The climber’s code of ethics, issued by the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation, specifies “helping someone in trouble has absolute priority over reaching goals we set for ourselves in the mountain.” Most take this to heart. “Saving one life is more important than summiting Everest 100 times,” says Serap Jangbu Sherpa, the first person to climb all eight of Nepal’s 8,000m peaks, and the first to summit K2 twice in one year. “We can always go back and summit, but a lost life never comes back.”

"If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality."

Stupid/ortodoks kapitalisme er i hvert fald livsspilde.

Når der skal motion track'es, har skuespilleren en sjov dragt på og små klistermærker i ansigtet.

Når der skal VR-optages, er skuespilleren omgivet af en masse kameraer med højst 6 grader imellem.

Her har de et endnu større antal kameraer og fanger personen og lyset med bedre end millimeterpræcision. De kan så pakke personen sammen til en figur, der kan smides sømløst (siger de) ind i et computerspil.

Det korte af det lange: talende personer vil se bedre ud i nye videospil/VR-film end de syntetiske mennesker i Half-Life 2 eller The Last of Us.

"To be governed is to be watched over, inspected, spied on, directed, legislated at, regulated, docketed, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, assessed, weighed, censored, ordered about, by men who have neither the right, nor the knowledge, nor the virtue. … To be governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction, noted, registered, enrolled, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under the pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, trained, ransomed, exploited, monopolized, extorted, squeezed, mystified, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, despised, harassed, tracked, abused, clubbed, disarmed, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and, to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, outraged, dishonoured. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality."

Nu sættes alle boliger til salg

Boligportalen myhousebook.dk gør det muligt at byde på boliger, selv om de ikke er til salg.

Chromecasts software er blevet væsentligt forbedret. Det kommer både den gamle version og den ny version af Chromecast til gode. Det er meget lettere at bruge og overskue sine apps og de er alle blevet bedre. Selv lokal afspilning med LocalCast er blevet en smule bedre..

Den ny Chromecast understøtter IKKE 4K. Desværre.

Men man kan nu købe ethernet-adapter til den (så den trådløse hastighed aldrig bliver et problem) eller en specialversion, Chromecast Audio, der vil kunne det samme som Sonos Connect og en Bluetooth-dongle

Chromecast and Chromecast Audio Hands-On: Damn, These Seem Promising

As predicted, today Google unleashed not one but two Chromecast devices. They?re both impressive, and they?re both still just $35. I just spent a little time with both of them and here are my impressions.
