To me, there seems to be plenty if information on recorded video, as it contains previous as well as future frames that should contain sufficient information to provide considerable clarification of a present image frame. Anyone have info on anyone doing this?
This is used already in multi-frame superresolution. TFS seems to be talking about compressive sensing, which is a completely different beast. Compressive sensing is based on assuming sparseness to solve an underdetermined system of linear equations. It doesn't always work (as it's not always a valid assumption), but when it does you can get very impressive results. That is to say, if you have some underdetermined system of equations, it'll have infinite possible solutions. This obviously doesn't lend itself well to getting a good answer from it, but by imposing the condition of sparseness, you can arrive at a (very close to correct) solution.
What does that have to do with a solar plant? Are you implying that Spain is on the verge of bankruptcy on account of this solar plant? Your comment is tangential at best and nonsensical at worst.
Actually that quote is taken out of context. FTFA:
"In 2009, NIF officials announced an aim to demonstrate nuclear fusion producing net energy by 30 September 2012. But unexpected technical problems ensured the deadline came and went; the fusion output was less than had originally been predicted by mathematical models.
Soon after, the $3.5bn facility shifted focus, cutting the amount of time spent on fusion versus nuclear weapons research - which was part of the lab's original mission."
It's stating that their original goal was to break even using fusion in 2012, didn't reach that goal, and shifted focus to weapons. That was a year ago, in 2012, before their recent breakthrough. I doubt they'll be shifting their focus away from fusion again anytime soon
CT Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) has been done on airplanes for many years. Is this special or different in any way? Is the primary innovation just that it's being applied to cars now? The description in the summary makes it sound pretty mundane; "... hoisted onto a turntable, and as it turns, two X-ray detectors on either side scan it. Then multiple images are merged into a single, three-dimensional CT scan". This is pretty much the protocol for any industrial CT imaging.
That would be the case in the absence of gerrymandering. As it stands, the only threat they have is from within their own party during the nomination phase.
TFS states he's an investor, not an executive. Where did you get that idea? The quote "...performed very well under such an extreme test. The batteries went through a controlled burn which the Internet images really exaggerates." is from the driver, not the VP. Just the fact that a VP of the company contacted him about it would indicate that Tesla took the whole event rather seriously.
There is one article stating that they made more on the digital downloads of In Rainbows than all of their previous albums' digital downloads combined. Note that this isn't total sales or other merchandise, just digital downloads. Of course, they didn't have their catalog on itunes until 2008, and when they got started in the early 90's, there wasn't much of a digital market, so the comparison isn't a particularly good one. They have also stated that they won't be doing the pay-what-you-want again in the foreseeable future.
As I recall, Radiohead made much more money selling pay-what-you-want copies of "In Rainbows" than they did with all their previous albums put together.
Uhhh then you recalled incorrectly. They made more on OK Computer alone than from In Rainbows.
Keyboard, mouse, monitor, power supply, SD Card for OS, USB stick for writable partitions because the SD card support is asstastically slow, Wifi adapter, time for someone to image the SD card for it, trouble because the RaspberryPi is poorly engineered power hog that can hardly sustain its own circuits, and don't forget, you still need a case.
I recently purchased a RaspberryPi. Everything together it came out to under $100 ($42 for the pi + $25 for keyboard/mouse + $9 for SD card + $10 for WiFi USB adapter), not counting the monitor (I hook it up to my TV, as it has an HDMI port). You just need some 5V 2.1A power source; I just use an old phone charger I had. I recently moved, so I didn't have a spare keyboard or SD card. For most people, odds are they already have this stuff laying around. Also, no need for a case. The SD card imaging is very simple, they provide the documentation and requisite files. You greatly overstate the cost and difficulty of using a RaspberryPi. Do you have an axe to grind or something?
It depends on the university; at the university I went to, they had a couple of (optional) classes that covered design patterns. It depends on what area of CS you're into, i.e. someone doing more theoretical stuff won't be too interested in design patterns.
NASA promised to select five winners that will be adhered to the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission (MAVEN) before it is launched towards Martian airspace.
If they're going to Mars anyways, why would bringing 5 poems add any cost? Are you proposing that the added weight of 5 poems is a significant cost?
This is flat out wrong. If anything, via templates C++ has stronger type safety than Java does. Also, stack/heap smashing is orthogonal to type safety.
At least one of them is working in San Diego, a few others moved to the bay area. I'm not sure how the general market is for EEs in San Diego, although based on anecdotal experience it doesn't seem bad.
Not sure about EE in general, I did computer science at UCSD (California, USA) and everyone I knew had jobs lined up prior to graduating, generally with multiple offers. I only knew a couple of EE guys, but they were in similar situations (that is, they didn't have problems finding employment).
Syntactic sugar that has the added bonus of making code LESS readable in a lot of circumstances and have been added to solve problems created by using functors instead of just plain old function pointers.
It should be noted that lambdas are quite useful; in addition to being quite nice as syntactic sugar, they're also more easily optimized by the compiler than function pointers. C-styled pointers (e.g. those that can be aliased) are actually really hard to optimize well for a compiler. Lambdas don't have that problem. Also your equating of functors and function pointers is misguided, the two fill different (albeit overlapping) roles. Namely, functors can have state.
Well, in the Arts District of downtown there's graffiti on many buildings, and property prices there are climbing pretty steeply. And there has only been more graffiti since it started gentrifying. That said, I wasn't referring to property prices so much as the quality of life. There is true artistic merit to some of the graffiti, and I feel that it enriches the area as it's introducing interesting images to otherwise barren areas. Note that I'm not referring to the kind of tagging you see on freeway overpasses, but actual images. I'm not the only one here who feels this way either. See sites like this
vandalism? So you think some kid doing graffiti should get a harsher penalty? I live in downtown LA and much of the graffiti here is quite artistic and adds value to its surroundings. I can agree with you that white collar crime should carry harsher penalties, but vandalism? Really?
Write unit tests for the code and develop a regression test suite for it. This in itself can help you understand what's going on, but then also when you later start re-factoring or changing the code, you can be sure you're not breaking other parts of the code in subtle ways (or at least if you do break it, you'll know sooner than later). This will also help anyone else who might contribute to the project. Your mileage will vary depending on the size of the code base of course.

...are on par with Barack Obama, which is to say non-existent.
But at least they're better than Yasser Arafat or Le Duc Tho.
... but still better than say, Henry Kissinger?

I hate to be picky
I somehow find that doubtful

C++ does not enforce type safety at all.
This is flat out wrong. If anything, via templates C++ has stronger type safety than Java does. Also, stack/heap smashing is orthogonal to type safety.
I can't remember if they had a minimum of 1 penny or not
There was no minimum.

Sounds like Valgrind
As a minor correction, GCC (as of 4.8.1, see here) and Clang both have complete C++11 support
Assuming you're being serious, the joke is that they're going to introduce a lot of bugs, then get payed to fix them.
