I've got the first generation Lytro. It was a nifty toy for a while, but ultimately I wasn't happy with the quality of most of the pictures. Except for in bright sunlight they were all pretty grainy and dark. The changing of the focus is neat on some where something is very close and others are very far, but if everything is middle distance to far, it's not interesting.
It was very hard to come up with good lightfield images that matched the demo ones on their website.
Maybe I should take it out again, take a break from walking around with my SLR for a weekend or two, see what I get.
Mt. St. Helens's 1980 eruption was the biggest thing I ever got in trouble for. Really...
Early in the morning, everyone was asleep and the house started shaking, and my father yelled from the other room "quit jumping on the bed!" and I yelled back "I'm not!" and the rumbling didn't stop, the blinds clattering against the windows and he yelled "Dammit! I said quit jumping on the bed right now!" and I yelled, "but I'm not!"...
I was in big trouble... They grounded me practically for life, for not stopping jumping on the bed and lying about that.
Fortunately later that evening we watched the news and I was vindicated... It really wasn't me.
Yup, I'm sure Ad Blockers can cause cancer. Just the other day I saw an ad "beat cancer with one weird trick" and followed it and paid and now I won't get cancer, but all those people who blocked the ad will!
No, they're adding quite a lot of communications infrastructure to many stations in Manhattan. It's all visible overhead, and they publish articles about which ones they've done so far and which ones are scheduled next.
1 Liter of any drinkable liquid weighs 1 kilogram. That's easy. How much pounds is that? And why the difference between liquid ounces and weigh ounces? Catastrophic!
Catastrophic is a bit of an overstatement... It's easy, an ounce of any drinkable liquid weighs an ounce... (for the same variations as your silly 1 liter weighs 1 kilogram things...)
In my teens and twenties I listened to a pretty diverse selection of music, just not much that was too popular, and not very loud. I mean, as a teenager still living in my parents' house my father would play on the computer in my bedroom and comment how he couldn't hear the music I as playing (which half the time was Venom or Slayer, that he hated anyway...)
But then in my thirties I lived in urban India, where the noise from outside my apartment was usually louder than I liked music, people yelling, maids sweeping the ground, cars honking, trucks revving engines, jackhammers, feral dogs barking, the fucking watchmen blowing whistles to call rickshaws up the street, and all that. And that's hurt my ears, so they're always ringing and now I can't hear a lot of subtleties in music unless it's played loud enough for the loud parts to cause pain. So I got to where I could only listen to rock music that didn't have too much range to the sound.
I only recently got a pair of good headphones and I'm rediscovering some parts of music again. Although a lot of the quieter bits are lost when I listen on the subway going home from work.
uses nearly two million lines of computer code.... The system almost doubles the number of flights that can be tracked and displayed to controllers
Nearly two million lines, and almost double the capacity... If they bumped it up to an even two million I wonder if they could've completely doubled the number of the flights that could be tracked.
And what if they expanded it to four million lines of code, could they have quadrupled the number of flights that could be tracked?
And what if they made the code self-replicating? Could they have support an infinite number of flights?
Me. I drink lots of New York City tap water... At my office in Brooklyn I only drink tap water, just go to the kitchen sink, let it run for a minute, then fill up my cup. Everyone else drinks the bottled water we get, but to me it tastes like a plastic bottle.
At home in Manhattan, I keep a few bottles of water in the fridge and refill them from the tap...
Actually, they consistently promise to eliminate pork. But if it's for their constituents, then it's not "pork" it's vital infrastructure and jobs. It's only pork if it's for a different strict represented by someone from the other party.

light value ... that was used when it was taken
This is why I use neutral density filters on my camera... I like to keep private details, like the aperture, private!

Do you want vengeance (against millions of people who didn't do anything), or do you want solutions?/quote?
So what should we do? Curse them so those involved are always stuck in traffic behind someone rolling coal?
...predictable conditions...
That assumes it's not a golf course that supports a high school golf team.
I guess I should check the TV listings to see if any channel is showing "The Day of the Triffids."
flown to some secret desert base
Flown to a secret base under the sea. I know, I know. Oh, oh, oh...
And 100 years from now, will anyone even remember this?
..to run on older Apple devices. You start out with 512 megs of RAM...
Yikes... Must be an age difference... When I think of "older Apple devices" I'm thinking of like 64 KB... And I know people with older ones still...
Crunch all you want, we'll make more. Sounds artificially intelligent.

The power to destroy an Iranian rubber dinghy is insignificant next to the power of the Force.
never making future predictions
Economists make never-ending future predictions. Maybe not accurate, but they do make lots and lots of future predictions.

Don't solar panels specifically not reflect light?
That could be why they're abandoned...
It must've been from a video tape from some of those Lambda Lambda Lambda nerds!
Maybe that's everybody in their office who's nuked some popcorn to generate the mystery in the first place.

IBM ... agile??? That sounds like an oxymoron
Who said elephants can't dance?

you can count on more of them
And you still don't have to watch any of them if you don't want...
