As a traditional painter, I would love to see the individual pigments used, instead of dominant colors.
I know this is not straightforward, but maybe doable to some degree based on the range of hue/value/saturation and context?
It's true that a single private jet is causing tons of CO2 emissions. But in the end, all consumers control the market.
You can jump one link further in the chain to regions with much lower emissions. Somalia/Congo emit over 200x less CO2 per capita in comparison to the US. Do you think that's fair for them if the "regular salaried people" don't care?
If responsibility always gets dismissed by pointing to someone emitting more, nothing changes.
It's a database of light bulbs tested using a 1-meter barium sulfate integration sphere and calibrated lumen photospectrometer.
Although no LED comes close to the Halogen in terms of CRI, it is very informative.
This looks very cool.
I really hope the results are not overly cherry-picked like Adobe's first version of the text-to-vector generation that only worked particularly well for the showcased art styles.
Because properly securing your systems is hard, especially if the attack surface is large. The attacker only needs to find a single weakness.
Furthermore, you don't hear from all the teenagers trying to find vulnerabilities across the web, just when there's headlines.
Aside from color and translucency, an original artwork shows also the relief. It can tell much about the creation process of a painting and adds additional texture.
Furthermore, some pigments were expensive and hard to work with prior to the 19th century such that artists used it very sparingly.
Further down the article, the lawsuit is cited:
"As a result of Google’s material misrepresentations and other deceptive conduct, Ms. Vaca has been significantly damaged, including, but not limited to, financial losses of more than $5 Million, severe emotional and psychological distress, and the loss of the real estate business she spent most of her adult life trying to build," her lawsuit states.
So according to the article she did inverst the 4.6m.
If you've ever wondered about the unusual arXiv.org website favicon:
The original logo was a skull with bones as reference to the piratey nature of distributing preprints without the publisher's consent. The smiley face was added later in order to make it less offensive. Due to the conversion to a non-transparent format, the backgrond was filled with the green color.
A very valid comparison, they indeed share lots of characteristics. I also feel that adaption in real estate would have societal benefits.
The difference to real estate business lies in the fact that it is much more diverse and way harder to manage.
Domains are managed by one organization, ICANN (with respective tld management), which facilitates a policy change. We also see changes in digital space progress much faster.
There are approx. 600'000 new domain names registered over Verisign in Q3 2020 alone [1]. In the future, the significance of the problem will only grow.
I'm shocked by how many commenters here sympathasize with the domain squatting/parking business. Sure it may be a fun side-project or profitable long-term investment.
But trying to make money from people who actually create value is not really the future of the web I want to see.
As much as I love the swiss mobile network - saying that it works everywhere is wrong. In the mountains you still have smaller regions without service from all major providers. Especially when you are high up, you have to know that you cannot rely on 100% on your mobile connection.
You can take a look at the Swissom mobile coverage map here (german):
Very well written article!
For further reading, I would also recommend diving into the conceptual overview of the gradient boosting framework LightGBM.
It features some interesting optimization techniques for better overall performance.
Agreed, especially what I often see from search engines related to health and fitness. Many blogs with short, descriptive domain names, that are completely over-optimizing in SEO, changing publish dates of articles and offering bad UX in general (invasive ads, popups, trackers, ...)
