Normal mapping provides exactly the sort of shape-from-shading cue boyd describes. Stereopsis isn't required for normal mapping to be beneficial; indeed, in the fifteen years since boyd did the work she summarizes in her article, normal mapping has become ubiquitous among 3D engines which purport to render a realistic result.
I was wondering that as well. It wouldn't be too hard to pull individual frames out of synced movies, script panotools to assemble stitched frames into spherical or other panoramas, and then reassemble into movies.

I've seen commercial firms offering similar services. I also know that about 10 years ago there was an unfortunate bit of a patent minefield surrounding panorama software, I'm not sure of the current status of those patents or techniques like these.
I'm really confused by your argument.

Who designs and implements the automated takedown system? YouTube

Who enters content into the automated system such that it becomes a claim of copyright infringement and a takedown request? The content owner

You are saying that you recall reading that submitting content through something like YouTube's system will never meet the bar of "knowingly and materially" misrepresenting a claim? I doubt it.

How about this scenario:
Litigation reveals this email from the CEO - "Watch this guys, I totally don't own this clip and I know I don't own this clip but I'm going to submit it through Content ID anyway and get every hit taken down immediately"
I don't get the "back in my grandpappy's day the steam engines left and we still survivded" notion that automation is not killing jobs. Most everybody was employable back in the 1820s. Simply because of the fact that there was no automation. Train took your horse carriage job? Go work in the fields.

If all department stores adopted automated cashiers, the cashier as a retail option as we know it is dead. Killed.

If all farms adopt tractors and automatic harvesting machines, the crop picker option as we know it is dead. Killed.

Etc. Etc.

There will come a time when we can conceive of a new task to be completed, while simultaneously sketching up the automatic machine to complete the task.

In fact, this job-killing-automation already exists in the form of the latest and greatest production lines. They were not built to be filled with workers, only product.

Maybe it's net losing jobs because we don't teach people to imagine how they might automate their own job and prepare for the worst case scenario (a drop in the value of the job you're currently trained for).

We teach people to go to school and to get a job and to hold onto that job for as long as possible. That used to be playing it safe but it's playing it pretty not safe these days.
If you're African American, I don't blame you. Muslim Americans go through the same sense of relief when a terrorism-type crime happens and the perp is not Muslim. AAs who perpetuate the stereotypes make you cringe.
I live on well under $1400/month now. For a while I was living in a 400rs/night hostel and spending about 600-700rs/day. Billions of my fellow human beings live on considerably less than that.

If you want to argue that wages are not high enough to sustain the moving goalposts of US middle class life, do it. But do it honestly and acknowledge that the main problem is that the definition of "middle class" (or whatever term you want to use) has risen more rapidly than low skill wages.

Using phrases like "possible to live off" is simply a lie. If it were true then I should be surrounded by over a billion dying people and I should be dead myself.

Check your privilege, dude.

I'm no scientist, but off the top of my head, I'd say you would start by finding a group of women who experience simulator sickness with the Rift, and a given simulation, at a significantly higher rate than do men. Then you'd want to modify the simulation, e.g. by adding normal mapping to offer the shading cues boyd discusses, and see whether and how the incidence of simulator sickness changes.

"There will come a time when we can conceive of a new task to be completed, while simultaneously sketching up the automatic machine to complete the task."

My point throughout this thread has been to say that we are already at the point where if you have a task you should already be thinking of ways to automate it and it's THAT failure that is really killing jobs - not any act of bringing in automation.
in some cases, you want to know that things have disconnected and data won't be coming through even if it should

OpenSSL is scary, but spiped only uses a very very small corner of the OpenSSL code. In particular, it doesn't use any SSL code.

If you want to play with rethorics be my guest. You very well know what I mean and is just trying to dodge the real issue here.

Most people once they move out of their early twenties have obligations bigger than themselves. Sure some people can choose to live for 1400/month but most people can't and therefore the government is stepping in to help.

Maybe you don't have a problem with that. I do.
So what if that is the case? What's your point?
The hashes are there for convenience, not for security.
So this is not exactly news, is it.

It's just the ramblings of a blogger, based on a bunch of hypotheticals and old info (i.e. again "not news").

Which part of this "editorial" is actionable here? Should Microsoft have thought "hey, if it's too late we better just give up"?

Does it mean you should abandon all Microsoft products because it's "too late"? Office is still a good product, and becoming better, and available on more platforms. There are challengers, but Office is keeping up.

What exactly does "it's too late" mean anyway? Too late for what? Is Microsoft about to go bankrupt? No. Is it too late for it to be 1995 again? Who cares?

But liens against homes can be useful. Additionally if you can get a temporary lien pending litigation, it means that both sides are relatively tied up. But more to the point if individuals were to be held legally responsible, then you give incentive to behave.

Also keep in mind one's options for participating in other companies with international legal concerns may be impacted by personal bankruptcy. Many European countries do not allow those who have filed bankruptcy to sit on the board or have legal responsibilities on behalf of a corporation.
First, I never even considered that you meant gallery in the traditional sense. Just sounds like that app I use all the time, ha!

Second, I get that you are saying that this is some extra, additional, voluntary system - but I also don't see how that's possible. Copyright only exists as a legally recognized utility. Think about what you're saying. It would mean that YouTube is allowing people to say they should be empowered to direct action be taken with respect to some specific content that's been or could be uploaded by another, but it's not because that power is called copyright protection, through which the DMCA is the relevant scheme of copyright protection. It's because they just have some extra volunteer system that says if you want this taken down, they'll take it down.

Maybe you need to explain the actual YouTube system to me better because I'm a lawyer and I can analyze the law well enough for myself.
Sure, it has a wide variety of niches which it fits greatly, and where it can be successfully used - but if anybody considers it as a solution to obsolete ICANN, as the original article proposes, then it's an entirely different ballpark than being just a name/value store; and rather different criteria for success.
Imagine that you were a paleolithic craftsman making handaxes. You take your time to make high quality handaxes that are beautiful and durable. Meanwhile another guy only spends 60% as much time making handaxes, only achieving 80% of the beauty and durability. But he has more time to slaughter game, bringing in meat, organs and hide for the tribe - the proxy to status in the tribe. So he is more 'succesful' than you, genetically.

Atlernatively, another tribe manages to make an axe for every man in their tribe before your tribe does, since they are more sloppy but more effective in their craftsmanship. You get your skull cleaved, ending your lineage.

And that, folks, is why people unnderappreciate beauty.

The 'beauty' of paragraph-long evo psych theories is that they can explain pretty much anything.

If only I were smart enough to have thought of that. Then I might have cited PPP-adjusted numbers rather than nominal ones. I'd have said this: "GDP/capita (adjusted for purchasing power) in Bulgaria is $14,100...here in India it's $3800"

If I were really smart, I might also have anticipated your dishonest response and said this: "These numbers are adjusted for purchasing power, so don't argue that it's cheaper to live over here."

[edit: It's amusing that in your response you bring up food. Fun fact: poor people over here aren't fat. You really need to leave the US at some point in your life. Canada and the UK don't count.]
I went through the exact same thought process before submission. Happy that its all good now.

He likely just enabled them all, or at least enabled several which are likely candidates for his target to download.
> If you are an investor, you carry the same percentage of liability as stock. E.g. if you own 10% stock, you are directly liable for $1 million of a $10 million liability (financial or legal).

I think there is where you run into problems. The real problem is that the investor really is not in a position to ensure that the company is run a certain way.

Now if the shareholders vote on a resolution to dump toxic waste in the river, then I think applying liability to the vote in proportion to the share is appropriate. But then those who vote against would have no liability.

The reason why limited liability exists is to help ensure that non-decision-makers are protected from the decisions of others. But if you aren't going to give them protection, why not also have a rule that banks who loan money to corporations are liable for misuse of the money loaned?
It is hard to imagine anything is too late for a company that made over 20 billion profit last year. Even if Windows has done worse aren't Office sales increasing on OS X for example. Microsoft is a company that sells Office first and foremost.

It reads a lot better in a column width which can't be measured in positive integer miles. Unmaximize the window and you no longer need the color-cuing extension at all.

I get that Microsoft has made some missteps lately, but I find it insane that there seems to be this mindset of Microsoft being on some big downward spiral to oblivion.

They are still making boat loads of cash, they are still making things people want and do use, and they are making a lot of exciting changes. No, it is not too late for Microsoft.
We Want Agile Processes
In my experience it's only moderately helpful, and often plain useless, for exactly the reason you mention. It does not handle 'mixed modes' (or whatever you want to call it) at all. I have two places of work and sometimes work from home, but i can only set one location as work. I commute sometimes by bike or walking, sometimes by train, and rarely by car (but it does happen). But; according to Google you can only have one mode of transport. There's probably a pattern to my madness but it does not seem like Google is smart enough to find out (which is hard to believe). For now this is aimed at the american suburbanite soccer mom i guess (and as a, albeit european, semi-suburban dad i'm not even that far from that demographic).
As for the "where I was a while ago" - yes it does not track your position in real time. You have to refresh it manually to get the estimate from current position.
What about the MANPATH env var? Is that considered as well?

Either way, `brew install spiped` fails on OSX if $MAN1DIR is set because brew works without sudo and all the directories in /usr/share/man are only writeable by root. Obviously not your problem, but just putting it out there. Is MAN1DIR a FreeBSD env var or is it used by other distros?

I was bummed out that spiped was not in Red Hat's yum package registry. I wonder if it's in the other distro registries.
I don't feel like I'm reaching at all. I feel like I'm describing a pretty general truth.

Job A gets replaced by Automation 1.0. Automation 1.0 required the labor of Jobs B, C, and D to become a reality. Now, not only can Jobs B, C, and D become greatly automated but Automation A is going to eventually lead to Automation 2.0 which led to Jobs E, F, and G being created. Within one generation of the death of Job A, six other jobs were created.

You're arguing that specialization isn't opened up but someone specialized in something enough (robotics, AI, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, something) to lead to the automation in the first place.
I should have posted the https link. If a mod wants to edit the url for this, twould be appreciated.

cperciva, why serve http at all or not at least redirect people to https by default?
Yes, in general getting 50/50 up+down hills, as tail+head winds decrease your total efficiency, as if you drive both directions (getting both the advantage and disadvantage), then you tend to drive the disadvantaged half slower (but not using less power, so no efficiency benefits from that) = it affects you longer = it has more effect on efficiency.
Paying For Facebook Promotion is Now Akin to Paying the Mafia for “Protection”
That's not a general truth at all. Thats the point. There is no data that shows that new jobs are created to replace those lost by automation. So not it's not a general truth at all.

> Traffic flow may be best measured, not in feet or meters, but in multiples of the average car length.

And you've just thrown out the other advantage of metric: universality. The average car length is different in USA than in Europe. If you use "the USA average" to count flow in there, and "the EU average" to count flow in Europe, then you cannot compare those measurements afterwards. If you force EU to use "the USA average car length", then the measure is extra counter-intuitive for EU people. If you just use the "world average car length" then the figure is subtly counter-intuitive for most people.

That's why it is better to stick with a universal measure, and let that measure be easy to operate with. The metric system provides both features. Then just let people do what they're good at: figuring out what the "normal" ranges of values are and work from there.
Longer gearing will improve the high-end efficiency where it wasn't yet optimal - to help 90MPH you could target that with your super 7th gear at "ideal" torque/RPM. However the overwhelming aerodynamic drag means the peak efficiency won't shift to the right much, and it'll probably stay around 40-45mph (the power required is proportional to the cube of speed and 11x stronger at 90MPH than 40MPH) [4]. In many cases that super 7th gear wouldn't help 40mph (peak) at all if 5th/6th had already optimized 40mph.

I think the 55-70 range is pretty optimized on production cars today, including those with 5 or 6 speed transmissions - but you may be able to make more gains with longer gears/a CVT at speeds above that. In an earlier age of 3-4 speed autos (and sometimes a national 55mph limit), manufacturers had fewer gears to work with so a super long gear for 80MPH efficiency would trade off midrange efficiency and acceleration, and the EPA didn't test that anyway until 2006 w/ higher highway speeds

[4] My reference on the ~40MPH ideal speed (which I'm now more convinced about is the ideal for cars today) is the Motor Trend [1] test (all economy sedans peaked 35-40ish), several Hypermiler/car specific forums [2] and some personal cruise control tests with some rental/Zipcars with a digital gauge. Other ways to test include Scangauge/the Torque Android app. (The reason the ~40mph peak isn't even lower, is due to gas engines especially larger ones, being less efficient if they produce too little power - there is a minimum RPM at idle and always friction). So my earlier statement of "optimal peak would have been 30-40" - it's already around 40, and it doesn't have to achieved in top gear.

I put "ideal" in quotes earlier since the torque peak is one of many factors for the engine - the ideal cruise RPM is almost always lower due to less engine friction and lower pumping losses when you aren't asking for full power. If you ask for more power, your optimal RPM goes up closer to the torque peak. A generic motor from a friend's auto engineering class [3] (If you say had a Honda S2000 with a torque peak at 7500rpm, cruising there would kill your mileage)

Yeah, though by 4-wheels-on-ground I was mostly referring to flying/maglev type vehicles, or perhaps a vastly different design that had very little aerodynamic drag

The point is the workers themselves didn't become less valuable because people != their job. If your job is in danger of becoming less valuable, have more skills ready to go, gain more skills while you work, gain more skills quickly when you are danger of losing work, gain more skills when you do lose work. Oh and by the way, ALL jobs are in danger of becoming less valuable. So this is really just a constant.

If these opportunities don't exist, it's not the death of the job who is to blame. It's the system that failed to provide for opportunities when the job dies (as it is likely to do).
Did you adjust by state? Did you look at what kind of food you can get when you have what ever is left after rent etc for 1400 per month. So yeah if only you where so smart to have done that then you might have a point. But you didn't so you don't.
