Well, also, if you're shooting 120 medium format film or even 4x5 or larger films...the depth of field and looks just aren't something you can readily get from digital sensors.

I guess if they actually started making medium format sized sensors (ie the size of MF film) or larger then it might work...but those would be insanely expensive.

If they wanted to make me happy....start selling 400ft spools again of their Vision3 35mm cinema film that I can respool to shoot stills with.

The new stuff they're releasing for motion pictures without the old remjet backing that had to be "washed off" before processing sounds exciting....and would make life easier for those developing at home with either C41 or ECN-2.

Hell, really make me happy and start selling a version of the Vision3 films in 120 medium format and PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY.

Data centers might end up looking like that empty mall you drive past, but at least they don't implicate you in a child rape gang including the US president.

Everyone else might want to think a little bit about their 401K allocation.

That's not why. Waymo is testing in Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn. NYC by the way has also recently legalized jaywalking.

The idea that machines don't / won't beat humans at continuous vigilance and precise movement doesn't make much sense to me, since machines are great at that. The safety issue already favors automation and the gap will only grow. (More specifically, safety already favors certain self-driving implementations, like Waymo... obviously in general, "automation" can also be total crap if done poorly).

I know we are only relatively early in the development and adoption of the technology, but I sure can't see any reason to doubt the outcome.

With everything going on with air traffic based issues since Trump started destroying the FAA and all other government agencies

What are you talking about ? If the Dems in the senate...as few as 5 of them would vote to pass the CLEAN Continuing Resolution, the govt would open and things would go to normal.....

This is the same CR that they have all voted on numerous times.....it isn't Trumps fault here, it's the Dems holding the US hostage here...

the ends do not justify the illegal and unconstitutional means.

Exactly what illegal and unconstitutional means do you propose are happening exactly?

Made me curious. Here's a graph of their headcount over time.

Right?

I've been saying this all along - why wait? They aren't getting any younger. Elon and Petey should gather up their most trusted minions and jet right off, the sooner the better.

Stop teasing, just fucking go Galt already. I promise to pretend to miss you if it'll help.

Firing people randomly has been sport there for decades.

For the general population yes. For Amazon's use probably not. Since Amazon paid for the whole thing, it might be easier/faster to connect directly from Amazon data enter in Maryland to Amazon data center in Ireland than to Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, or New England and then switch to another optical line for land based traversal.

I do not understand. Private companies have been laying undersea cables since Morse code was the default communications protocol. Your objection is over a hundred years too late. Second, while the summary does not detail what Amazon plans to do with the cable, the primary use will be to connect Amazon's internal systems first. The excess capacity might be leased. So this cable may not really connect to Europe at all for you or the general population.

The EV infrastructure does that now, so what exactly is your point?

Actually for most of the US this simply is NOT the case regarding EV infrastructure...

Yes...US centric nerds....

A battery for a small amount of power is not hard to make. A battery large enough to power a city overnight does not exist. The alternative is a very large bank of batteries. While working with hydrogen has problems, there is a great deal more experience with large scale hydrogen use like in refineries today.

The main obstacle I see is you need to build large banks of batteries. There would be less infrastructure involved with storing a large amount of gas. Also this plan retrofits an existing gas turbine so it is being repurposed.
