(I hate having to make these statements but I am not trolling)
I was told search for "perfect" parity across users was in vain because perception of colour varied too much, from blood sugar level to physiology and etc.
What is the true benefit of going after this on software side? I mean I am not understanding the difference it causes on artistic statement or emotional impact.
I understand and support "true colour" across all hard/software but is it really that impactful?
We're not talking about perceived colour in these articles. Instead at best we're talking about absolute colour as might be sent over a display cable or as might be presented on a calibrated screen. Even if the screen isn't calibrated or the user is partially colour blind, the values that are sent over the HDMI or DisplayPort cable do still matter. Those values tend to be 8-bit 0-255 values for R, B and G, though that's starting to change. I won't get into how 255,255,255 might be a different colour depending on what mode your computer monitor is in or how your cable signals the mode to the computer monitor, but the point of this article is that the colours in a video can vary based on how and when the video was recorded, mastered, etc. This is partially historical: if watching a DVD you'll have a smaller colour range than if watching a UHD 4K HDR Blu-Ray because back then most TVs couldn't display high contrast images or what we now refer to as HDR or Dolby Vision. There are other concerns, of course, such as framerate and resolution and even the shape of a pixel can change in some video files. So ... it's a complicated topic. :)
I doubt the blood sugar level is more important to color than different display types/models and/or different rendering software.
I think the issue is more about consistency than true color/fidelity as true fidelity/color sharing between individuals is impossible at this time.
Professional video equipment exists for a reason.
I still can't wrap my head around how can such a critical infrastructre is not air gapped. This is just so... basic. You will never be secure enough, this is not what internet is for.
This is an extremely important detail which seems overlooked.
The pipeline did not need to be shutdown because of a danger to infrastructure, it was a corporate management decision to protect the company’s interests.
Colonial used a ransomeware attack on their company to do their own form of retaliatory blackmail on the entire southeast US to get a state level response and avoid the payout.
The above is not a defense of ransomeware, and I understand why Colonial acted as they did/it seems to have worked. They likely would not have gotten state level help had they not shut down the pipeline. But they have a larger level of responsibility for the damage caused by the pipeline shutdown than is being portrayed.
Serious question; How is Mongolian "return to nature" similar with Tibetian "We have no space for burial grounds" similar? Isn't this more of a case of flexible religion or more of a flexible "monk" trying to fit in as many traditions as possible into one religion?
The practice is similar. The motivation is different. The quoted paragraph may be phrased a bit poorly. I don't think the Mongolian practice has anything to do with Buddhism.
His demysfitication should have been followed up with "keep at it as much as you can, even if nobody else values as much as you do". I find it sad his message got lost; even you can't produce a master piece loved by anyone else (because it is objectively just "bad") your experience is important to you.
It doesn't matter if others like it or pretend as if it is likeable; you made a painting and that's all that matters. It doesn't have to live up to standarts, it doesn't have to be appericated or notice in history. I think encouraging people to feel "this oily matter stuck on bursh is now making shapes I can interpret on canvas" is more than enough.

I am at a loss to this '90s innocent internet. It scared me into using adblockers for over 2 decades (which coincidentally makes the article and this whole thread completely alien to me).
You had to use an adblocker because advertisers went crazy with tracking and a lot of shady stuff.
If you've been on various internet marketing forums, you will see that this is just a group of people who weren't smart enough to land a wall street jobs but morally unhinged enough to defraud businesses.
I am already hearing about law firms sending out letters and emails to people who bought Google or Facebook ads in the past 10 years.
With the new USGOV administration hawkish towards social media/tech (essentially ad revenue dependent cmopanies) and now seeing class action lawsuit against ad tech companies, my popcorn is being prepared in the microwave.
People have no idea how lucrative ad click fraud is in the botnet market. It used to be that botnet operators DDOS for hire or install Dutch spyware toolbars, now with headless browsers and fingerprinting evasion it has become impossible to distinguish real ad impressions from fake ones.
Your only tool to fight these fraudsters are statistics but over the past 10 years the "bad guys" (I don't know who is more evil, the people defrauding businesses legally or illegally) finally figured it out. They know if they are too greedy they will be caught so they now play the long milk game.
It is incredibly lucrative. A single botnet victim can yield upwards of $2~4 in ad revenues from a variety of ad networks.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to distinguish real from fraud ad clicks/impressions since the introduction of headless browsers and fingerprint evasion
Somehow web scrapers/botnet operators have found the sweet spot. This is just like how the American Cosa Nostra working with Russian criminal groups were able to siphon off crude oil from the USGOV in the 80s.
I miss the 90s when everything was more simpler and secure as a result. You can't hack an HTML document.
It should just show the value and have the definition of them written on the box, UI should not be a concern at all if you have to have electronics in this case.
