So what? The suggestion in the article is that the era of dslr is on its way out to be replaced by (i)phones, this guy says the camera software is getting really good. I say that's great for snapping your kids or your dinner but it's not a replacement (not that op is suggesting it is). People aren't doing it the professional way though are they? They're just getting professionalish results in certain settings. Which again is great but limited.
Article says "the end of the DSLR for most people" (emphasis mine), and I'd say they're exactly right.
If this technique arrives to lower-end phones, the people who buys a DSLR for family photos and lacks the skills to use it properly will now be better served by a camera phone that provides results equivalent to a DSLR on automatic.
For most people sure, but the thing is, most the people it will be replacing the dslr for never owned a dslr to begin with.
He did and my line was more directed at TFA than himself. Probably could've put that across better. You're right though, the best camera is the one you have and with your phone you're mostly taking relatively close up anyway and the better that can be then the better it is.
You say you are a photographer though, would you consider replacing your camera with an iphone for any kind of significant work? Thought not.
So what? The point in GP's post is that this technique has been made point-and-click, and therefore now available to people without the knowledge or equipment to do it the professional way.

You guys aren't giving Apple enough credit. And before you accuse me of shilling, let me say I don't own any Apple products -- not one. I have a Google Pixel and love it. It does have a great camera. But I'm also a photographer, and what Apple has done is significant.
They brought "depth of field" to small-sensor photography, and that is no easy task. "Depth of field" is what gives you that effect of a foreground in focus and a blurry background (or vice versa, like in some movie transitions). Normally, to get that shallow a depth of field, you'll need a combination of 1) a big sensor and 2) a big lens and 3) ample ambient lighting so you can shoot with the big lens's aperture wide-open. Apple managed to make it work without any of those three things.
That's all so well and so good, especially if you're just snapping your kids right in front of you, it gives nice results, no arguments. You say you are a photographer though, would you consider replacing your camera with an iphone for any kind of significant work? Thought not.
Buy a camera. If your iphone camera is so great let's see it zoom without losing resolution, or focus some place else. Thought so. Those photos look just like photos from anything. You can tweek them with software all you like but it's essentially a filter. Your iPhone camera is just as limited as any other smart phone camera and showing off glowy pics of your kids isn't going to change that.
Muslims literally have temples, you fucking imbecile. He even lower-cased the "t" for you.
As for bigotry... Facts aren't bigoted. Facts aren't racist. Facts are facts. That you scream down the messenger doesn't make the message suddenly untrue, but it does make the rest of us wonder what it is you're trying to hide.
The only person displaying ignorance here is you.
What fact though? That muslims are a majority now or ever? Because that's not a fact.
The Patent Office reviewed HP's application for years without ever considering any real-world products. Indeed, the examiner considered only patents and patent applications.
Ah, but USPTO switched over from first-to-invent to first-to-file, so now prior art is completely moot and anything, no matter how obvious, can be patented.
Well then, file a patent on filing patents then sue the patent office into oblivion.
(6) You think that someone else should provide your healthcare at no cost to you.
6 is great. It's called national health care (example, the UK's NHS) and it's not exactly at no cost when you consider national insurance/tax, plus think of all that money that could go toward actual health care for those that need it rather than get gobbled up by insurance companies and padding bottom lines. Of course if you think that those without money are worthless then you can go a fuck yourself.
HAHA I love the gentle shuffling and hands behind the back, it just seems so...polite. Then when that one kept falling over trying to stand up! Man, I haven't been that entertained watching a game of football in a long while.
So where's the bit that says about "private appropriation by claim of whatever". You can't just be declared a nation by others so they can nuke you and if they do then you're not a party to this treaty so what then?
I have it on good authority that Strong Badia (Population: Tire) has already claimed the vast fortunes of space. Luxembourg should have acted faster but you know, I overheard some protesters chanting "Free Tibet!" so maybe they should call China and claim it before someone else.;)
Too late, I already nabbed it but you don't want any part in that mess, that's why I'm trying to get rid again but no takers.
Why do these little shitty European countries think they matter? They have no military worth mentioning. They don't have a space program and they don't have the power to enforce any of these laws. In fact, their entire existence relies on us. If we ever come into hard times we can take everything they have and there's absolutely nothing they can do to stop us.
George Bush Jr. is considered a war criminal in most of Europe and yet he can still walk around Europe freely because you pussies know you can't fuck with us.
"They don't give companies ownership of asteroids, after all, only the minerals they extract.."
The treaty:
"outer space is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means OF USE or occupation, or BY ANY OTHER means;"
Space mining is illegal under the treaty we/they signed up to, if you don't like it, negotiate a new treaty.
I'm sorry, what part of what you posted says mining is illegal under the treaty? If it says that specifically some where else then post that bit. Nothing about that bit you pulled out even says that SpaceRockCo can't land on any asteroid, or body for that matter and say "this is ours, fuck off, we're not a nation"
Sweet, so now all you need to do it make a way to get to the asteroids, make a way to extract materials, make a way to process the materials, make a way to store and transport the materials and then either get them back on earth or build a whole load of facilities in orbit all while having aerosmith playing on repeat.
Kids are expensive. Ultra expensive if you give them a chance to go to college. They are a major drain on finances. Like it or. Ot their own decisions have put them in the situation.
My wife and I make 300k combined in Atlanta. We are talking about 1 kid. Figuring out how we will budget for daycare, college, food, clothes, etc. plus any life emergencies and our retirement. Three kids would not only break us but be unfair to them.
So other than time travel what do you expect can be done about the number of kids?
Slashdot Mirror
If you attach an external lens to it or get one of very few models that have it yeah. Why, are iPhones claiming to have that too now?

And so brave.
digital cameras dont have shutters
DSLR's kinda do in that they lift the reflector to let the light hit the sensor. But no, it's not really a shutter.
Buy a camera. If your iphone camera is so great let's see it zoom without losing resolution, or focus some place else. Thought so. Those photos look just like photos from anything.

Or people start leaving GB at an exponential rate.
And go where?
EU? that door's been shut
US? fuck that
Russia? not likely
Australia/NZ? possible but probably not
Middle east? haha good one.
Africa? see middle east
About the best bet is probably China but we really don't like learning other languages, especially ones as different as Chinese.

They're projected to be the majority in GB now within 10 years. The whole point of leaving the EU and it didn't work.
Projected by who?
Ah, but USPTO switched over from first-to-invent to first-to-file, so now prior art is completely moot and anything, no matter how obvious, can be patented.

Stunning might be a little bit of an exaggeration.

(hopefully that is the right match)
HAHA I love the gentle shuffling and hands behind the back, it just seems so...polite. Then when that one kept falling over trying to stand up! Man, I haven't been that entertained watching a game of football in a long while.
Ah, yes, "Cricket," where no bugs are used.
What exactly is it you think the wickets are made from? It's not wood ;)
now is this soccer football or football football? because football is full of stupid animals.
It's soccer football, as in the game you play with a ball and your feet rather than football football which you play with your hands and an oval.
"national appropriation by claim of sovereignty"
So where's the bit that says about "private appropriation by claim of whatever". You can't just be declared a nation by others so they can nuke you and if they do then you're not a party to this treaty so what then?
cold fusion?

If our economy tanks our massive military is coming over there to take your resources and use you as slaves.
Oh no, more broke immigrants heading to Europe's shores? Just what we need.
Why do these little shitty European countries think they matter? They have no military worth mentioning. They don't have a space program and they don't have the power to enforce any of these laws. In fact, their entire existence relies on us. If we ever come into hard times we can take everything they have and there's absolutely nothing they can do to stop us.

That's why the EU is a thing.
