and at a time nobody even did care for aerodynamics of a cars underbelly [its ventro-basal anatomy, so to speak] Chapman aimed to optimize on a level known only from constructing air-planes. shark-skin'ish foils, if not mistaken, they too were among the first testing on racing cars
but the commenting serves it purpose, one does hope
even more so does what some assume to be 'voting' [like/dislike]
not sure how to measure tho how many shooting massacres it prevents.
former mentor of our at Lond Inst of Psychiatry certainly would have designed a field study of it, if he'd been introduced to the nets, social nets in particular
>the visual pathway does some math to reinterpret RGB as a closed circle of hues we see in our visual field<
sort of, computation of 'contrast' so to speak, or, in broad terms, differences in wavelengths
most likely done, foremost and in essence, in area V4, cortically. if damaged, cerebral achromatopsia [colour blindness results]. patients won't even see/perceive induced 'coloured' visual phenomena, such as phosphenes [Farady made a few quid by electro-shocking ppl, for instance in Jardin des Tuileries, Paris : electro-magnetc impulses applied transcranially to the occipital part of the brain can elicit, in some subjects, brief bright colourfull light sensations]
u must have missed reading this : ".. Microsoft or Google: both seem responsive and eager to fix within 90 days (mostly) .."
but then u not need to read it. and who would given all the exquisite experiences with M$ and/or Goo compared to nightmares Apple delivers to u, overpriced, ofc
in a sense it is good reading tho after all in that it indicates that exactly those are not the one's one does meet in Apple-communities
quite right
and this is HN. and one may well wonder in how far FB does NOT seriously interfer with discussions here [and elsewhere, ofc too, for that matter]
Are you implying that Facebook moderates discussions here? I believe @dang is employed directly by YCombinator and is independent of any other tech company.
As for commenting, I can’t speak for other Facebook employees but I made it a point to never comment on Facebook related discussions while I was still employed there. Frankly I didn’t see the point. Most threads would get so vitriolic and emotional that there wasn’t any space to have a discussion. There would be people spouting conspiracy theories like “Facebook controls discussions on HN”. No real point in engaging in such discussions, I figured.
Comments that tend to be critical of Facebook tend to get downvotes, at least early on in the discussion; it's hard not to suspect something may be going on
From the guidelines link at the bottom of the page:
"Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and we'll look at the data."
and that 'kill' fo 'the competition' in essence is what it's all about. no matter what's obvious or not, seems likely or not -- given FB's history, Zuckerboi's history ..
