"Among other things..." Like speeding? Like traffic-light cameras, this will result in unintended consequences at scale. But hey, more data!

It's difficult to replace all of Adobe's software. Your needs are varied enough to make it a bit more difficult. Mostly due to your need for animation software and Linux. I completely moved over to the combination of the following software and only rarely come across an edge case scenario where Adobe CC could do something that my configuration could not.
- Affinity Designer (one-time <$60usd) (replaced Illustrator)
- Affinity Photo (one-time <$60usd) (replaced Photoshop)
- Affinity Publisher (one-time <$60usd) (replaced InDesign)
- Photo Mechanic Plus (one0time >$100) (replaced Lightroom and Apple Photos)
- DaVinci Resolve (free and I love this software) (replaced Premiere)
There might be some smaller supplemental softwares I have accumulated over time to add more to my tools, but I don't think they're necessary.
It's so nice to not have CC, the subscription, the bloatware etc. Truly, I advocate against Adobe products to anyone I know who can actually perform professionally with the above substitutes. This is from someone who used to publish tutorials for Adobe's software in the many years past.
Out of all the celebrities, Bourdain would have viscerally despised this.
He hated fake phoney people, or food.
He hated when his production crew would stovepipe his bits.
He hated a scene in Greese (I believe) where crew went out and bought squid, and threw them into the water to made the shoot better.
I really liked Bourdain. He was one of the few celebrities that didn't seem to change with fame, or money.
I watched him for years, and knew he was unhappy, but never thought suicide unhappy.
After reading his books, I would agree and was hoping someone had posted this. If anyone would vehemently oppose such manipulation, it would be Anthony Bourdain. Is there a disclaimer before this scene is shown? I'll choose not to watch such a documentary created by those with skewed ethics.

This will only continue to get worse. Journalism can never be truly objective. But as we move more and more along this line, where journalists seem content with moving away from the facts, and more towards yellow journalism, and see themselves more and more as activists changing the world, and less as people bringing the truth out. this will only accelerate. As the old guard retires and leaves the news room, we will have completely lost any sense of journalistic integrity.
While journalism was/is the fourth estate, the watchdog of the government, the people as the watchdog of journalists is becoming the rising fifth estate. This fifth estate isn't so organized or always of much quality, but observable signal is emerging. Truly, I've noticed a more substantial signal coming from HN comments questioning the veracity of the fourth estate. It's great to see.
Maja Deren's influences may not be seen in mainstream Hollywood directly (though auteurs such as Nolan come to mind) however absolutely she inspired a generation of film makers and artists that reality is not one that needs to be reproduced exactly as it is filmed or photographed. She's beloved and studied still today in film schools and art schools.
This is true. We were shown Meshes of the Afternoon in our foundational filmmaking courses at AAU. Her use of choreography in combination of camera placement created a truly remarkable effect on the viewer. An example is her running up the stairs swaying back and forth with a slight tilt of the camera which made it seem as though the abode was moving like a ship on the open sea. Techniques like this she poetically used continue to inspire film makers today.
The HN crowd, for the most part, is very good at discerning a quality source from a questionable one. The general public, on the other hand, not so much. I often attempt to trace the source of information in any news article to its source, and more often times than not, one news outlet will use a different news outlet as a source. Eventually, you might get to the original source, but often you'll end up with with vague and roundabout interpretation of hearsay to make a nothing into something. Worse, you might not find the original source at all. There are good journalists out there doing their due-diligence, but the bar for a verified source is really low these days. A simple press release from a company, or a quote from someone adjacent to the topic, can be used, abused, and misconstrued to make the story hit harder. I'd say ethics in journalism tracks closely to trust in media. Incentives for news outlets, and their editors, wear on good journalists with good ethics, resulting in incentive driven content. It's really no surprise people don't trust "media" but trust specific journalists. Bring back the Fairness Doctrine, and things might change.

To save some bytes i like to use <i>. It makes any text italic, but that can be fixed with some styling.
The html <em> tag is the current best practice for this from my understanding.

As much as it pains me to say this, Apple is having much trouble juggling their endeavors. Apple's website is usually pixel perfect, but look at https://www.apple.com/mac-pro/index1.html and you'll see it isn't even responsive. Viewed on their own iOS devices renders the desktop nav. No one at Apple even goes to their own flagship desktop marketing page anymore.

I would love for this all to be one elaborate April Fool's joke and it becomes available on Monday.
On a more technical note, this was a bit surprising to read: "'No one looks at [Electro-Magnetic Interference] until the end.' The FCC rules for wireless charging devices like AirPower are quite strict, and limit exposure at 20 cm (8 in) above the device to 50 mW/cm^2."
Depending at which point was "the end" of the AirPower development cycle, Apple either spent many many months attempting to remedy the problem with small enough breakthroughs to keep the marketing parade going, or Apple discovered something severe last minute. The issues discussed in this article, I would think, were well enough known for some time--still making this a perplexing story.

What are people's thoughts on not deleting FB to better secure your personal identity. In the context of leaving google's services, I see people say that they sit on their email so no one else can take it, but I never see that sentiment about deleting fb.
Is it just that the bar to successfully impersonate someone via fb is higher and email is lot easier to manipulate?
I am particularly interested because I am planning on deleting my personal fb soon.
It's easy to not delete and stop using to serve your purpose. I loathe facebook et al., but some employers (fewer and fewer these days) want to see my online presence. To not have a facebook was considered strange, so for that reason, I keep it around. However, as far as maintaining an identity, or holding on to your custom facebook url, that’s a non-issue. Delete away, and create again—facebook is intelligent enough to reconnect you to all those people if need be. Personal identity is strengthened by other's endorsement. That's easy to get again with FB, especially if you're who you really are. It's difficult to take someone’s identity in that sense and it be valuable to the person doing it.
