The image appears to be "Paris skyline panorama with Eiffel Tower" taken by Jan Becke.

Take from that what you will.


Most of these photos seem heavily edited with only a few showing untouched skies. Thanks for sharing!

It's the one in your head that you picture, as not many have been taken:

The EHT is a remarkable achievement in datagathering and collaboration. But I always sort of wonder, a bit of doubt if you will. seeing as the process(simplified nearly to the point of absurdity) is that of building a image generator based off what we think a black hole looks like then feeding it very vague spectral data and getting it to generate an image. isn't that a huge confirmation bias. That is. of course the black hole looks like simulated ones, that is how the generator was programmed to make them.


Why does it look like it's moving to me?

Possibly because it's blurry your brain is trying to do stuff?

I remember times when the best available photo of Pluto looked like this.

Hah! Very similar, they even made a jig like I did.



I guess hand svgs aren't as prepared as pelicans


Just the motivation I needed to fix it :p


"popups that i dont feel like getting rid of"

Sometimes the users _are_ the problem


If the first thing I'm seeing on a site are popups, you don't care about my visit and I don't care about your content.

This is how that page looks: https://i.imgur.com/U95ePi0.png

They're asking me to:

1) Allow them to use cookies to "operate their website"

2) Allow them to use cookies to "carry out actions I request"

3) Allow them to use cookies to "personalize my experience on this website"

4) Allow them to use cookies to "enhance my experience on this website"

5) Agree to their Privacy Policy (which I can't read unless I pre-approve this)

6) Agree to their Terms and Conditions (which I can't read unless I pre-approve this)

And I haven't seen a single character of the content they want to trade all of this for. So that's a no for me.


Would a DSM not be preferable to a DTM? Or is that you reference with regards to large trees?


DSM includes buildings and trees. So the DSM from SRTM data makes market street in S.F. look like a series of very steep hills and valleys because some of the datapoints are street level while others are the roofs of skyscrapers. DTM removes the buildings resulting in a map much closer to what we think of from the ground.


I think the context makes it clear. But, equally, you can argue that the CD format was physically locking the files to that binder, but now the data is digitised it is more easily accessed and shared.


[flagged]

It's incredibly obvious they meant "to put it online", even if the content was already digital on the CDs. This kind of pedanticism is extremely tiring and antisocial. Grow up.


Why don't you just assume good faith when someone says they don't understand. There was no need for this.


People find different things 'fun'. Presumably the author really enjoyed making this (and look at all the positive comments).

Who are you to decide what other people enjoy?



Yes, it's big. Right now I have a Google Pixel, and I find it way too big already: https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=14883&idPhone2=...
