I think what parent is saying is that camera-captured interlaced video was displaying scanlines from different images in each field, whereas game consoles using interlacing displayed the even/odd lines of the same image in two fields.

Thus parent's argument is that we can consider camera-captured interlaced video to be 60 (or 50 for PAL) fps despite being interlaced, but games using interlacing were 30 fps. It makes sense to me.
Is Panasonic building replacements for gas fired power plants?
There’s a company called PlanetLabs (or just Planet) which aspires to this.
OK, but the person you were responding to was asking if this also meant that the upside was unlimited - so in your example the answer is 'yes', if you bought in at $300 the stock price can just keep going up without bound. Can you clarify why these are different?
What is snakeoil about wooden knobs?
Sure, they have an inverse relationship, but the implications are really different.
It is an imaginary scenario. But so is the scenario where they can always apply the brakes and come to a stop.

What if there is a cement truck tailgaiting and they can't hard brake? What if there are jersey barriers constraining the maneuverability? Either of those would risk the passenger more than running into pedestrians.

Performing failure-mode-effects-analysis on software is largely an exercise in creating imaginary scenarios and then effectively mitigating the risks to within an acceptable level. I agree, in most real-world scenarios the tough problems can be mitigated largely by "slow down and re-assess". But that's not what safety-critical software risk mitigation is always about. You have to mitigate low-probability events as well, especially in a domain with governmental regulation. According to the NTSB report, the Uber accident that killed a pedestrian applied the "slow down and re-assess" scenario that attributed to the death. The software was misclassifying enough that an artificial delay was put in to avoid (I assume) nuisance braking. So in the real-world, they didn't want to always apply the "just brake if in trouble" strategy because of trade-offs to the passengers and it didn't work out well.
I'll add to this: of every website I use which recommends me things based on other things, Reddit does it the absolute worst. It's so bad that they have literally never recommended me a subreddit which was actually relevant to my interests.

My favourite instance was when they assumed I liked "programming", based on having (accidentally, once) visited the /r/f5networks subreddit, so they suggested the Europa Universalis 4 modding subreddit.

Lately, they've given up and are just recommending me "gaming" related subreddits, by which I mean literally any random subreddit that it thinks is related to "gaming", including subreddits for people who main a specific fighter in Super Smash Brothers or subreddits for random indie iOS TCG games.

The only "recommendations" that seem remotely reasonable are basically trending posts, and that's just because them trending indicates a broad appeal for that specific post.

Meanwhile, their mobile app is wildly unreliable; if I'm having any sort of network issues while I start it, it will fail to load any of my feeds, and then just refuse to try to load them until I kill the app again. Refreshing my feed will typically result in a new feed with new posts, about half of which have no text in them and just a giant blank space where the title and description should be.

Reddit is a colossal nightmare, engineering-wise, and I wouldn't listen to a word they said about implementing technology.

The modern approach to textures is to precompile them, so you can hand the data straight over. It's not as common to have to convert a linear to swizzled texture, though it can happen.

Also, the Apple advice for OpenGL textures was always focused on avoiding unnecessary copies. (for instance, there's another one that could happen CPU side if your data wasn't aligned enough to get DMA'd)

One reason M1 textures use less memory is the prior systems had AMD/Intel graphic switching and so you needed to keep another copy of everything in case you switched GPUs.

I used to browse /r/india . Then one day Reddit recommended I check out /r/chodi (a sub full of memes and random talk). So I said sure, visited it, commented a couple of times.

And there's no appealing these bans.

I wrote a group of WebAuthn libraries in TypeScript that aims to make it as easy as possible for devs to incorporate WebAuthn into their server: https://simplewebauthn.dev/

The pair of server and browser libraries (with a third TypeScript types library) supports IE10+ and get WebAuthn down to four method calls with a small handful of arguments. And since the libraries take care of JSON serialization devs don't need to think about how to get random buffers from the server to the browser and back.

If this means anything to you the server library is FIDO-conformant. It's not FIDO certified but it's pretty darn close, and will handle just about every WebAuthn use case you can think of. There are still things the server has to do to properly incorporate WebAuthn support, but the work I've done significantly reduces most of the common stuff to a couple of libraries you can `npm install` and go.
You can't "just" do it, but it is possible as shown by Intel Rocket Lake.

Dynamic range in audio matters only if you actually have some. It's absolutely possible to have 16/24 or more bits of dynamic range available but have the music be pushed so hot as to not use more than a few actual bits. The test you linked is just an example of such music. Regardless, it's easily discernible, as the loudness is not matched between the test samples. I don't even need to listen more than 0.5s to get to 99.95% confidence.

My memory says that US government GPS at one point intentionally introduced reduction in accuracy/resolution as well, but they stopped, which was part of what led to the commercial GPS revolution (along with cheaper tech of course).

For more than a decade, the web security field was plagued by vulnerable UX that would, in a bunch of different ways, shift users off HTTPS sites and on to HTTP sites. It was a real problem, only recently and gradually mitigated by HSTS.

Two distinctions to draw between the HSTS situation and the encrypted email situation:

1. There is no proposed "HSTS" for email, let alone any coherent plan by which it could be rolled out; HSTS worked because a very small number of browsers needed only collaborate with a relatively small number of server operators to make it work; the dynamics of email are totally different.

2. In the web threat model, the consequences of shifting a user from HTTPS to HTTP are not automatically fatal, and affect only that user. In the Inevitable Encrypted Reply, whole threads involving multiple counterparties are disclosed. And in the PGP threat model, you have to assume the adversary is recording everything, all the time. Once the I.E.R. happens, you and all your friends are dead.
This is a global pandemic, and like 95% of humans, I’m not American.

America — despite the economic and cultural hegemony and media coverage — is not actually that significant one way or the other in this particular event.
The next generation of LEO ground imaging satellites will be significantly larger than Starlink units.

Now, with the resolution relaxation from the United States Government that went into effect on February 21, 2015, you have access to an even clearer view of the ground with 30-centimeter resolution commercial satellite imagery.

>Even if it was a lab release, it's still a natural virus and could have happened without the lab release.

That is not the assertion being made by the scientists pushing for the investigation. The assertion is that this is a chimeric virus that very much does NOT show up in nature and its lab-made qualities are precisely why it became a global pandemic.

Or would you take it as pure coincidence that the first truly global pandemic in however many decades you'd like just happened to be lab made?
I've found that the maps match the GPS of my phone exactly, but the satellite pictures are shifted.

In this case DJI specifically licensed the VIX data to Credit Suisse for the purpose of offering and listing a security - XIV. You’re right that there were (and are) other securities that track VIX or use VIX as a component calculation but what’s interesting here is the SEC’s focus on XIV specifically. It seems the language of the data license agreement (quoted and summarized in paragraph 19 of the SEC’s Order[1]) played a role in the SEC’s decision to go after S&P Dow Jones for the bad data.

It's best to tackle this answer in stages:

1. There are separate categories of "to go" in Russian and other Slavic languages for walking on foot, strolling, climbing, running, crawling, flying, going by vehicle, swimming and probably a few more I'm forgetting. The method of locomotion is baked into the verb. You can read some examples here if the nerdery interests you: http://www.russianlessons.net/grammar/verbs_motion.php

2. Each of these verbs comes in a pair. One is unidirectional, the other is multidirectional. The difference in usage is more subtle than these names suggest, but that's the general idea.

3. You have a ton of prefixes you can stick onto these verbs to indicate action into, through, around, to-and-back, and so on.

4. There's other verbs you use if you carried or conveyed something somewhere. Points 2 and 3 apply to them, too.

5. These verbs also have aspect, but you've suffered enough.

So the choice of verb of motion in a sentence like "I took something there" encodes a lot of meaning, and is as intuitive to native speakers as the proper usage of "the" and "a" is to English speakers—you know exactly how to use it correctly, but good luck trying to articulate the rules to yourself or to people learning the language if you haven't gotten special training.

How did I blame the Palestinian people? The fact is that they do not have a functioning government, and the government they have is not in a position to negotiate on their behalf when it comes to Gaza. The faction that controls Gaza is not even recognized as legitimate by the PA (which is supposed to represent the Palestinian people).

If people had continued to develop Zeppelins, the problems with safely handling hydrogen would have been solved, just like the problems with handling aviation gas and jet fuel have been solved. There's a lot of consideration with airliners about dealing with lightning strikes and all sorts of possible sources of sparks so the fuel is not ignited.

This is also predicated on the idea that every part of Tesla's operations are substantially better than existing automakers.

Do people really believe that Tesla is literally run 10x better than Toyota, Volkswagen, Daimler, BMW or Honda? I don't think so.

Then there's the nightmare of trying to appeal to two wildly different consumer groups.

At the low end: does Tesla have a meaningful reliability advantage versus Honda and Toyota? From what I have seen, it appears not. This matters less when you're dealing with premium buyers, but will not work with the mass market. Fans will put up with hassle (I own an AMG... I'm more than aware of the extra expense I am constantly paying for - and that's a trade-off I'm happy to make in return for a powerful v8).

Secondly from a clout point of view: why would anyone buy a Tesla over a comparatively priced Audi, Porsche, Mercedes or BMW. The people who talk about their Model 3 with a burning passion aren't trading in a 911, or an E Class or a Q7. They're excited to upgrade from a 2015 Camry. Massive expectation gap.

Plus, all of these companies are valued far more realistically. Tesla being worth more than every other automaker or whatever gives them very little room to breathe. If Tesla is ever valued as the hardware manufacturer with relatively low margins (when compared to say a tech stock like Facebook or Salesforce).. is the day that we will see an enormous valuation haircut.

Just a little nitpicking note: the spelling of disc versus disk. Per dictionary definition, it's two spellings of the same word. Per convention, "disk" is usually used with magnetic media (like floppies) while "disc" is usually used with optical media (CDs/DVDs/Blu-ray).

It took me as just a little odd to see "floppy disc" even if it's technically correct.

Anecdatum: I have worked for 30 years at various jobs. Only two of those years was I working a night shift. I have been involved in one car crash that resulted in vehicle damage; it was when I was working night shift.

> Do you think that post disengagement Gazans live under "apartheid"?

Yes bantustans were an important part of apartheid, and Gaza is a bantustan on steroids. Both South Africa and Israel disclaimed responsibility for their respective bantustans, but at least South Africa at least formally granted them independence and (unsuccessfully, to be sure) tried to get them international recognition and engagement.

Israel, while disclaiming responsibility, also takes active diplomatic steps to deny Palestinian territories recognition as independent and actively seeks to thwart any international engagement with them.
