I've scanned a few hundred images using an iPad as the light source. I've tried both a white screen and a bluish screen designed to basically invert the orange cast from the negative.
Both seem to work well. The bluish thing works quite well, but it turns out that different rolls need slightly different light color to compensate, so it wasn't worth the trouble. In the end the best result was buying a license for Negative Lab Pro[0] to post process everything
I think a statement like that merits a source. You mentioned tires being ablative. 30k miles of tires being worn off ~= few pounds of material vs 600 gallons of fuel (assuming a 50mpg ulev).
It checks a reference video against an encoded video and returns a score representing how close the encoded video appears to the original from a human perspective.
It asked specifically if they couldn't make payroll for the next 30 days
Also -- it's 30% of those who responded to the survey. So lots of startups could be banking with SVB and have not bothered to fill it out. Maybe those less likely to make payroll would be more likely to fill out the survey
You're definitely right, but one mitigating factor is that Starlink satellites are in a pretty low orbit. They'll naturally decay relatively quickly and drop out of orbit at end of life.
I've been liking https://fathom.video a lot. Integrates well with Zoom. I think you can choose which recordings are shared with teams -- and their transcription is pretty good.
I'm glad the author also points out how customer (mis)use can blow up data warehouse costs too. No matter how efficient Snowflake could get, using the warehouse too much or with unnecessary queries will ultimately have a larger impact.
The trend in the data space currently is for usage to increase -- as more companies adopt dbt they're running more and more prebuilt (materialized views) queries on a scheduled basis, rather than on demand. This is overall a good thing in that data is becoming easier to manage and use, but it does come at an increase in warehousing costs.
I think eventually the pendulum will swing back to tools that help optimize warehouse usage, as long as they allow for the same increase in productivity as dbt (disclosure - I work for one such company)
At 29 I took a year off everything and traveled. One thing I've learned in the decade+ since is that every year that goes by makes it harder to do. If you're feeling the itch just do it. You'll have a lot of years in your career so don't think you're missing out on anything -- assuming you're able to make the finances work.
Could be a contributing factor. As for me I live downtown in Manhattan in a 'nice' neighborhood (though in downtown they're nearly all nice). The equivalent in SF is the opposite.
One thing could be that there are real neighborhoods where people live in the denser parts of the city. Our public schools (in Manhattan) are extremely good, so families do actually live there. AFAIK folks generally leave SF once they have kids.
What I don't get, living in NYC, is why it's so much safer (seemingly) than SF. Yes, we have homelessness and crime, and it has sharply risen during COVID, but not to this point.
NYC is a much bigger city, politically very liberal, and our politicians aren't exactly amazing, so what's different?
Yeah. I suppose I mean that she's been disappeared for the public eye for a while, so why leave now? My guess isn't that maybe she's lost too much influence and just doesn't find the job interesting anymore.
That's pretty surprising. I know that there has been tons of controversy swirling around the company the past few years, but things have seemed relatively quiet lately, other than their recent bad revenue growth.
Do people here think this is a shakeup at the company or that she legitimately wanted to do something else?
The trick (unfortunately) is to slow down. If you don't have a tight schedule, and can sort of wander, you can start somewhere well known and end up somewhere off the beaten path pretty organically.
You'll also meet a network of longer-term travelers who exchange info about where to go (and not go). You don't have to go somewhere that literally no one has been to see something a bit unique, magical, and mostly devoid of casual tourists.
It can happen, but it's rare. Read up on 'piercing the corporate veil' if you're interested. It generally happens in cases of fraud, gross misconduct, criminal behavior, etc. In a more common scenario of a company going bankrupt through the normal course of business the founder's assets will be protected.
