I could fully relate with this post. I personally share a similar mindset: someone who can take criticism with pleasure, who has sorted out thoughts about how the industry operates, who has not subscribed to the belief that people in leadership positions are world apart from us, and who can openly express that wrong is wrong.

I think many of the people who disagree have either been serving in non-engineering roles since past couple of years, or have bought in the pitch of rosy world created by managers and so-called leaders.

There is no mention of the ruling party (why not simply say BJP?) or IT cell in the news. It seems you are here on Hacker News with only political motivations from your comments and submissions.

I had a Yahoo account created in year 2002, the time when most of the sites including Yahoo Mail (I suppose) did not support HTTPS. Not sure if that was the reason but with every email exchanged, I found the number of spam messages kept increasing. Later in around 2015, I started using Yahoo's 'Disposable Email Addresses' features but the spam load on my original email address was too high that I had to create a new user account in a year or two later.

I still use Yahoo Mail primarily because of its 'Disposable Email Addresses' super-feature. For my new Yahoo account, I have maintained the habit of creating new disposable email addresses for every site I need to register with. The disposable addresses always contain the name of site/organization I am registering with. I have also kept a few pre-created email addresses at my disposal :) in case I need to provide one on a retail store.

In last five years, there hasn't been a single spam message on any of these disposable addresses. I always had the option to delete these addresses as soon as I start receiving spams on them but until date, I never needed to exercise them. The messages that are moved to Spam folder are always false positives, so in a way, I don't lose sight of any message just because the mailing service decided to mark it as spam.

For 2D-like pictures (legs of fan pictured from bottom), the fix might be possible. For 3D (propeller blades with every blade having a right and a left face), it will be not.

The software will need to choose the final position of blades in the rendered picture. There is no ideal position since the blades have been moving throughout the scan time. Whichever position we decide, there will be information missing for one/more blade. Say, left face of blade no. X needs to be rendered but the camera only captured its right face. May be assuming that all blades have same shape and information of one blade can be used in rendering other blade will fix the problem.

Also missing background will have to be reconstructed. That's another issue.

I guess the cases of credit card frauds are far lower in India than other countries, where transaction happen without PIN numbers. There are SMS notifications for every transaction, which too is not available in other countries. If it was so easy to break security, RBI would have certainly enacted a stricter law or denied credit card transactions totally.

Regarding HQ4X, they used the algorithm to create 4X image but used Nearest neighbor to create 8X and 16X images. I think doing HQ4X two times would have resulted into a better 16X images without jags.

Wouldn't it be more quick by filling the hole with 7 stones for 34 times? They could use 34 extra stones (or goats) to keep the count. That could be done by any farmer.

Can a dislike button improve the quality of Facebook content? That can be used to demote most of the spam users are complaining about.
