Because, while it is a landmark achievement, it has little relevance to which people have access to health care, which people are confined to cages their entire lives, or which peo…

Yup. It also: - Is a signal that the driver intends to turn. Drivers should also be using their actual turn signals, of course, but as a cyclist I would much rather have a driver w…

You might check out Mitsuba ( http://www.mitsuba-renderer.org/ ) and LuxRender ( http://www.luxrender.net/ ). Both are more modern open-source renderers with Python APIs, and I kno…

In any case, running global illumination often causes a major increase in rendering time. So it's understandable that Pixar, which has to render a huge number of frames at huge res…

Secord et al. also did a perceptual study in which they determined which features were most correlated with user viewpoint preference and built models for viewpoint preference base…

What would worry me is that I don't understand what Facebook really wants out of this acquisition, and why this will motivate it to do right by Parse users. It looks to me like a n…

What the hell? I clicked through and I have no idea why you are so disgusted. As far as I can tell: * This is on a site for expatriate women in Japan. * This page belongs to their …

If you sympathize with the author: do not post things like this. Listen to him. What makes you think you were the intended audience? What makes you think you know why he was writin…

Don't fault people who have to put up with this shit, day in and day out, for not having limitless reserves of patience. His job isn't Racism Educator, so why should he have to act…

It looks to me like the robot just exhibits less motion in general. This might be because (as far as I can tell) the authors optimize only to match a set of static poses, not for p…

Better than Apple can without Google? Maybe. Better than the existing Maps app? I use transit directions in Maps a lot and the transit apps I've downloaded very rarely. I'm skeptic…

No, but your page still makes me play "hunt the noisy tab", and then, if I decide I want to watch the video, requires me to pause my own music to listen to your loop. I don't objec…

That's not really something I would want to try. Omitting references can lead to accusations that you are trying to claim as your own novel contributions things that others have al…

I thought it was a little odd that he says the proper way to solve the problem is to have a higher-res screen, just before he says that we can't do super-sampling because it's too …

It's a nice interface, but I'm a little confused about your column adjacency cost function. In particular, why sum only the bottom quartile of pixel distances to get column costs?

advantage leads to more enjoyment, which leads to more practice...etc I actually agree with you here. This is why I think things like sexist/marginalizing presentations at conferen…

Do you think there is some huge pool of people good enough for YC who just don't get in? Yes, I believe that there are probably more than 300 people in the United States who could …

The lengths to which this article goes to construct a model sympathetic to the author's views are incredible. It takes data showing a greater variance among males than females: - i…

Have you seen this paper: http://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/crowd-flows/ ? It touches on many of the same issues.

What problem are you trying to fix? If I'm offline, what good is being able to see my article list if I can't read the articles? If I'm online, why do I feel any less irritated whe…

As best I can tell, cyclist's opinions of me as a driver tend to be directly correlated to how far into my lane they ride. If there are parked cars, you have to move into the lane …

I think you're confusing the extent of what is possible in your current type systems with what is theoretically possible with types. Why can't a type system keep track of units? Wh…
