No, because you then have to ensure no app can grab a screenshot. You have to make sure no app can find the stored image / phrase. You have to make sure the user doesn't simply have it (or a copy of it) in their pictures / documents directory named "securitypicture" or "securityphrase", etc.
A secure attention key is the way to go. How many decades have we know this for?
No, it's dumb. We as humans absolutely try to learn to communicate with other species at both ends.
We teach apes sign language and we study their own natural behaviors and sounds. We teach parrots to converse with us and we watch how they interact with other parrots. We teach dogs commands and we learn what their different barks, growls, etc. mean. We learned the language of whales and dolphins and even the dancing language of bees in order to communicate with them.
We, as the "superior" species, go to great efforts to learn to communicate with other species. We use our tools and technology to help.
The aliens in Arrival showed up and sat behind a glass partition while the humans did all the work. Despite the aliens being able to see the future, use telepathic abilities, etc. You can't deny the aliens had those abilities. They directly used them in the final act. It's a shitty, contrived "twist" for the plot and a cop out for the ending.
No it doesn't. Scanning systems from 20+ years ago can resolve plenty more.
The fairly ancient FUJICHROME Velvia 50 can resolve 160 lines per millimeter.
At 70 mm for IMAX, that's 11200 horizontal compared to 8K's 7680 or 8192 (depending on which 8K you mean), That's ignoring the fact that you generally want double the resolution to eliminate various artifacts, but if we're comparing the display side I don't think that matters.
Then there are medium format (60x60 and 60x90) and large format (102x127 and up) films which exceed IMAX. You'd have to be Ron Howard levels of crazy to use them for video, though.
This entirely misses the point of 8k. It's not just a resolution bump, it addresses multiple use-cases:
- Very large screens / projectors - Computer monitors that people typically sit much closer to - 120Hz native for ultra smooth, realistic motion - Much higher dynamic range and more accurate colour rendering - Comfortably exceeding the capabilities of your eyes in all situations
If you want a perfect picture, like looking out of a window, this is what you need. Most people haven't even seen 8k in real life, and when they have it's often on an early model TV that doesn't support the full colour range or 120Hz.
8k is supposed to be the ultimate, the final form of 2D television. NHK, the people behind it, skipped over 4k because it's just a stepping stone to perfection. If anything is to blame here, it's 4k being a half measure and 8k not arriving quickly enough.
- Just a resolution bump. - Just a resolution bump. - 120 Hz is 4 times as hard on 8K sets vs 4K sets. - 8K has nothing to do with dynamic range, color gamuts, etc. Any 4K set can do whatever an 8K set can do in this regard. (Though 8K standards may mandate support for better shit.) - Your first two points negate this one. Size and distance are variable. What if someone has a 200" diagonal projection? Using the.75xHeight rule in TFS, you need more resolution at 6 feet.
I'm all for 8K, but let's not pretend it's the be-all, end-all. Hell, it may very well may be that 4K is the be-all, end-all, for consumer TVs/monitors/projectors, with 16K handling theaters and commercial shit. It's far more of an economics question than a technical or biological one. Will people buy 8K content and displays for the home? What's the difference between making small, making high res displays for headsets (or implants) vs. making giant displays of the same resolution?
Nope, this "found" matter was already accounted for in the known matter area. The amount of dark matter / dark energy hasn't changed.
I understand that claim, but TFS sure as shit didn't make that clear.
Regardless, the entire premise of "dark matter" is that our observations of matter are incomplete. It's fundamentally a "knowns, known unknowns, unknown unknowns" shell game.
You're claiming that this was part of the "known unknowns" because we "know" the sum of the "knowns" and "known unknowns". This may be what TFA is saying, but the very fact that we have an "unknown unknowns" category means we really don't "know" shit. That category was literally made up to make the math work given our assumptions.
Arrival was indeed a big piece of shit. I posted about it in detail in the past.
Arrival was fucking stupid. We start with aliens and some interesting premise about communicating with them, but we end up with political bullshit that gets solved with time travel, telepathy, and essentially magic. The whole premise is shot when that shit happens because: Why couldn't the aliens use their time travel telepathy bullshit to help themselves? Why couldn't the aliens see / prevent the bomb? Or even more to the point, why couldn't the aliens see learning our language and then just communicate with us in out language? The whole fucking time they're sitting behind their glass barrier and watching Pam from The Office (I know it's not her) pantomime shit. The only thing missing was a Speak and Say toy. The aliens didn't do a damned thing to communicate with us, despite it being revealed that they'll need our help one day.
I also shat on Intershttps://slashdot.org/story/17/10/09/1836234/blade-runner-2049-isnt-the-movie-denis-villeneuve-wanted-to-make#tellar and Passengers in that post ( https://entertainment.slashdot... ).
I kind of want to see Blade Runner 2049, but I also don't trust any of the people involved. As far as I'm concerned, the movie doesn't need to exist and Ridley Scott needs to fucking stop. I fucking sat through both Prometheus and Alien Covenant. So Blade Runner 2049 will be a RedBox rental, at best.
Removable batteries tend to have a thicker, more durable casing. You sacrifice a bit of capacity but gain a ton in convenience, serviceability, durability (and yes, safety).
Unless Amazon manufactures the drugs, there will be no disruption. And unless Amazon secures the patents to newer drugs, or invents their own, there will be no major disruption.
I don't recall the angry mob of villagers taking responsibility for their actions against the innocent Frankenstein's "monster" ("creation" is the preferred nomenclature, dude).
Because the constitution grants Congress the power to establish a post office as an office of the state, and in 1794 the post office was permanently extended (after a initial creation and several acts extending it a year or two at a time).
Congress can kill the post office, and only congress can create a post office. (And Congress has been trying to kill the post office for a long time, but they can't do it outright as the public wouldn't stand for it, so they do shit like force them to fund pensions decades further out than anyone else, prohibit them from raising bulk mail rates, etc. Yet it lives.)
If Congress wanted to hand over the post office to Amazon, they'd have to untangle a whole maze of shit legally to have Amazon run the post office (but not outright own it). The cost would grow. And not gonna happen when Amazon can't even deliver its own packages reliably with its own delivery services.
Beyond that, Amazon would prefer to take advantage of the Post Office's lower rates with the "we hand it off the USPS, USPS delivers it" thing (FedEx and UPS do it too).
Yup. Amazon Logistics is what they've called it the past couple of years.
And it sucks. Things are delayed and delivered routinely. It sounds like they're just expanding it anyway and calling it something else to try and ditch the bad reputation.
DVDs are digital - hell it's right in the acronym Digital versatile disc.
It was originally Digital Video Disc. They tried to rejigger it afterward, but fuck them. Changing AND overloading acronyms for no real reason? No thanks.
I like how the "9-5" job standard is actually "8-5" now.
A few decades ago it really was 9-5. And on that a regular Joe could afford a house, a car or two, a spouse who stayed at home, 2-3 kids, a dog, and retirement.

Having sat through Prometheus, why the hell did you bother with Alien Covenant? Reviews were unanimously derisive from the very start.
Blade Runner 2049, however. Is superb. Don't sell yourself short by watching it on a 28" tube. It deserves IMAX. and immersive sound.
I got it at RedBox for like 56 cents (free DVD rental, paid for the BluRay upcharge). Still not worth it.
8k finally exceeds the resolution of IMAX.

Hillary lost. Get over it.
Not until he gets his first edition, hardbound copy of "What Happened" signed and put in a display case.
I think you mean Syfy. And did they kill it off? I tried watching the latest season but I just couldn't care anymore.
U r dum.
Dark matter is nothing buy a placeholder for the missing matter we expect to be exist but can't detect.
[matter we can detect] + [dark matter] = [matter we expect due to observation of gravitational effects]
A + B = C
By detecting previously undetected matter, we're increasing A and reducing B
Dark matter is literally a placeholder for matter we expect to be there but can't detect.
If we've found X more matter, that means there's X less dark matter out there.
