How I understand it, Basically how TVs, except OLEDs work is having a white backlight, which is what you usually see in dark area the light bleed. Local dimming zones try to mitigate this, the more zones you have the less the light bleed can be. Ok but the white backlight goes through colour filters can even be quantum dots, don’t ask me how that works but basically, you started with white light and then filtered the colours until you are left with the desired colour. RGB backlights it seems wants to basically use RGB lights to modulate the colour of backlights so it can shine a blue light and then better filter that blue to give you popping blue colour rather than a desaturated blue light.

I have made numerous errors, I literally just watched one YouTube video with half my attention, and I please ask you to go read more about it but basically it sounds like a way to get a higher spectrum of colours per pixel and also ensure they are bright enough, so the colours look more saturated and pops out more.

Go look at LTT, Linus got the new Hisense and they explained the benefits and in the new video the drawbacks, it was the local dimming zones.

Same here, played around, but mint keeps pulling me back in. 10+ years going strong

Nestlé has found a new source which will help them sell plastic bottles

If you want to know how stuffed a cage can be, try boarding a mine cage after the shift is over, everyone wants to get out as soon as possible. People at the back usually take bracing stances because the shit will be squeezed out of them. Ours we stand, no squatting, but there are still two or three levels.

This, yes if the world did not pollute and all of us changed tomorrow it would have been the best, but let’s not lie, this ship has not changed direction. I really think this will give us time and save the most we have to eventually change the ship’s direction. We have basically already geoengineered our way here, let’s geoengineer our way to a better world

What law did he break, sorry I am ignorant of French laws. I understand it probably is seen as insensitive, but sounds like they are making this go viral through the Streisand effect and may lead to more people copying the smoker

Pfft a .22, what a weak caliber for a champion’s heart. Still fatal

What I mean is of course there will be health benefits, disruptions to established food networks, environmental benefits… Cool, I feel a High schooler could have come up with a similar article, especially with the thumb sucked scenarios it feels like.

Where is the juicy bits, like let’s take cigarettes, could have written a similar article. Just now the end of cigarettes is in the horizon, maybe not fully but clearly in a terminal death spiral.

What alternatives are proposed and is the global supply chain able to change. Will we achieve meat free through taxation, like cigarettes, and what will be the effects not only on the poor, but the cost benefits for the poor through health gains outweigh the extra costs?

They touched cultural and religious meals, but will religions adapt and seize these practices just like slavery, or would there be an unintended radicalisation effect.

Like I said these are just questions I thought of within 5 minutes. I believe the writer of the article could even have prompted ChatGPT for interesting angles. My opinion, which I believe everyone is entitled to, is that the article is shallow and leaves a lot of potential left on the table

What a shallow article

I will be honest, I identify as a libertarian, but that does not mean I have blind faith, and I do see benefits of other system. I do not think there really is a one size fits all solution. I am coming from South Africa. The post apartheid government I think even describes themselves as Socialist. I won’t lie they did great work from 1994-2008, amazing even. But unfortunately their way led to what I can describe as a self enrichment drive, really hollowed out our beautiful state. I think that’s why I identify as libertarian, Hayek’s road to serfdom really felt like he was explaining exactly what we are experiencing the last 15 years.

But apart from whose economic model is right, I think the most important thing in a functioning society is participating, like we are doing, coming up with dialog, arguing in good faith. But basically keep those in power on their toes, ensure their power isn’t entrenched, they are there to serve the people in however little or how much they try to govern us, and the people should participate to ensure they are kept accountable.

I think all of us want the same thing, a better world for us and a better place for future generations. Don’t let the elite tell us our differences should cause us to fight, like I said that is the beauty of this conversation, we can differ, thank you for having a different view so that I am not in an echo chamber, let’s argue in good faith, have freedom to explore each other’s viewpoints, you really did make amazing argument with entrenched monopolies for example.

Sorry rambling here, but love you internet stranger, thank you for our argument and challenging our own ideas so that we can grow

I still feel you attacked the open market idea, instead of answering the question I asked where a controlled market decides to give a sub par product, what individualistic avenue is there then to correct the 10% saw dust in my food?

Ok I hear you, the free market is not perfect, in fact it is free for exploration due to its open-ness. I give you that. There have been many abuses and will be. But I just listed a way the free market can regulate itself passively eventually without external influence, it is in individuals best interests to choose a better product and let the inferior fail (if there is no external influence). In a controlled market where the decision is made that the food can be adulterated by let’s say 10% saw dust, this was chosen because the people on top realised that it won’t have detrimental effects and will provide 10% extra rations. What passive correcting method which individuals can exercise is there?

I feel you are making a good point, in a free market people will choose, it is literally in their best interest to choose, and if someone produces a sub par or even poisonous product, the people will choose not to use the product and basically self regulate. Our country had this sudden boom of Shein clothing, they were cheaper so of course they dominated. The government tried exercising control by confiscating the clothes or adding extra tariffs on the clothes and it really was ineffective, our ports are basically so corrupt anything gets through. But now two to three years later even the newspapers are picking up on the growing textile industry thanks to everyone buying locally made clothes that are higher quality that lasts more than 5 washes. Yes there was a market disruption but the market is regulating itself, and cheap clothes from China or Pakistan will have there place, they will only have enough space the market decides for itself.

I can give examples, Cyberpunk 2077 being a great example, great studio with great past work, releasing something before they had time to make the product great. Remember all the Superman Trailers have just one goal, trying to convince you to get your butt in the seat come opening day. For the mega fan and the excited please do go the opening day. But us casual fans should not mindlessly go the first chance we get. Wait and see the reviews, spoiler free of course, after opening weekend to make sure you are informed before letting go of your hard earned money

Yeah let’s hold until the dust has started to settle. I am excited but not naive to false claims of exceptionalism to boost the bottom line of a studio

I always wondered how it feels, I generally abstain from drugs, but cocaine always seemed like fun. But seeing how easily I got hooked to vaping and then struggled but did quit my habit I do not want to try something I think will be more addicting

I loved the subversion, I felt Gosling and Crowe had excellent chemistry. Sad the movie did not get the financial success then, felt if it released now it would have been a major hit. Great buddy cop drama period piece
