I Can't Show You How Pink This Pink Is

vil says...

Essentially there is no such thing as white light or indeed pink light. White light is when all your color receptors are saturated, what you think of as pink is when blue and red light is combined, and the possible wavelength combinations in both cases are sadly endless and impossible to represent fully in a simple table or graph.

Pink is a relatively easy color for monitors because, unlike for example yellow, pink is always a combination of blue and red light, while real life yellow is represented by a combination of blue and green light on your monitor and blue and green receptors in your eye. So yellow exists but we only ever see its representation as a mix of green and blue, while pink is a virtual colour all round :-)

Yes I suspect fluorescense is at play in this case somehow.

With RGB and CMYk the key word is representatiom. There are real life impressions of colours, and then there is the wish for standardisation and representation, but the eye is a very imperfect tool and representation is approximate. Real life paintings are awesome and you dont even come close watching photographs or computer monitors or prints in books.

Pink is a combination of red and white light.
There are almost surely numerous combinations of various spectral colors that will look exactly like ultra-pink to our limited eyes. Fitting into the various color gamuts involved in color reproduction and perception is not very simple at all.

Whiter than white washing powders work by using fluourescence -- they transmute some of the ultraviolet light striking them into visible light. The reason this works is explainable by a color gamut, the gamut of the human eye. If we could see in the ultraviolet range that is being absorbed then the trick wouldn't be nearly as effective. There are animals, for example bees, that do see colors bluer than we can, and in fact some flowers have patterns that are visible only to them.

It is possible that fluorescence is partly responsible for ultra-pinkness. If it is, that would have been more interesting than what was presented.

I suspect, but do not know, that the CMYK or RGB color representation schemes are up to the task of encoding the colors you describe. The problem is that there is no practical process that can sense them in an image, nor any practical process that can mechanically reproduce them.

Biker cut off but lands safely... ish

newtboy says...

I saw him do nothing that 90%+ great, "safe" riders wouldn't do.
Safe...riding isn't safe. Drivers are idiots that don't think or look out.

He may often ride like a crazed moron...just not this time imo.

80 in a clear lane is normal, but also admittedly illegal. That said, who would expect that moron to cut between cars, across two lanes at once, to cross a double yellow without looking or coming close to matching the lane speed? Not me. I would have monster trucked him in my Bronco and suffered no damage myself. ;-)

None of that negates what I said about driving safely.

In a legal and technical sense, the car that pulled into the carpool lane is indeed in the wrong.

That doesn't mean Mr. Motorcycle here was driving safely.

See this *related video. Notice the difference in how each driver operated their motorcycle.

newtboy says...

Technically!?!
The bike was in the carpool lane, where travelling faster than other traffic is expected, that's why the lane exists. He was not going inordinately fast, traffic in the fast lane was going pretty slow.
The car crossed two lanes and a double yellow line without looking or matching traffic speed in the lane(s) it was entering. Any one of those mistakes is enough to make this technically the car's fault, all 3 together leaves no question and removes the technicality completely.

100% the car's fault. Not even 1% the bike's fault. He did absolutely nothing wrong.

notarobot said:

Technically, the car is at fault here but...

The biker was speeding, travelling MUCH faster than the general speed of traffic, and has a history of douche-tastic behaviour on the road.

Reddit thread on this: https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/6cj4i8/motorcycle_got_cut_off_on_la_freeway/

The biker went through and made a number of videos private that prove how much of an asshole he is.

Stephen Fry Explains Why Some Believe Everything Trump Says

bitterbug says...

Except that he didn't. He took that million, made investments, got a job with daddy, and within 15 years had accrued massive debt.

When his father died he got a massive inheritance. That's where his wealth comes from.

And, as John Oliver pointed out with great humor, Trump has had one failure after another as a businessman. But his name has recognition so it's useful as a brand. So OTHER people put his name on their buildings and such, and then he swaggers around taking credit for it.

You bought the yellow kool-aid, and now you're smiling through it and trying to tell us it doesn't taste like piss.

jimnms says...

That's what I thought at first, but I re-watch it a couple of times because something just didn't look right. I watched it frame by frame and it doesn't look like a reflection. You can see the sun reflecting off the other windows in the front and back and even the middle windows as yellow flashes, but the whole time the windows in the middle of the ship are white like they have blinds closed behind them. Then suddenly at about 1:42 they seem to open, then close about 5 seconds later.

That would be the sun reflecting off them, because it's a boat, and it's in the water.

The Adpocalypse: What it Means

00Scud00 says...

Nope, I once had to look up what those little yellow marks on the timeline were when I viewed stuff on YouTube. Firefox + Adblock Plus + NoScript = a much better and safer browsing experience. Although sometimes YouTube does change things up a bit and Adblock has to play catch up, otherwise my YouTube videos are just black screens.

Has anyone else noticed a sudden spike in unskippable minute long ads on YouTube recently?

I seem to be getting the same ad on everything I watch these days.

Comcast Repairmen Unconcerned Of Wrecks They Are Causing

newtboy says...

Screw em...I would aim for the bright yellow safety bumpers. They're there to protect your car from damage.
Those fuckers needs to be fired....today...but it's comcast, so horrendous treatment of the public is their company motto.

As well as that from Charles Dickens, who wrote in "A Christmas Carol":

"Oh, Man, look here! Look, look, down here!" exclaimed the Ghost.

They were a boy and a girl. Yellow, meagre, ragged, scowling, wolfish; but prostrate, too, in their humility. Where graceful youth should have filled their features out, and touched them with its freshest tints, a stale and shrivelled hand, like that of age, had pinched, and twisted them, and pulled them into shreds. Where angels might have sat enthroned, devils lurked, and glared out menacing. No change, no degradation, no perversion of humanity, in any grade, through all the mysteries of wonderful creation, has monsters half so horrible and dread.

Scrooge started back, appalled. Having them shown to him in this way, he tried to say they were fine children, but the words choked themselves, rather than be parties to a lie of such enormous magnitude.

"Spirit, are they yours?" Scrooge could say no more.

"They are Man's," said the Spirit, looking down upon them. "And they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. BEWARE THEM BOTH, and all of their degree, BUT MOST OF ALL BEWARE THE BOY, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Deny it!" cried the Spirit, stretching out its hand towards the city. "Slander those who tell it ye. Admit it for your factious purposes, and make it worse. AND ABIDE THE END."
(emphasis mine)

Ignorance is a bill that always come due and it comes due like a motherfucker when you will least expect it and can least afford it.

To quote Orwell:

"The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield."

Reality is a motherfucker, too: if ignorance is the fall, then reality is the sudden stop at the end.

THE CRUELTY BEHIND OUR CLOTHING - WOOL

newtboy jokingly says...

We also have people trying to sell cockroach milk for human consumption. Count me out.

Yeast milk is identical to cow milk in the same way my piss is identical to lemonade. It's yellow and wet...see, identical.

OK, I'm al for genetically engineering a sheep that wants to be sheered, and is intelligent enough and articulate enough to tell you so. Even better if it wants to be eaten too and can tell you about which parts of it are the most succulent. The problem then becomes keeping it from interbreeding with real sheep and driving them extinct....I guess we'll have to castrate them all. ;-)

transmorpher said:

That's a good reason to boycott wool. If it's all profit driven they will find other ways to make their product.

For example we've got yeast now which grows dairy milk identical to cows milk, thanks to an increasing market of people who refuse to buy milk from dairy farms.

I'm certain if enough people put pressure on the wool industry then someone innovative will take advantage and make some kind of device that grows wool without the sheep.

So we can have our cakes and eat them too in the long run, just by slightly altering our purchasing habits in the short term.
