The features described could be accomplished with a PIR motion sensor. I don't see any reason they'd go to the expense of adding a camera, especially since infrared is better for operating in the dark like you'd expect for an alarm clock that'll need to be able to wake kids at 6am in the winter.

So two candidates failed to submit their paperwork to get onto the ballot but the state in a bizarre display of proactive incompetence put them on the ballot anyways? The mistake eventually got caught and taken to the court and of course the court rules they have to follow the process dictated by law. And now Raffensperger is saying it's too late to change (which, ok understandable) and worse, is doubling down on his mistake by falsely claiming votes for them will be counted when the court has established they can't be?

98 was ok, ME sucked, XP was ok, Vista sucked, 7 was ok, 8 sucked, 10 is ok, 11 sucks.

Agreed. Another review has a picture holding it and it looks like typical banana size. That banana is just a banana of unusual size.

But that much root beer would raise the sea level! Then again it would make the sea near europe mildly root beer flavored for a while...

Frankly that sign would be A LOT weirder if they didn't

It's good the core language now has to have a reason before it deletes shit. Speaking of, when do they add full garbage collection and call it c+++?

Children should be kept further away from BDSM.

A dailykos article about a rawstory article about an nbc article about a newsguard article about how misinformation arose from a fourth-hand account.

I was reading an article on the new LG display with a refresh rate of 7680Hz and it says:

While a typical refresh rate for a monitor might be 60Hz-240Hz, an outdoor display designed to be viewed from a distance needs to be much higher

The idea that there's an intrinsic link between refresh rate and viewing distance is new to me and feels unintuitive. I can understand the need for high brighteness for far view distance. I also could understand refresh rate mattering for a non-persistent (CRT) display. But for an Led display surely you can see it far away even if it refreshes once a second?

Refresh rate normally needs to be high enough to avoid pixels "jumping" between refreshes on high resolution displays, so wouldn't higher view distances allow you to decrease the refresh rate?

Is the article just spouting bullshit? Or is there an actual link between refresh rate and view distance?
