Libraries are so unfair to Mr. Bezos. They should obviously be demolished. But I'm concerned that their demolition would be an expansion of government "doing things". It would be best if interested parties simply be allowed to demolish them at will without interference from the state.
Are there DSLRs with image processing features like Google's "Night Shot"? Where you can take a very long hand-held exposure and it will never be blurry?
I don't get the feeling you can fix this through voting with your wallet. Markets don't seem to solve these kinds of issues, on the contrary, this seems to be a negative side-effect of their core nature, that all decisions come down to profit maximization.
Maybe exerting our collective power for the public good through democracy? Some kind of new commerce regulation that would disallow bundling in general? I wonder, are there arguments that there would there be any downsides to doing that? Does anyone believe that bundling is a net positive in any sector?
I've marked dozens of videos on a single topic as "not interested", only for them to be replaced by different videos on the same topic soon after. Marked all those as "not interested" again, and the next day there were more.
The only thing that works for me is finding the video in my watch history that's causing the recommendations and removing it there. Often it's even something I didn't watch all the way through or even gave a thumbs-down; apparently thumbs-down also means I secretly want more of this content?
YouTube's recommendation algorithm is somehow worse than useless.
The `--reference` and `--dissociate` flags to `git clone` can be used to avoid the majority of the network transfer while still creating an independent local repository.
For the competitive games where higher framerate is most advantageous (i.e. shooters), I come to the opposite conclusion. Games like that tend to have long periods of low activity where you aren't being challenged, with short periods of chaotic fighting where framerates are significantly worse. It's only during those chaotic times where the performance (of both the hardware and the player) actually has an effect on the outcome of the match.
I think it's far more important to have a consistent framerate than it is to worry about wasting potential (fast) frames. Inconsistent smoothness and input lag will create a disadvantage compared to just playing at a capped (lower) framerate.
So I think a balanced system (both the hardware and the graphical settings) with a 144hz monitor should be able to run games at far beyond 144 fps most of the time, so that the framerate will only drop down to around 144 in the worst moments. I would even suggest setting a framerate limit near the worst framerate your system often drops down to in the game.
How much your hardware needs to be "overprovisioned" depends on how poorly optimized the game is. For many games this can as much as a factor of two difference. So you might only be putting 50% load on your GPU most of the time, but peak at 100% load at important times.
In typing position, your arms are not parallel. Neither are the fingers of one hand parallel with the other. Doesn't that make the standard staggered layout more ergonomic than ortho? Isn't that the reason for the staggering?
> To estimate the optimal intake for each dietary factor, we first calculated the level of intake associated with the lowest risk of mortality from each disease endpoint based on the studies included in the metaanalyses of the dietary relative risks. Then, we calculated the optimal level of intake as the weighted mean of these numbers using the global proportion of deaths from each disease as the weight.
That methodology sounds like it would only be valid if each type of harm functioned entirely independently and was only affected by a single intake factor?
The words "carbohydrate" and "calorie" appear nowhere in the study. Did they allow the effects of caloric malnutrition to skew the calculations of optimal intake levels?
If consuming more carbohydrates is helpful compared to being malnourished, that does nothing to show that there's a minimum level of fruit and grains that are necessary for health.
If adding more fat intake to a high carbohydrate diet is harmful, that doesn't necessarily mean fat is universally unhealthy.
This just seems like a report of correlations that are biased by the distribution of diets that are being commonly consumed.
However, it seems like something that would need clever UI integration to really solve the problem. Any user oriented actions like github starring, reddit upvoting/saving, browser bookmarking, etc. might need to also do a pin?
Some people have always been there. That doesn't mean they got there because not being homophobic is a slippery slope.
Your video seems to be about a pedophile who is upset that the LGBT community isn't inclusive of pedophilia. I don't understand what point you were trying to make by linking that.
