Higher megapixel count has a big advantage in computer post-processing. Trying to sharpen a region only 3 pixels wide is futile, but get a camera with 4X the pixels and the width is now 6 pixels. This gives the math routines something to work with.
As resolution gets higher, it becomes increasingly difficult to modulate a CRT's electron beams fast enough. 1 / (3840 x 2160 x 60 Hz) = 2 nanoseconds to get the control voltage to settle to 0.4%. Even if it's possible, it's not easy and cheap.
Any time you try to match a reflective medium like your McDonald's box to an emissive medium like a monitor, you are dependent on the ambient lighting. If your room lighting isn't matched to your monitor's color setting, and your room isn't all white, grey, and black, you're doing it wrong.
Gamut on LCDs varies some, and if you want wide gamut you have to shell out for a "professional" monitor. Modern top quality LCDs cover all of the Adobe 1998 gamut. Alas, I haven't been able to find a recent technical gamut comparison between CRTs and LCDs.
CRTs age and fall out of alignment much more rapidly than LCDs. If you calibrated your CRT a year ago, it's not the same now. The filaments weaken, phosphors age, and x-rays darken the glass.
CRTs have geometry problems that are intractable. A large flatscreen CRT has glass so thick that parallax is a problem: try measuring something on a CRT's screen with a ruler.
Many authors wrote their novels episodically for newspaper or magazine printing, not just SF authors. Charles Dickens comes to mind, and it's evident in the extremely boring, dragged out nature of his work.
Paperbacks, being the form of affordable literature, lead to an explosion of all types of books as a richer populace met declining book prices. "Barely existed" properly refers to all forms of the written word, not just science fiction.
Thomas Jefferson drove himself nearly to bankruptcy, and a significant portion of his expenses was the continuing purchase of just a few thousand books. Cheap matters.
Capitalism is based on the freedom to act in your rational self interest. All other systems rely on forcing people to act against their best interests. Is that what you support, bullying others to do what you want them to do? Be warned, Mr. Anonymous Coward, if you're not the strongest or meanest guy out there, you'll be the one choosing between hurting yourself and having someone else hurt you.
Your pessimism has the same value as the thoughts of those who claimed, with equal justification, that traveling faster than 50 mph would be fatal.
The arguments for the survival of mankind in the face of a meteoric extinction event have been made many times, and no amount of solving problems on earth will save humanity from such a disaster. The same argument applies to colonizing other star systems.
Go ahead, perfect your little mud puddle. Other people will build the future without you.
The socialization available in public schools includes being introduced to criminal gangs, attacked by bullies, and contact with mind-degrading drug providers. Kids should be taught to recognize thugs and charlatans before having to interact with them.
I don't think that KMart was in particularly good financial shape when it bought out Sears in 2005. It managed, but I think it was doomed from the start. The current CEO is Eddie Lampert, much beloved of the leftist Jim Cramer. Lampert had most of his experience in Wall Street management, and like all to many high executives he thought that being skilled at management was more important than being skilled at managing something in particular. He has been proven wrong on a continuing basis.
There have been more studies on the effects of vitamins than most people could read in a decade, maybe a lifetime. There are many things to test them for, and to expect that every possible dosage has been tested against every possible disease, interaction, and side effect is unreasonable.
Christie's core demographic is people who like loudmouthed big-government types that manage some semblance of not being wasteful. If it weren't that so many politicians are even worse, libertarians wouldn't vote for him.
I've read (don't know if it's true) that the link between aluminum and Alzheimer's is due to a defective experiment in which aluminum in a sample support contaminated spectrograph results.
Yes. You shouldn't feed a child poison or toxic waste. I'm hopeful you can see the reasoning behind this
Your answer is not responsive to the question. Not being poisonous and being on an approved list of foods are nowhere near being the same thing.
There have been many cases within the last year where government schools have insisted that students eat provided foods, and other cases where parent-provided has been seized.
I for one would much rather live in a society were kids get taken away from superstitious and paranoid parents than one where kids have to die because their parents (or someone else's parents) are scientifically illiterate.
Well, kinda. Some states require a child be taught by a credentialed teacher, and of those some are quite hostile to home schooling and make credentials hard to get. One point is there's a lot of dishonesty here, and another is TANJ.
Deconvolution is a tricky game. For one thing, as you mentioned, the deconvolution matrix varies across the frame, and for another, it often must be much larger than the related convolution matrix (PSF). It is often ill-conditioned (effectively, that means there's a number close to zero in the denominator), and it always magnifies noise. If there are saturated regions in the image, they can't be handled properly.
Deconvolution and other postprocessing can improve images, but turning a grey mess into a beautiful full color photo is something that can usually be done only under tightly controlled conditions. All too often, there's something screwy in the results.

The Concorde was an economic failure. Being able to do something doesn't make it the right thing to do.

Of course they deserve to make a risk assessment, furthermore they should. They just don't always have the right to act on their assessment.

Aluminum is not a heavy metal.

Logical fallacy; false alternative.
Hitting, "beating up", and "proper punishment" are not the same thing.
You imply that government funding is necessary to develop vaccines. That is simply not true.

The "living room on wheels" concept died 50 years ago.
Modern engines have rev limiters.
The Mazda Miata (1989) had an exhaust system carefully designed to sound like a cheap 1960s English sports car.
It's another example of things being faked to emulate what people are used to.
Tires rolling on pavement make noise. There's no reason to add to it.
"Power" includes economy of expression. If 5 lines of language A requires 500 lines in language B, language A is more powerful.
"Power" includes things like directly accessing hardware.
