There's a bittersweet naiveté to those thinking PhD government will do a better job. [0]

“Best” center depends on the cancer. The list is longer than MD Anderson and MSK.

Fine for bread, but I don't think most customers are interested in the artisanal aspects of business operations.

> I'm not really sure that contemporary CGI will really age as well.
Because today the film is subordinate to the CGI. In the early days, as is apparent in this oral history, CGI usage was deliberate and each shot received unusual scrutiny, time, and senior talent. And the technology simply wasn't used when the illusion didn't work; the imagery really had to blend with the physical footage. Today, obviously, the same considerations don't apply.

Tolerance is all the author is entitled to and the rest is on them to figure out. Expecting compatibility is ignorant.

Sneakers are fashion, and Allbirds underestimated how quickly trends shift. They made other mistakes, but none more fatal than selling a product that still looks like 2016.

> usb-c is too unstable
Would you share more? I've never had an issue with a USB-C cable. Helps to buy well constructed ones with legit specs.

LaserDiscs are not quite a digital medium. The video is an FM analog signal (composite). Digital PCM audio was introduced about half a decade into the format's life.

> How were they able to achieve such perfect recreation from monkey
Because the macaque study didn't decode faces from fMRI. They first used fMRI to locate the face patches, then used tungsten microelectrodes for single-unit electrophysiology to record spikes from individual face-selective neurons in ML/MF and AM. [0]
Single-unit recordings capture individual spike patterns at a resolution fMRI, which averages across hundreds of thousands of neurons per voxel, simply cannot provide.

> That turns out to be a profitable business though.
He does not disappoint. Also, not buying the watch industry parable.

Digital video editing was slow to gain adoption, but digital video mastering (i.e. video transfers) was pretty much standard for home video by the early 90s. Telecine setups (even analog) had smart controls, nothing I'd call 'barbaric'. [0]
