  1. I think you mean 'controlling the depth of field is part of the art.'

  2. Re: Throw away those DSLRs on China's Huawei Caught Faking DSLR Shots as Smartphone Pictures in a Commercial (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    It's digital, but it's not a single lens reflex. Why they felt they needed to drag forward that acronym is unclear. SLR didn't historically mean 'real good camera' in the first place. SLRs were small portable medium-quality cameras. Good film cameras were Hasselblads and other larger format cameras, not cameras designed to shoot little tiny frames on what was originally motion picture film (35 mm).

  3. Also, really good photographers can take great photos with almost any equipment, because it's about the skill, not the equipment.

  4. Apple employees at work again, how are they different from scientologists?

    Scientologists will openly acknowledge they are part of a religion.

    It depends so much on where you want to live. We have a 2 bedroom 19th century house on 5 acres just ouside a small town. The mortgage payment is about $900.

  6. Why does the entire Internet need anybody to support it? We have the browser already....

  7. Throw off the yoke of Micro$oft and be freeeee!

    You'll be free, hackers!

    Anybody can list any number of things after the fact and put bold-face 'they were wong' after it. 'Flying cars by 1970.' Own the truth, bro.

  11. Stepped in the dog shit on my lawn. Stay as long as you like, Fido ate a lot today.

  12. Would it be appropriate for antitrust legislation to consider running absurd losses while pricing your competition out of business a violation of antitrust law?

    The term for that is 'dumping' and it is well known activity that anti-trust laws address. Perhaps enforcement has not been vigorous enough.

    With the degree of philandering and womanizing that MLK engaged in, it's a marvel that his streetsigns and statues haven't been pulled down by #MEETOO

    Roughly 90% of the native americans died from first exposure to European people, due to epidemics. It makes complete sense that the Europeans then had a docile weakened population to deal with.

  15. once we stop getting H2 from natural gas and instead from water

    Indeed. Once electricity becomes free. Don't stay up at nights waiting.

  16. Remarkably, Rei has not chimed in, at all, in this discussion. They have the usual comments, peppered with Musk jargon and catch-phrases, on the 'Boring Company to Sports Arena' discussio, so they are still present.

    Is this too toxic a topic to chime in on? Is Rei a sock puppet account run by Musky himself, which would render this a topic far too dangerous to 'go on record' with in case the identity of 'Rei' was revealed? Who knows?

    Your co-worker quit his job over a mirage position spun up by a headhunter, without ever even talking to anybody real at the supposed new employer?

    Headhunters just need to be driven out of the marketplace. Selling from the middle, they actively misrepresent the situation to both prospective employees and employers. Real companies, with active responsible HR staff need to just cut off their air supply.

  21. Re: Don't no-show on Recruiters Are Still Complaining About No-Shows At Interviews (kyma.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Headhunters just need to be eliminated from the process. My experience has been that third parties 'selling from the middle' will disrepresent the situation to both sides, the employee and the employer. They just need to go find a real job. (for themselves)

    Tell you what: I won't cite Paul Krugman (who's actually a Nobel-winning economist) if you can find a citation from someone - anyone - who's not just a political hack. No one serious actually believes inflation is currently overestimated.

    In other words my citation from Paul Krugman won't be good enough.
