Haven't they been saying this exact thing for at least 20 years now? Stem cell diabetes research seems to be the fusion power of biotech - continuously ten years away.

Which CGM is that? I haven't heard anything about that for the Freestyle Libre 2 or the Dexcomm G6 - which seem to be the most popular. In the UK the CamAPS FX system is already licensed to run the hybrid loop system from a phone app, rather than from the pump.

Take a gap year and do what? Join the unemployment queue along with how many million? Or don't take a flight anywhere because all of the borders are closed?

Whilst any sort of donation to fight Climate Change is great, I'm just wondering how much of that could have been taxes that Amazon avoided paying? I also don't see them closing down their AWS Oil and Gas services any time soon https://aws.amazon.com/oil-and...

Definitely agree. An added advantage is that there are many photo backup apps which work great, and often for free. For example Google Photos is great (although kind of scary when you can search within your images without tagging anything). I am not sure what the iPhone options are as I have never owned one, but the camera quality generally seems better (than Samsung anyway) and there are more photo accessories if you are into that. My family photo album is basically Facebook now (great for showing off to grandparents), and backed up to Google Photos.

The analogy expressed in the article isn't procedural versus OOP - which the author completely misses the point over. The analogy is serial versus parallel computing. In the first case each student is dealt with individually in order, in the second case the principal is a despatcher and each student is an independent process. So the analogy does hold. It has nothing to do with objects or not.

Or Blake's 7

Kodak was also fundamental in creating the world's first Digital Imaging system for movie effects, colour management. The Cineon system included film scanners and recorders, the Cineon compositing application and the Cineon file format (10 bit log). Only the file format effectively remains as Kodak abandoned Cineon in the late 90's - just when digital vfx was getting really popular.

Moon had some great CGI in it. The most obvious one is the digital duplication. Gerty is CGI in most shots and there was a lot of enhancement to the miniatures such as matte paintings and digital debris. Seamless CGI which enhances the story is great. When it is used as a substitute for the story is when people complain about it. Physical effects can look great when used in the correct situations, but saying you are going to make a film only using them is just a cheap gimmick to promote their movie.

Or Python. It also happens to be one of the most commonly used languages in vfx and games.

There is also amazing vfx in this movie. Long cuts and vfx are just tools - both are capable of being abused.

If they aren't dumb pipes does that mean the ISP's will pay Google as part of the settlement if someone successfully sues youtube? If they want to play that game it has to work both ways.

Plus who would volunteer to work with children with all the stories in the news? You'd be automatically labelled as weird.

It might be nice if, discreetly placed around locations of interest (tourist signs, shop signs), there were some of the 3d barcodes that Android phones use. This would make it much easier for the phone to locate itself, and also give you an id for database lookup.
