RE: "I used to work for Tesla…"
@Benjamin-Hall said in "I used to work for Tesla…":
@Polygeekery And probably all that data is still available on their servers, just waiting for someone to crawl in and slurp it up. Linking it to people is trivial, since you have their entire driving history for a long time.
There's no way to tie it to an individual; it could be any Tesla owner who happens to park his car at 27 Shady Oak Drive every night.

RE: "Hacking" Teenager in trouble - for downloading public documents
@ben_lubar said in "Hacking" Teenager in trouble - for downloading public documents:
Or to scan your unlocked car for later 3D printing?
That sounds suspiciously like downloading a car, an act so heinous that even DVD pirates wouldn't do it.

RE: OOP is TRWTF
Some might disagree with me, but the truth is that modern OOP has never been properly designed. It never came out of a proper research institution (in contrast with Haskell/FP). I do not consider Xerox or another enterprise to be a “proper research institution”. OOP doesn’t have decades of rigorous scientific research to back it up. Lambda calculus offers a complete theoretical foundation for Functional Programming. OOP has nothing to match that. OOP mainly “just happened”.
An organic development that wasn't "properly designed" at a research institute? *drops monocle in shock*

RE: Random thought of the day
@da-Doctah said in Random thought of the day:
Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse have the same last name.
While it's certainly possible for this to be the case even without them actually being related, you'd expect them to have a quick explanation worked out to offer anyone who assumes them to be engaging in an incestuous relationship.
In Tony Toon Adventures, whenever Buster and Babs (Bunny, both) introduced themselves together they would quickly point out "no relation"

RE: Is it a duck or a rabbit?
@dkf I've got a high-ish DPI laptop screen and I see the same effect as on my usual 1080p 23'' monitor, with the same intensity differences between the normal/blurred/colour-reduced versions across all screens

RE: Is it a duck or a rabbit?
@remi I'm more fascinated by it after my experimentation. To my eyes, the reduced colour version has a weaker effect than the original, despite theoretically still having plenty of colour space for what's in the picture. The blurred version on the other hand has a stronger effect to me, but examining the reddest-looking pixels of that reveals that they are completely gray - RGB values equal. The only deviation anywhere in the can is in the other direction - lower R, from the cyan and black.

RE: Is it a duck or a rabbit?
I also tried gradually decreasing the colour depth - from the original image to 16 bit, then 8 bit, then 4 bit (16 colours)

RE: Is it a duck or a rabbit?
I tried playing around with it in Irfanview:
Just blurring a bunch
Colour adjust -> white balanced by clicking on the end of the "C" swoosh
I don't know if that tells us anything about the original image. The hand looks more coloured in the white balanced version, but so does the crosswalk

RE: Is it a duck or a rabbit?
@hungrier Maybe the original image before the noisification was filtered to black and white with only the can red to produce exactly this effect

RE: Is it a duck or a rabbit?
@ixvedeusi said in Is it a duck or a rabbit?:
@hungrier It would. The effect that turns the can red is essentially the eye's internal automatic white balance adjustment.
I know that's part of it, but if it was just that I would expect e.g. the hand to have a similar effect of having some red. To me the rest of the image looks like a uniform black-and-white image with a cyan cast. Maybe there's something particular about the noise pattern in the can that's different from the rest of it
