I think essentially that's what this boils down to. Color slide film of the time, like Kodachrome, had a narrow range of exposure. I see no reason to believe this was anything but a technical limitation. A slide film with more stops of exposure would have been a huge commercial success.

Given that narrow range, you could either expose for lighter or darker skin tones. And this is where institutional racism creeps in. In a group where everyone had similar skin tones, you wouldn't face an issue exposing the film properly. But where there was a variety, it was commonplace to treat exposing for the lighter skin tones as more important. The group with darker skin was treated as if it didn't matter, or mattered far less.

I think this is the key idea. Even rejecting the idea that Kodak and other film companies made the choice to exclude a group of people, they created a default, an inertia, which had to worked against to be equitable. My mind keeps coming back to the Pareto principle. In pursuing the 80% of customers might be the wealthier group, the easier to convert, the most likely to use your product, is it often the same %20 who are left out and don't they matter?
“The motives, standards, and behaviors found in communities of professionals may provide some ideas about how a system of cooperation might work within an enterprise of free people. It already exists to some extent when people from different companies work together in industry and professional associations for everyone's benefit.

Michael Polanyi wrote [in “Meaning”] that a free society works best when individuals can choose to cooperate with other individuals to pursue ends that all deem worthy. This is especially evident in the behavior of professionals such as scientists, judges, clergy, artists, writers, journalists, philosophers, historians, and economists. They associate with others in their field to achieve personal aims, yet each is part of the same whole because everyone accepts the same professional and ethical standards and recognizes the same precedents and traditions.

There is no central control, yet a spontaneous ordered whole emerges from the continual interaction of people. There is a system of control; it is one of mutual adjustments and mutual authority. Science, for example, has made tremendous progress operating in this manner. Scientists influence each other through their sharing of information and facts. One's authority comes from the respect one is given by colleagues for his or her knowledge. Scientists tend to work with others in closely related fields, but science as a whole is a system of overlapping neighborhoods.”

Dr. Edward Martin Baker in "Scoring a Whole in One"
You're confusing cost with billing structure.

When you go with net metering you still pay a bit, but PG&E sources power at around 10 cents per kwh. The rest of the bill people receive is for infrastructure - around 2/3rds of their bill. They do this to incentivize people to use less electricity.

California's net metering is not sustainable for forever, and you are not paying for the infrastructure you're using. Which I don't have a problem with, it's just something that can't continue forever.
If you are going to school to get a job then no, not worth it, and all the “average graduate job placement and salary” statistics are not nuanced enough or telling you anything important.

If you are going to school to network with the elite, adopt their culture, and maybe parlay that into financial opportunity by mere proximity, Harvard is still one of the best bets for the last 500 (edit: ROUNDUP (385, -2)) years. They will weather this recent half-century where people associate higher education with working for other people out of necessity (and therefore consider university caste system to be the primary problem as opposed to the entire private sector).

If the author’s around, one thing I’d like to ask is why the entire thing appears to be in C except for the small parts that apparently had to call into Objective-C. Some sort of personal challenge?

It does require quite a bit of processing, that's true, especially on camera phones.

iPhones and Pixels have gotten a lot better at optimizing images for multiple ethnicities, but not everyone has the same processing accumen.

On the standalone camera, shoot RAW if you can. If you're shooting jpeg, you're beholden to the cameras signal processing which can still be quite biased to certain tones. It'll require you to process the image yourself, but you'll have access to a lot more range than the jpeg output.
I carry a set of wireless earbuds in my pockets 90% of the time. They still haven't replaced wired headphones for me, for two reasons: 1. Lag-free audio. Even if I didn't play videogames and need instant audio response, Windows makes no attempt whatsoever to compensate for audio lag. Android does a decent job when it comes to Youtube, but embedded videos on the web are still wildly out of sync. 2. Comfort. I've spent hundreds of dollars on various TWS earbuds and not a single one of them is comfortable when I'm laying on my side in bed. My wired buds are entirely comfortable that way. Oh and it's also quite annoying that you have to choose between wireless buds with physical buttons that hurt to push or ones with capacitive buttons that are liable to get triggered to start playing again after you take them out and put them in your pocket.

The idea a 3.5mm jack takes up a huge amount of space in a phone is so much bullshit.

Oh no, there are an incredible number of econ deniers everywhere these days. Every time an apartment building is proposed for a parking lot in California for example, they come out of the woodwork.
There’s no such easy indicator.
Demand for Manhattan apartments is crazy high, it's just illegal for taller ones to be built to meet demand most of the time.

People think Manhattan is mostly skyscrapers, but the reality is very different. Only a small portion of the land has high rises on it, just glance at Google Maps with 3D view on.
I'm always amazed that more people aren't bothered by having to constantly charge wireless headphones. Wired ones never run out of battery.
Capturing bigger differences between highlights and shadows (i.e. dynamic range) is one of the primary goals of camera manufacturers. It's one of the most critical aspects of camera performance, and they're competing to deliver better dynamic range.

We're stuck with it because it's a hard problem.
What kills me about wireless is when I need to switch sources. E.g. from my work laptop to my phone and vice versa. Or from my work laptop to my personal laptop.

Perhaps Airpods do a better job here, but my experience with Bose and Sony wireless headphones has been terrible on switching sources... I have to manually unpair from device A and repair with device B. In the case of Bose this handoff is mediated by an iOS app that seems to crap out 50% of the time. It often takes several minutes to get everything working as it should. This does not feel like a $350 UX.

It makes me rage when I think of the ease and speed I had in the past with wired headphones that can be instantly unplugged from A and plugged into B quickly with 100% reliability.
Specifically, Bose QCs can't be charged and used at the same time. If they're charging, then they're off, essentially.

FBI raid on Project Veritas founder’s home sparks questions about press freedom

> Can only speak for my city (Seattle), but no one’s building Camrys and building is constant

I'm in the Seattle metro. Building higher density housing is still illegal in most of the city, because attitudes there are still fundamentally NIMBY, even if it's not as bad as SF.

The city has generally upzoned little slices at a time around 'urban villages', and while that's certainly better than nothing, it's a lot less effective than largest scale upzones, and streamlining building processes.
Compared to, say, steel or aluminum, what is the increased damage? I've read every single documentary news article, read reports from governmental agencies, and I still don't know what's so bad about lithium. Particularly compared to standard extraction of other resources that nobody ever talks about.

Especially oil. Oil and coal and natural gas have horrifying consequences for local environments all the time, and nobody ever talks about that. From fly ash ponds to spills to destroyed drinking water. If there was anything remotely as bad as that, wouldn't any of these articles I have read pointed out the damage? Literally the worst lithium story is political, not environmental, in that indigenous people are not being given enough compensation for their land, or not given enough input.

Cobalt has stories of child labor at artisanal mines, but again that is political, not environmental damage, and the environmental damage is the same as from all the other parts that go into the grid, or a car, and they don't have the horrifying consequences of fossil fuel extraction.

If I'm wrong, and there is something I don't know,I will be forever grateful for a pointer to clear documentation of this environmental damage you speak of. But I have been asking this question for years, and searching for years, and nobody, literally nobody, has pointed me to anything concrete. Just vague assertions at best. Which is not what environmental damage looks like. Environmental damage is specific, horrifying, and all too often swept under the rug as long as its wealthy fossil fuel companies doing it.

Very helpful answer, thanks!
To figure out what has worked univerally for kids, I recommend the book Hunt, Gather, Parent. However, there is a gap between applying what worked universally for thousands of years to our modern world. I think the linked article is a nice attempt at bringing universals of autonomy and intrinsic motivation to the modern world.
> The documents, a series of memos written by the group’s lawyer, detail ways for Project Veritas sting operations — which typically diverge from standard journalistic practice by employing people who mask their real identities or create fake ones to infiltrate target organizations — to avoid breaking federal statutes such as the law against lying to government officials.

Phase out vs phase down is kind of irrelevant. Hides how vague the phrase "phase out" is in the first place.

Are you kidding me right now? You suggested we use the densest part of Sweden as a comparison, which is not how comparisons actually work, but I humored you anyway -- and it's still nearly HALF, which makes it not even comparable. So even when you unfairly nit-pick a particular region of Sweden, you're still completely wrong in all of your assertions. Your trolling is off the charts right now.

Where is the big disconnect in that our own eyes can do these things so easily, and no camera can? It's not any insult to cameras, but a genuine question.
That's what a lot of them do. I live in Gilroy, and my neighbor is an HVAC guy that moved from San Jose to Gilroy, and only services as far north as Morgan Hill.

He has more work than he'd ever be able to fill, but now has the work/life balance to actually see his kids, too.

The neighbor one more house down is a welder, same deal.

To be absolutely fair, the first adequate namespaces implementation came out in kernel version 3.8, so that puts us in 2013, when talking capabilities to run %process% in a "container". Admittedly, a few years later than illumos. But then again, illumos was just playing catch-up with *BSD back then, as jails were available since 2000 ;)

By the way, what is your primary motivation for using illumos? genuinely curious.

There are very good reasons to find what Project Veritas has been credibly accused of quite distasteful. Institutions do no exist in a perfect vacuum, they consist of people, and people live in civil society.

I can't understand how this diatribe is related to housing. The NY times article mentioned by GP shows clearly "liberal cities" don't give a shit about mandating housing anymore than "conservatives cities" do; it's a false choice, Americans as whole want to preserve housing as an investment asset class. Every decision flows downward from there, and any other division is simply a distraction from the actual issue.
You're too right. I'd hardly even blame the "someone else", they're victims too. This is just what paranoid hypochondriac fascism does.
Neanderthals were a distinct genetic group. There's no reason to suggest that they weren't simply better adapted for the contemporary European climate before arrival of initial human populations. The humans who eventually outcompeted neanderthals in Europe were probably genetically and culturally distinct from those that originally arrived, assuming it took some number of generations to adapt to the northern geography/climate.

I think our brains use a lot of visual processing to make that work. Similar to how modern phones use AI object detection to identify important parts of low light photos and use different lighting params for different parts.

It’s insane that Apple publishes tabled of all the “allowed” prices in a PDF file.

If you haven’t seen it, it’s because you’ve never read the App Store agreement. They have a table in the PDF that lists out every single price you can charge. $0.99, $1.99, $2.99, … , $999.99. Per country too. Want to charge $1.49? Sorry, it’s not on the table of prices. It’s just absurd.

I see no incentive for Apple to become motivated to do this on their own.

Google, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft all wish their app stores could be as lucrative as Apple’s, and most of these are trying to do exactly what Apple is doing.
