So, they’re videos.

If only there was a way to watch those.

You can keep hand waving away the statement of fact that lower precision input is lower precision input.

And yes, for actual photography (where people are deliberately still for long enough to offset the longer exposure required), you do actually need different lighting and different camera settings to get the same quality results. But real cameras are also capable of capturing far more dynamic range without guessing heavily on postprocessing.

It’s not racist to understand physics.

It’s exactly the same reason phone cameras do terrible in low light unless they do obscenely long exposures (which can’t resolve detail in anything moving). The information is not captured at sufficient resolution.

For any scenario short of studio lighting, there is objectively much less information.

You’re also dramatically underestimating how truly fucking awful phone camera sensors actually are without the crazy amount of processing phones do to make them functional.

Facial recognition works better on white people because, mathematically, they provide more information in real world camera use cases.

Darker skin reflects less light and dark contrast is much more difficult for cameras to capture unless you have significantly higher end equipment.

You just don’t understand basic physics if you think there are other sports that aren’t actual combat sports that are remotely comparable in impact to football. Rugby doesn’t have comparable high speed impacts on a regular basis.

In terms of the strategy, very few sports have the discrete, precise play calling strategy that football does. Every sport has small picture tactics and broad strokes strategy. Football still has the small picture rule based decisions that are the bread and butter of most sports. But they’re unique to each individual play call, change 70 times per game, and are completely different from week to week.

Sports are different.

If you ask someone to box at a world class level once a week for 4 months, the best case scenario is severe and permanent brain damage. The most likely outcome is that they literally die.

This is a clearly idiotic hate boner for football from someone who doesn’t even have a rudimentary understanding of it.

Go away.

No, it means football is incredibly physically and mentally demanding and it’s literally impossible to recover and implement a gameplan in less than the week.

There’s a reason there has never once in the history of the sport been high quality execution on a non-opener Thursday night game or a single international game. The entire schedule of a full week is necessary to play anything resembling NFL football, which is already heavily compromised by the obscene limitations on practice time.

No one cares about home games.

It’s a dogshit excuse for football because it makes it impossible for teams to be physically or mentally prepared. It completely destroys the competitive balance of the sport. Single broken games are a huge deal in a short season.

Reacher is so much better than Tom Cruise’s tiny Reacher.

Ebooks.

It’s still probably not close to enough for my ebooks, but at least it makes a dent. Even terrible quality video adds up fast.

1 international game per year is too many.

It’s a fundamentally broken setup, just like TNF.

International games are trash and completely undermine the competitive integrity of the sport.

There’s also a huge amount of bad will.

VR/AR are still (yes, even years later) in the tech enthusiast niche, because the actual tech is hard. But a sizable chunk of tech enthusiasts know enough to hate Facebook, hate them specifically in VR because of how they handled their purchase of Oculus, or both.

The pandemic was very clearly the initiator.

Being conservative about forcing people back (because most have wanted people back long before now) doesn’t change anything legally. You were hired for an in person job, they were forced to have you work from home by actual government orders, and they moved slowly on forcing you back because it was an extended period of time where there was an actual meaningful health risk to a big enough portion of employees.

They’re a good actual mechanism for spyware, because they see all your traffic.

Https means that they can’t see the actual contents without installing a root certificate, but they can see all the sites you visit and for how long. Reputable providers (at least the good ones) do not log any of this, but you should have a high level of trust in a provider to use their VPN, because they see a lot still.

That doesn’t mean that they didn’t ban legit VPNs. I don’t know. But it doesn’t really qualify as “reporting news” without at least a list of the apps that were banned, because they’re providing no information at all about the legitimacy of the apps, and it’s a category appealing to bad actors.

Like I said, I’m all for it. And I think the current state is definitely too much wasted edible food.

But I think they should also focus on requiring labeling that gives some standardized indicators of spoilage relevant to that specific food.

Most packaged stuff like chips is so full of preservatives it’s pretty unlikely to be unsafe without clear visual indications.

I’m all for clearer labeling, but those dates are still inherently guesses.

This is stupid as hell.
