There still isn't a TV on the market (that I know of) that is obsolete after a year, not even five years. As long as the inputs (hdmi, dvi, RCA) work then the TV is not obsolete. It may not have the newest features (4k, "smart&q

I work in a creative field (commercial post-production) so those social interactions at work often influence the work we do individually. It often starts with asking for a critique on what someone is working on or help solving a problem th

I am an introvert and occasionally miss the forced socialization of working in an office. After long periods of working from home, I'm usually ready for some office work.

Davinci Resolve is what Company 3 uses (The Martian, Spectre, Jurassic World, etc). It's available on Mac and Linux, but the big shops use the Linux version as they can expand it allowing for more real time nodes. Baselight is another

I'm with you except for the complaint about the price of the clothing. The cheaper a piece of clothing the more likely it was made with slave or underpaid labor in horrible conditions. American Apparel's manufacturing was the one

Yes, it's a lot of work, which is one reason, even on a short you'll see a long list of credits (specialization definitely improves the product). You can make a film for nearly nothing and occasionally someone will have the idea

Yes, if everything was available online, it would take out the exclusivity of the major festivals (which also act as markets for films without distribution). Why brave Park City in January if you can just fire up the web browser and see ev

Yeah. I agree, there should be some signal when looking through searches what is paywall content vs what is free. I'd be for Google punishing sites that don't differentiate (at least without putting to much thought into the subje

The one issue I have with that thought (without putting much thought into it myself) is the conflict of interest. By punishing Wired, Google is saying that the only approved (by Google) income stream is through advertising (Google's m

by modfodder 11y ago
Those bits of interest have become more mainstream and the same content can be found in more detail elsewhere. 10-20 yrs ago Wired was often the first place to get that information (or at least the first without digging).

Penalize the site or the story? Should Google keep it out of search until it shows up on the "greater" web or are you advocating punishing the whole site because they have some content exclusively walled for a certain amount of t

Apple does allow this, they just have to be in the correct format and loaded into iTunes on you computer. If your computers iTunes and the AppleTV are on the same network you can watch whatever video you have loaded. I do this all the tim

From your comments you don't seem worried about anyone paying their debts, believing rather they all made stupid choices. STEM PhD is currently at around 2.4 percent. But unemployment rate doesn't speak to income, they may be emp

It's more accurate to ask how many are learning something that the parts of our society that control the money find useful. Do we really need more computer science graduates making time wasting apps or on demand laundry start-ups? T

possibly, but most parents I know would clean up after their toddlers immediately in a bathroom that isn't in their own home. Maybe if the child is old enough to go by himself, but that didn't seem to be the case here. On the oth

I was thinking something similar. Seems the daycare industry might be ripe for "disruption" (or preferably, innovation).

Sounds like it was very tight financially, it might have made more financial sense for her to integrate childcare into her daily life at YC than for him to pay for daycare/babysitting while he's at work. Seems it worked out fine

No, dignity is not being the same person regardless of the situation. An asshole who is always an asshole doesn't have dignity, he's just an asshole.

On a bit of a tangent, check out the novella Sleep Donation by Karen Russell. A short sci-fi tale about viral insomnia.

There have been several game changers in the last decade, the RED camera being one. It's price was low enough and quality high enough that they have become somewhat ubiquitous, creating relatively low rental prices and creating a whole

esata is less ubiquitous than both USB and Thunderbolt (and firewire before it). External ports have never been standard on any macs and I don't ever remember them being standard on any of the HP machines we used (the majority of big

That's nice in theory but every post house I've worked at still needs plenty of thunderbolt and usb drives. The footage isn't shot at the post house, it has to be transported and copied over to the SAN, and everything is on

I don't think it will ever be as ubiquitous as USB, but it doesn't have to be useful. I'm a video editor and thunderbolt has saved me enough time copying files that i'll gladly pay the price. The cost typically gets pa
