Because, while it is a landmark achievement, it has little relevance to which people have access to health care, which people are confined to cages their entire lives, or which people are allowed to make decisions about their own bodies --

Yup. It also: - Is a signal that the driver intends to turn. Drivers should also be using their actual turn signals, of course, but as a cyclist I would much rather have a driver who fails to signal merge early and turn, rather than turn wi

You might check out Mitsuba ( http://www.mitsuba-renderer.org/ ) and LuxRender ( http://www.luxrender.net/ ). Both are more modern open-source renderers with Python APIs, and I know that Mitsuba is quite popula

In any case, running global illumination often causes a major increase in rendering time. So it's understandable that Pixar, which has to render a huge number of frames at huge resolutions, did not traditionally use it much. There's also

Secord et al. also did a perceptual study in which they determined which features were most correlated with user viewpoint preference and built models for viewpoint preference based on this information: http://gfx.cs.princeton.edu/pubs/Sec

What would worry me is that I don't understand what Facebook really wants out of this acquisition, and why this will motivate it to do right by Parse users. It looks to me like a number of other people in this thread don't understand either

What the hell? I clicked through and I have no idea why you are so disgusted. As far as I can tell: * This is on a site for expatriate women in Japan. * This page belongs to their monthly series of profiles on various women living in Japan.

If you sympathize with the author: do not post things like this. Listen to him. What makes you think you were the intended audience? What makes you think you know why he was writing? Do you see the irony in you trying to "educate" a black p

Don't fault people who have to put up with this shit, day in and day out, for not having limitless reserves of patience. His job isn't Racism Educator, so why should he have to act like it? I mean, yeah, ideally everyone is infinitely calm

It looks to me like the robot just exhibits less motion in general. This might be because (as far as I can tell) the authors optimize only to match a set of static poses, not for physical or perceptual realism of motion.

Better than Apple can without Google? Maybe. Better than the existing Maps app? I use transit directions in Maps a lot and the transit apps I've downloaded very rarely. I'm skeptical about this.

No, but your page still makes me play "hunt the noisy tab", and then, if I decide I want to watch the video, requires me to pause my own music to listen to your loop. I don't object to all audio. Click-to-play and relevant? Great! But auto-

That's not really something I would want to try. Omitting references can lead to accusations that you are trying to claim as your own novel contributions things that others have already done.

I thought it was a little odd that he says the proper way to solve the problem is to have a higher-res screen, just before he says that we can't do super-sampling because it's too expensive.

It's a nice interface, but I'm a little confused about your column adjacency cost function. In particular, why sum only the bottom quartile of pixel distances to get column costs?

Do you think there is some huge pool of people good enough for YC who just don't get in? Yes, I believe that there are probably more than 300 people in the United States who could potentially be accepted to Y Combinator. I'd believe there

The lengths to which this article goes to construct a model sympathetic to the author's views are incredible. It takes data showing a greater variance among males than females: - in mathematical ability - among schoolchildren - on a standar

As best I can tell, cyclist's opinions of me as a driver tend to be directly correlated to how far into my lane they ride. If there are parked cars, you have to move into the lane or risk getting doored. Near intersections, you have to mo

I think you're confusing the extent of what is possible in your current type systems with what is theoretically possible with types. Why can't a type system keep track of units? Why can't it be aware of precision? If it's possible for you t

I like the sound of that policy -- for some courses, it would work fine. For other, there might be problem: * Some courses are hard enough, and many undergraduates are undisciplined enough, that a lot of students would end up failing. Of

Perhaps other people are different, but I rarely learn important things or acquire deep understanding without doing a certain amount of "busy work". It took me a semester of physics homework to actually understand vector calculus. I had to
