Absolutely superb. And I'm doing an optical illusions special with my students this week too so this goldmine is perfectly timed. Thanks!

My favourite are the colour ones. I stare and stare at them trying to isolate the bit that - for example - is actually grey but looks red, to see its "true" colour. That level of concentration...not really ever seeing the grey, but perhaps objects behind me in the room flying around Matilda-style.
Yeah, I did. That persistence eventually paid off. The photo looked faked just to my eye. I could see the lighting was off without needing proof.

EDIT to add: Don't know why this appeared twice. Never happened before.

To my eye, the Gaza photo appears to be illuminated by an off camera flash above and to the left of the camera. The man at the front on the left has a very bright left side of his face, and a very dark right side (also notice the shadow and light around his ear). Everything else in this photo seems consistent with this.

The reason for there appearing to be more dirt on the child's face is simply because it's a higher contrast image.

Maybe it has been manipulated more than is allowed, but I'm not seeing it.

EDIT: I'm not sure that there's only one artificial light source — notice how the front left man's visible ear is red? That's because it's being brightly illuminated from behind. Also notice that the top of his back (his left — photo right — shoulder) is illuminated, and that would be in shadow if the photo was only being lit by the flash that is lighting the left (his right) side of his face. Finally, there's another light source (maybe the sun?) that is causing the shine on the top right section of many of the heads (such as the bald man carrying the dead child).

Similarly, we've all experimented with not going to the movie theater at all.

I don't want to be barred from theaters, but I don't have a lot of use for them either. One particularly interesting presentation in movie theaters is the Metropolitan Opera "Live in HD". In this context I should mention some visual aspects of opera. Apart from music, opera presents quite a spectacle. And it's pretty common in opera to display translated lyrics simultaneously for the benefit of all who aren't well familiar with whatever the language of the performance may be, such as 18th century Italian.

> However, after asking our team, we decided it wasn't worth it keeping the support code around for terminal transparency, and dropped it.

Um, isn't this all handled by VTE?

And as a Gnome project, does this mean transparency will eventually be removed from VTE? I know of about 20 VTE-derived terminals that will not be pleased to hear this.

Yes that's my guess too. Note that the lab is in Netherlands.
Maybe you're on a train or a boat? I don't understand your criticism.
The argument about peoples faces being illuminated on the wrong side is flawed. The light on their faces is reflected from the wall on the left or hits them from behind. It cannot illuminate the right side of their faces because the building on the right casts a large shadow and because the sun is in peoples back.
There has been some serious dodging and burning going on this picture but you cannot conclude from light alone that it is a composite.
I don't buy his argument about inconsistent left-right lighting in the Gaza photo.

Assuming the sun is really top-right, it is actually expected that people's faces are illuminated from the left, given the setup: the people are between two walls, the left one being illuminated, the right one in shadow. The light you see on their faces is reflected from the left wall.
Your comment couldn't be more wrong.

Linking every Tea Party group to the Sovereign Citizens movement is just a smear.

'Not being opposed to taxation' isn't one of the eligibility criteria for a non-profit.

501(c)(4) (aka social welfare) organizations can participate in political activities if they like. Many of the applications were for 501(c)(4) organizations.

Many of the groups targeted never received their nonprofit status after being unwilling to comply with the extensive and invasive documentation requests.

Tax collection might be a necessity for every first world country, but so is a bureaucracy that doesn't use its power for political purposes. Apparently, America doesn't have one of those.
Playing the devil's advocate in a way: I'm not surprised that he got the ban. After Olav wanted to stop polluting the topic with this meta discussion about "tone" and "speculation", Felipe kept going on anyway, about how complaining about "tone" is unsophisticated (which is actually getting personal). It made him come off as wanting the last word, and that, I think, made them trigger the ban.

Of course, whether or not Olav should be so concerned about "tone" in a text-based medium is another matter entirely and I'll refrain from making a judgment call on that.
Maybe the reason they failed was because of friction that Google Glass removes.

"They" don't need to outpace the bitcoin network at its current capacity. All "they" need to do is add enough network capacity so that bitcoin mining with current technology becomes unprofitable. Then many other players who depend on the profitibility of mining will stop.

Mongo is for me not a database. And I worked like you 15 years with RDBMS and a year with mongo. Mongo has no security. Especially the Mongo Cluster Solution makes it so easy to steal and manipulate datas without notice.
Everyone who has access to the server can enter the database. Implemented "security" could be turned off with a restart.

And nowadays it is so easy in a datamodel in a RDBMS to make changes. It is high flexible too.

But another worst thing in Mongo is the performance at complex queries.
It is a nice bin for thinks nobody needs or to put documents in but that's it with Mongo.

It's hard to tell if GNOME developers are defensive because they are under attack or if they are under attack because they are defensive.

Bottom line: These people, weather they are arrogant, impolite or unsympathetic to users does not refute the fact that they are giving their time to the project.

GNOME has been under fire since the famous GNOME 3 release and I would understand the remaining developers to be a little touchy on the matter. At some point, you either stop - or you decide: Fuck this - I will just ignore user-input, because it sucks.

There is nothing more demotivating for developers (especially those working for free) than a loud group of people displeased with your work.

"Just stop" sounds like a warning to me.

Olav's comment about google plus and mailing lists suggest to me that Felipe has been on a crusade about this topic and using and soap box he could find. As any sort of community or project admin, the behavior of being told no and the constantly raising the issue and trying to drum up support is really annoying and likely to result in this type of situation.

I mean, I haven't used gnome in years or followed the community, but just reading the OP's post defending himself made me want to ban him. We can argue all day about a platonic world of argument and enlightenment where tone doesn't matter... But we live in the real world with real people.
Wow, that's kind of harsh - I find it quite nice to use every day; though some of these recent issues are disappointing.

(+ If they remove transparency in the terminal it might be enough for me to consider using something else, though I actually like gnome shell).

> but if you just add fields in an ad-hoc fashion over time the data becomes messy and it's hard to determine any invariants about a large dataset

In systems large enough to be running multiple versions of an app at the same time, talking to the same database, you have to do exactly this--but you have to shoehorn it into relations (doing things like having a field where 99.999% of entries in a column are null, and gradually get computed as the row is accessed by the new version of the app.) NoSQL lets you just say what you mean--that in some versions of the app, the schema is X, in some versions it's Y, and the database isn't the arbiter of the schema.

You need to have the displays in front of your eyes for 3d to work.

From what I can see of Google Glass the single display is offset. Adding another display would give you two displays, each offset. That'd be awful for 3d vision, giving terrible headaches and other disturbances.

But, sure, it's probably possible to have two displays in front of your eyes that are mostly transparent when not in use and have readable information when being used. Pretty scary if you're doing anything though.

Thanks for the constructive feedback. We'll not change the name and prepare quick explanatory videos for the big use cases.
Felipe, I'm completely unsurprised you got banned. This post is just continuation of the behaviour you can't see.

People are human. It doesn't matter if you're technically in the right, or that you think things should be some way - if you piss people off, they are going to tell you to stop pissing them off and then eventually they will do something rash.

In this post you just drag out the dirty laundry again and go through it painstakingly, and then post it to a public forum (HN) for everyone to see.

Just learn to let things go, for God's sake. You wouldn't have been banned if you just said 'sorry' or 'ok, let's agree to disagree' and started talking constructively.

Your goal is to talk them round to your point of view, not make them never want to talk to you again for fear of you blowing things way out of proportion.

Stop making stupid design decisions
Frankly, looking at the other fotos I find it quite hard to believe those children are even dead.

Firstly, muslims would never show images of dead people, but brushing that aside (and that would require explaining why hamas would have no problem with showing a few palestinian atheists world-wide. Also would those people behaving against islam's principles be in a large angry mob on the streets of Gaza ? I mean, that is avoided by most pious muslims in Gaza I hear).

Where are the wounds ? A bombardment kills by using shrapnel - lots of it - as bullets, or by crushing. Obviously these children haven't been crushed. The right child's face is full of sand, but the white burial clots is immaculate. They are lying flat ... euhm ... how did that happen ? (In case you don't know there's a reason they call a corpse "a stiff"). If they died through bombardment they wouldn't have been lying, they would have been curled up. Since nobody collects dead bodies immediately after a bombardment (would have to be in 2 hours or less), they would experience rigor mortis in the curled up position. At that point the only way to get them into a lying position would be to break all of their bones, which takes time and a lot of effort. The bodies in the picture are obviously not experiencing rigor mortis, they are flexible and move with the arms of those men ... so what is it ?

Either these kids died in the last 60 minutes before the picture was taken (where's the blood ? I hear even muslims have blood. And ahem, all muscles relax, which would color such an immaculate burial cloth yellow and brown for reasons I won't go into, again where are those discolorations ?). Furthermore the eyes wouldn't stay closed. Or they're past rigor mortis, dead for at least 3 days ... so why is there skin wet ? Why is there no loss of skin tone ? And frankly a corpse 3 days old smells to the point that no emotion will allow you to ignore that, and the smell is easily detected from 10 meters away in open air (no matter how exiting a medical student tells you it is, never open a drawer with a corpse, just don't, you'll still smell it constantly a week later).

The easy explanation for all of this is very, very simple : those kids are alive (they even look like they're holding their eyes closed, although that could be an impression). Lying about it would be perfectly in line with islamic practice (probably important for large angry mobs in gaze, don't you think ?), it would explain the lack of wounds, lack of blood/other bodily fluids, the eyes, the skin tone, the flexibility of the children, everything.

That would of course mean that it is a complete lie, and the photographer is very likely complicit.

I remember reading your story on HN. You guys are incredibly resilient. Very happy that it's finally all coming together for you!:S
In college I lived with one of the greatest people I have ever met, and he was from Palestine. My late father was born and raised in Israel, so the roommate and I definitely had our share of conversations about the situation. Just as a note, his dad was a high ranking official in the Palestinian political movement. He once told me, "If you give the people food, water, shelter, and don't steal their opportunity for a better life, there will be no problems." That always stuck with me and I think it is resoundingly true.

When I went to Israel in 2008 for the 20th time in my 26year life, I learned that in Israel the average income is almost $30000, while in every neighboring country the average income is well below $5000, some under $1000. Palestine included. Israel is a completely different world than the countries that surround it. The situation over there is crazy and though it didn't end to well for my dad here(check my posts to figure that one out) I can see why he snuck out of the army 6 months early to get the f out.
And once you know the basics, I strongly recommend "SQL Anti-Patterns" for a good guide for what not to do and why not (and what mitigating circumstances might make an otherwise bad choice OK (or simply the only available option)). I read it while considering myself experienced and found it to be a useful refresher. The style/tone is light and well organised by task/objective, so I suspect everyone down to a beginner will find it well worth their time perusing.

(My experience has been that) most large companies lack defined processes and business models in critical areas because their models are too complex to fully define in software -- outside organisations know crap all about these complexities, and internally the skill sets are too low to implement a complex system --- and to be honest, who wants to spend three years and millions of dollars coding up an application for a business model that has already changed in that time? Sometimes, simple CRUD Apps are all that is needed.
