It’s wild that people celebrate folks sending jobs overseas as “smart business people”, but then demonize workers asking for wages to keep to with inflation as “greedy”.
The people doing the demonizing of workers are the ones praising the business owners. Although sometime they’re also business owners themselves, I was more talking about financial reporters, TV personalities, and bootlickers.
The problem i was alluding to was shell companies, subsidiaries, and all the existing popular tax avoiding strategies used by big companies (that’d also be used for avoiding counting those employees)
For the record, I agree with more taxes. I’m ok with you replying more taxes.
But we need new laws in addition to new taxes, that prevent companies from splitting up their companies (money/employees) into distinct legal entities based on geographical location. Good luck with that, though.
LOL you think they wouldn’t have already done that if they could? Explain to me how you think that’d be the result of making offshore labour more expensive 🤣🤣🤣
I read that article, and it’s very good! But it didn’t explain how detect atmospheric blurring, since it’s not actually blurring, it’s distortion. To quote that article
even if the sharpest image is very clear, it may still be distorted in varying degrees around the frame So you can’t just score the frames by sharpness.
Assuming all images are compared to a reference shot as you suggested, how is the reference shot selected?
I’ve actually got my own ideas about how it could be done, but this is coming from a background in computer science, not from astronomy, so I don’t trust my solution.
As the title asks, what is the average mass of each kind of cloud? Ignoring things like overcast days, and only considering clouds large enough to identify. Or maybe rather than “average” it’d be better to say “what is the mass of an archiypical cloud of each type?” Eg an archiypical cumulus, cirrus, cumulonimbus, etc.
Oh shit good question. I’m gonna say no because I was really trying to ask about how much ice/water/dust is involved, but I’m also curious about the air.
Saying the quiet part out loud, with pride ( sopuli.xyz )

how does lucky imaging in astrophotography work?
I understand how lucky imaging gets the results it gets, but I’m wondering specifically how the 10% of frames are chosen....
what is the mass of a cloud?
