A new algorithm creates 3D models using standard video footage from one angle. The system has three stages. First, it analyzes a video a few seconds long of someone moving -- preferably turning 360-degree to show all sides
Tetrachromacy in humans is very rare (the genes for it may not be, but actually functioning tetrachromacy is), and not at all relevant to the focus of the article.
Why are the images in the article of such poor quality?
How good do they need to be? I can see a puffin, and I can see the glowing stripes on its beak. Maybe the guy only had his phone on him, but that's more than enough to demonstrate the effect.
Or possibly it's one of those weird javascript replacement things and you're not actually seeing the full res images. I dunno.
People should bear this in mind even when they've got a pavement to walk on. I always move to go on the outside if I'm passing someone on foot and facing the traffic, but there's no end of numpties who'll do the same going the other way, and then have to check over their shoulder to see what's coming.
They are not. Firstly because even if they do do everything right there's no accounting for everyone else on the road, and secondly because a significant proportion of them are absolute bloody idiots, and I say that as an avid cyclist.
And 78 percent of respondents said that the current generation entering the work force -- those that grew up playing video games -- are stronger candidates for cybersecurity roles.
Firstly, what respondents say isn't necessarily the objective truth. Secondly, just who are they stronger than? It should be bleedin' obvious that just on average you'd expect gamers to be stronger candidates than the average person in the street, simply by dint of probably knowing a bit more about computers.
It's barely been two weeks. I don't think either party is doing themselves any favours by settling so quickly. The family might barely have had time to grieve, which could (or maybe it couldn't, IANAL) leave Uber open to having the original settlement discarded if they change their minds. It also just makes Uber look pretty shady that they just mumble some apologies and throw a ton of cash at the problem.
People are complaining that this private business is behaving in a way which is detrimental to the livelihood of their suppliers, and convenience of their customers.
Who says having erotic fiction lumped in with other books is convenient for customers?

That's not one angle, then, is it?
Or, to put it another way:
Reddit Continues To Protect Free Speech In Favor of Free Speech
If a science story in the Daily Mail isn't about how something either a) cures cancer or b) causes cancer, then most Daily Mail readers won't read it.
Puffin's colourful beaks are an outer layer which falls off after the breeding season.
Their jaws have a flexible hinge which allows them to carry more fish at once.

If you knew C notation you'd know this isn't it.
Still better than the NY Post article which translated it to "10Ã--139 years."
Slashdot's lack of unicode support strikes again. I'm guessing they used ×
I knew I was forgetting something even more obvious.
Dinosaur means "Terrible lizard", not "Terrible reptile"
Lizards are reptiles.
That paper predicts that the universe's lifetime would be between 10**88 and 10**241 years, but probably probably around 10**139 years.
Since when is "**" the way to write exponentiation on shitty systems that can't even handle an innocuous tag like <sup>, such as Slashdot?
Use a ^ like normal people. Or just let use <sup>. Jeez. It's bad enough that you still haven't got unicode, but <sup>? C'mon.
And yes, I know some programming languages use "**". This isn't a programming language, this is supposed to be a news site.
Pro tip: don't believe everything you read in Wikipedia.
Okay, how about "pretty much every dictionary definition of the word 'dinosaur' I could find"? Plus the guy who proposed the name in the first place.
Crocodiles are not decedents of dinosaurs - they are reptiles.
Eh?
Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles
You're right that they're not descendants of dinosaurs, but it's not because dinosaurs aren't reptiles.

I like the way the car beeps, the cyclist gets hit, then the car gives a double-beep as if to say "Told ya so."
Cyclists are safe
They are not. Firstly because even if they do do everything right there's no accounting for everyone else on the road, and secondly because a significant proportion of them are absolute bloody idiots, and I say that as an avid cyclist.
Oh, how amazingly insightful, thank you professor.

What? There's very clearly a missing word in that sentence. No amount of "context" stops it being an error.
About five or six ago, something changed
Five or six what ago? Releases? CEOs? Doctor Whos?
As long as everyone forgets how to spell Kodi by themselves, this'll work beautifully.

Finally, a sensible and measured comment.
Well, heaven forbid that a company wouldn't want to indiscriminantly bombard its customers with porn that they weren't looking for. What a world.
The lust-filled landlord ran his short, pudgy fingers over the porn star's rubbery, spheroid br-
Ugh, I just threw up a little. I quit.
