Looks incredibly serviceable and well engineered. I would expect reasonable and consistent results from the rig. The biggest question would come down to the cameras. With these kind of rigs (two cameras, not computer…
Right, step 1 -> get page images, step 2 -> author images into book file. While OCR is obviously useful for search, a rotated phone screen will let you comfortably read a pdf book just fine unless you are talking about…
For those that are digital subscribers and wish to suggest exactly this turning off of 3rd party tracking for logged-in users, this looks like the most relevant email address: membershipsupport@theguardian.com Be sure…
Might check some of the credit unions you can join. I know at least FirstTech uses chip and pin for their credit cards.
These steps are generally split between the image processing ones, the OCR one, and a final step of combining/compressing pages into a single "bound" pdf/djvu file, at least if you are looking to use FOSS software. For…
The trouble is that only the most engaged minority of users would be willing to pay for the service directly. What I'm interested to see is whether we can build services where the people who care most end up covering…
Optical ballots provide a verifiable trail that can be used to audit the electronic counting machines. Seems that whatever system we use could benefit from some randomly selected mandatory audits/recounts at every level.

The format is called "Registered Reports" and a current list of journals that use it is available at https://cos.io/rr/
The problem with using the blockchain for this is that there are legitimate reasons to withdraw such a registration ranging from misstyping (s/increase/decrease anyone?) to, depending on your kind of study, the…
I realize you are replying to part of the discussion but your comment seems to be a nice point in support of the original article and I would like to see if you agree. You mention one strand of western philosophy, "the…
They share some areas of focus but philosophy also overlaps with history, religion, literature, and logic. All ideas are human ideas and it is important to understand the historical and cultural assumptions that are…
"Philosophers believe at least, that they are doing work more along the lines of mathematics than underwater dance (that is, searching for truth)" Thinking that you can search for truth while ignoring how most of the…
Having gone through an undergraduate philosophy major and taken many classes on non-western thought, all offered by other departments, I strongly support the article's position. To have a class called "Ethics" that…
Not to mention Kdenlive, which is being actively developed again and has been the most capable and stable of the free video editors I've used this past year (including Openshot, Pitivi, and Flowblade)
