The foreground moves out of camera shot faster than the background indicating the camera is getting nearer. Zoom makes the foreground and background bigger by the same rate.
1:15ish, the drone flys quickly into the action as the baby bear nears the top shortening the distance by at least half if not 3/4 in a couple of seconds. It seems clear to me that the mother can see the drone coming at them at speed. She looks repeatedly at the camera to her baby and back again. As the drone gets quite close she swipes at her baby to get it out the path of an unknown danger.
Lets look at some numbers. If it was very far away as you think then that's what? 300m? And lets be conservative with my figures and say it traveled 2/3rds of the distance in 3 seconds then that's 237kph or 147mph. That's unrealistic. The top speed of an average drone is around 50mph. At that speed it would have been 100m out and traveled 66m in 3 seconds.
But that's top speed, lets say it was moving at 20mph, that puts it 40m out and zooming in to around 13meters.
So, something you don't understand making a loud buzzing coming at you. Remember because of the doppler effect, the noise will increase in volume and pitch as it gets closer. Which would you prefer? 50mph and stopping 33meters/yards from the most precious person in your life in a dangerous situation or coming at you at 20 mph and pulling up around 13meters/yards?
This kind of corporate jargon gets right up my nose. She didn't reach out to google, she contacted them. Reached out is such an over emotively laden phrase for "Emailed" or "Phoned" or "Visited reception and was escorted out the building".
I've never had problems accessing porn but have had problems accessing some media without having to find work arounds.
Don't know of this porn block by law my ISP has that you talk about. There's a setting or check box I had to select to opt in if I recall correctly but then most ISP's used to have "family" filters you could opt into anyway. It's a minor difference in practice and I still get the same ol' filth down my tubes.
Sounds like it's similar in action to Deep Brain Stimulation but without the radical invasive surgery. I don't mean to belittle Zhang's achievement here but DBS has been around for 30 years, I'm a bit surprised it's taken someone this long to make this leap.
human behavior is
driven by the desire for power or sex
Nonsense. Most human beings are driven by a desire to protect their families
Wow, projecting much?
Sometimes the models of humanity we hold are the overgeneralization of our own reflection. When it's ourselves we are looking at we can fail to see the reality of the other.
Personally I think humans are driven by the need to get a +5 insightful or funny.
Genetically more diverse more like. Genes can only be poor (provide a disadvantage) in context. When society selects for genes that nature would normally select out then those gene confer an advantage. Who knows, when the zombie apocalypse comes, the "defect" you have might end up saving the human race.
I'd argue that it is more creepy and/or unethical because it's not just advertising is it? It's a biased communication pushing a moral agenda, more commonly called propaganda.
Also ironically I can't get this to install at all on my laptop. I've specifically disabled upgrading on the other machines in the house 'cus do.not.want. But I picked an older, mostly unused laptop and had a go at installing it on that for shits and giggles and because anything the MS is that crazy insistent about is worth sandboxing and disecting. The install failed and ended up reverting the Win7 OS to a pre-activated state. Twice.
Up to now I've been very happy with my business model of obtaining Windows free. I downloaded my warez and dodgy volume license and gave the man the finger. Now they've reversed that model it's all a bit Soviet Russia downloading me. I can has finger?
I deleted my account and came back a year later with a new one. Obviously my list of friends and interests haven't substantially changed but, based on how hard it was to link back up with some friends, facebook doesn't seem to have tied the two accounts together. Which suprised me on the one hand but it's nice to know they haven't thought of or managed to impliment that feature yet.
It probably helps that I also have good security/privacy habits.

Seems unlikely.
Sitting at a desk all day has a negative impact on your health that exercise doesn't mitigate.
Roller coasters and kidney stones.
No! It's Gold! No, white.... doh!

Wait...What? Married couples have sex?

Yeah but a lawsuit? Obvs I've not read tfa but I'd suggest starting with making a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority
Give me $5 and I'll take "CoyboyNeal"
...143 slide Powerpoint
Intriguing. Do you have a newsletter I can subscribe to?
And I can think of few party games less fun than "give the remote to the slowest thinker".
We tried this game and now we have to leave Europe. Worst party eva, don't recommend it.

Hijabagram?
Imagine the latency.
...it's running like a dog. I wonder if it's a good old fashioned slashdotting. Haven't seen one of them a round here for some time.
Dude! You needed a life coach to teach you to whiz on your hands? Man I learnt that stuff at school.
I wonder if /. still has enough clout to get whipslash in as project lead at Mozilla?
