What about city activity with pollution?
more activity -> more pollution -> more crime
more activity -> more crime

Just saw a TechCrunch article with a title saying Richard was defending Epstein.
edit: what's up with the downvotes

In case you haven't noticed, we are talking about what He said in the recent emails, not in 2006.

He didn't suggest underage sex was OK.
His crime was being pedantic about the definition of rape around people who can't even differentiate rape from underage sex, which are probably the same people that are interpreting it as Him defending underage sex.

You are twisting what Stallman said.
-He argued that rape is no the same as having sex with a minor. He is right, that's not the definition of rape.
-A minor is not necessarily a child. You can be a minor and the next day be 18 in a porno movie.
-Never did Stallman said it was ok, He just raised the question whether Minsky knew She was being coerced by Epstein. Clearly not the same.

Because it is not the definition of rape.

The car looked gray because it had a protective coating on top, thus you get some amount of diffuse/specular reflection from the camera's flash and surroundings.

You are generalizing. I am doing a MicroMaster in data science from MITx and they grant the equivalent credits of the first semester. It's worth something if I ever apply to a similar master program.

LCDs don't work like that, they block the back-light with polarization:

If we were to shine a light into vantablack in a dark room ~0.04% would be reflected but it would be enough make the object visible. So, it is possible to differentiate both paints in those conditions.

Do researchers work for free?

Curious: Would you spend millions of dollars in research if your know it will be copied and you won't be able to make a dime back?

2_listerine_pls | 6 years ago | on: Objects that can change colors like a chameleon
Had the same idea 5 years ago but never tested it. The way I thought about solving it was more complicated, it involved a laser protector matching the absorption frequencies for each photochromic crystal (CMY) thus selectively heating each color. The only manufacturer of photochromic inks I knew was Zink but I didn't even imagine they would be willing to ship me some samples because they use them for their products. I could have asked my university for help but their policy was to keep 98% of the patent.
