Camera tech on a phone is automated post-processing. Nothing else.

Sure, a camera is a specialized tool doing a limited set of functions. It does not need the vast majority of functions Android offers: phone, 5g, internet, app stores... No nerd fo…

What software exactly are modern DSLRs or mirrorless cameras missing? I know, picking at software is a favorite past time on HN, but most of the time it is missing the point. Examp…

My Pixel takes reasonably good images, even printed some in A4, at A3 they suffer. That is for the camera generated JPEGs, the RAW files are all but unusable. It shows that smartph…

If I want a camera running a smartphone OS, I use a phone. A camera should be by definition running on dedicated camera firmware, and nothing else.

True that. One thing that does work are targeted embargoes, if you do not want certain tech to spread to far and wide. General sanctions so, well, trickey isn't it?

Also called sanctions (we do those all the time, and it is usually only the poor suffering the most) or the morally superior prime directive. Sanctions can be necessary, and useful…

True on so many levels, and most of the time ignored.

Well, what Lilium is flying is a demonstrator , not a prototype. The difference is that a prototype is close to the final product and test flights can be used in the early phases o…

That depends on tge terms of service and the jurisdiction you are based in. And whether or not you want to go to court over it or not. IANAL, but I am fairly certain terms of servi…

Nah, China already sealed of their internet as did Russia and to a degree India. If we have, in the end, a dead US-centric internet, well, as soon as people start ignoring that it …

On that we agree, and I am happy for it.

A) Copyright laws exist for a reason, even big tech should respect them (considering their utter disregard for anything but money, well...) B) Especially Meta knows aleeady too muc…

I'd very much prefer my privacy to be respected universally. One has to note so, that there is a very significant difference between a democratic government having rules in place t…

Doesn't make him a failure so, does it? And considering how little social.places like the US have, wel... Are you sure things a different today?

This business professor, selling his books on leadership in a Ted x (!) talk lost me when he called Amundson "forgotten". Like hell, no, Amundson is not at all forgotten. And Shack…

Kind sad sad how we have the tendency to equal success with wealth. There are way more ways to be successful than money, or fame (and hey Shackleton is one of the big four arctic /…

Tell that you uave no idea how electricity grids work and why a connected one across a whole region is better than isolated ones without tellong you know shit about that topic...

You'd be surprised who stopped Nordstream 2. And who pushed it for almost a decade.

FAX is still a leaglly accepted way to send official papers, e.g. to courts. As is paper mail. True. One can so easily set-up a company without it so. 90% of what you read about co…

For everything genetic, biology and evolution related, I'd rather prefer psychologists to shut up. Unless the publish together with researchers in those fields. If they don't, it r…

At best, that would be some sort cartel, multiple really. Which is quite different from a monopoly, which again is something from dominant market power...

Interesting, what's the difference?

There are rules about how airlines compensate for lost luggage. International ones, no admission of guilt involved. People tend to ignore just how rare, in percentage, and how ofte…
