first rule is ...

Actually it is rather more important than fight club: I know that Sammies never, ever discuss anything they are told in confidence - that is a point of honour and practice.
People got excited about the m1 machines Apple released, but remember, those machines are tied to some of the worst tested and often regressing piece of software out there—Apple operating systems. Had they released these machines ten years ago, things would have looked very different. But knowing that macOS—Big Sur in particular—is the only supported OS in these machines just kills any curiosity I have, let alone excitement. And my career is basically in the Apple software ecosystem in the last 10 years.

What I don’t understand is how shilling and fanboyish the Apple developer community is with regards to such bugs. Apple can do no wrong. “All software JS bugs.” “Privacy matter the most, the hell with basic computer functionality.” And so on. It boggles the mind. The amount of people that seem to have tied their personal identity to the Apple brand is very large, almost cult-like.

Get that, but means companies can operate different 'arms' for different operations. Products can be totally different, they don't have to be 'variants' of the same item.
We just started a plant-based cheese business in Germany. We can sell and ship within the EU as if it were one big country. It doesn't really matter if a customer is in Berlin or Barcelona.

Of course, selling to the UK (and Switzerland) is a pain in the ass and therefore we don't ship to those countries.

Just an anecdote of how disunity within Europe affects small businesses and customers.
In the article and this thread: a bunch of people who have never spent serious sums on Facebook trashing FBs targeting.

I have spent large amounts of money targeting niche audiences on Facebook. The targeting is unparalelled by anything else on the web.
The Turing scheme is only for UK students, and, given the Tories track record, will be underfunded.
You're completely right about this being elitist.

I, in common with most people who do maths, consider 0 to be even, but I also remember that maths is just a mental game we play, where we give all kinds of entirely abstract, unusual meanings to a variety of terms in order to get something useful out of them. It's like saying that there are infinities bigger than other infinities (because we define bigger to mean 'not able to be put into a correspondence'), or that the sum of natural numbers is -1/12 or when we say that x^0 is 1 because that makes all kinds of things work so much better. All this terminology is useful, but the way the article talks make it sound as if it is ordained by a higher power that it must be this way rather than simply contingent on what we find most useful.

To complain that someone is stupid because they're using less useful or standard terminology is unfair, especially if they're not playing the same game you're playing - dividing cookies evenly is a totally different game to maths, and it's reasonable to have different definitions.

As someone who has occasionally been able to make strong arguments that the 'wrong' answer on a multiple choice question is more correct than the 'right' answer, there's also something pretty elitist about giving people so little room to explain themselves. You can tell almost nothing about a person by whether they fit into one of four boxes you've chosen for them.

So it creates a lot of admin work for the EU and disruption to their business as usual.

No need to be so hostile, just making the point.
My dad said a big advantage of the hjkl navigation keys in vi were that they were single character. The arrow keys were multi character, so if the escape character got dropped, you would end up sending control codes as plain text
The point is the EEC worked very well, there was no need for further integration, such as the Lisbon treaty, which mainly benefits Germany when it comes to power.

What people don't get here ironically is that every bureaucracy's purpose is to get bigger and gain more power at the expense of the people they rule over. Nobody learned anything from the USSR fiasco. These kind of supra national governments never work on the long run. Europeans are too different.

In France, already governed by a fairly conservative and authoritarian government, the far right is at the doorstep of power and banking on the relatively successful brexit.
> But are you OK with you not making money?

Yes, if those incomes are via conning people or inciting hatred. I worked in internet advertising and got out once I could -- that's about as far to the dark side as I've gone.

> Are you OK with subreddits you visit being banned?
I'm actually banned in /r/politics for stating that if Stephen Miller died I wouldn't be sad because at least he'd be out of power. Am I ok with that? I think it's a bit extreme but I'm a guest there and so be it.

I'd be bothered by losing any of my subreddits (or FSM help us, HN!), but then again my intake is content isn't based up on hate speech.

> Are you OK with websites you visit being deplatformed?
Losing stuff you like is a bummer but c'est la guerre. I miss Kuro5hin.

You worry about the State censoring things but every single example you give is a for-profit enterprises adjusting to market pressures. Do you hate capitalism or what?

> Do you think that you should have more rights than those 45% who believe in ghosts, or what?

WTF? I never implied anything like that -- I implied that there's a lot of stupid people out there. Do I have the right to do that?

You also conveniently ignore the dangers of hate speech and frame this all as "people don't get to say nice things about T. because those mean libtards won't let them".

Are you familiar with the concept of stochastic terrorism? One simple example: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/22/533941689...

Are you aware that in America, decades of right-wing hate speech has conditioned half of the country to hate the other half, to the point where "I'd rather be Russian than a Democrat" -- https://www.amazon.com/Rather-Russian-Than-Democrat-T-shirt/....

Because I believe in "free speech" I'm not comfortable with having the government come in and shut them down. FFS, I understand that can go both ways. But it's nuanced and simplifying it the way you have borders on disingenuous.

As for not giving money to the companies that pay for that hate to be spread (and encouraging others to do the same -- free speech too, buddy), yes, I'm absolutely fine with that. Why don't you explain to me how that's government censorship. And while you're at it, why don't you explain to me how you think hate speech is good for society?
People used to go to the arcade parlour to play coin-op games. In one perspective, that was also games-as-a-service.
There is at least temporarily equivalence until July. This was agreed before this deal was announced.

We have no idea really how it will play out, depends hugely on how the UK govt acts in the next few years.

As much as I agree with you, they best stick to what they do best and keep making it great... Not spreading themselves thin in industries they might not know it all.
