This is the good answer. Also to get even better results you can project on a specific small screen using a mirror so you have an even better image. Due to 8mm low quality there is no gain from scanning.
I wonder what the outermost res of 8mm is? It must be pretty low.
I was involved with scanning some 35mm & 70mm Hollywood movie pieces for Universal and pulling 4K from some 35mm wasn't possible. They were saying 4K, but honestly, it was really about 3.5K of real res. I pulled 8K from 70mm, though.
This sounds terribly odd to me as a European guy. We hear a lot of stories with US cops unloading their guns at people they feel are a menace, only to realize later these people were actually unarmed or just holding a phone. But if someone gives them a middle finger then it is all fine and cops should do nothing but lower their eyes !?
In France to give the middle finger to a policeman or soldier or any other state representant would be considered an offense. People would be fined for this, and not even our leftists would contest that.
Just kidding- maybe there’s an actual law involved. Either way this sort of example shows how much of an outlier the Bill of Rights is. It’s something worth protecting at all costs.

The Supreme Court said it was considered free speech to give the middle finger. If you yelled profanity at a police man in front of the public you could get a charge like disorderly conduct or something like that.
Thanks for pointing out Evolu, both solutions (Triplit and Evolu) seem very interesting. I would also be interested to see a comparison between the two
Actually it depends on what you think is "meaningful". It could be having children, but it also could be discovering a new vaccine, helping other people, or just living a happy life without annoying anyone.
In any case, even if one thinks so, I find it quite rude to say that having a kid is the most meaningful thing you can achieve to someone that may not have children ...
People here are privileged, live in a better country, good income etc. Because they have better life, they expect others also to say it's great. Many children are born without proper thinking by their parents, for selfish reason and suffer every day.
I know you are not asking me. But, I would've refused to come to life.
Given that, when they ask me the question, I have the same knowledge that I have now or a short trailer about what is life (not specifically mine). Ahah.
> And then there's the transportation issues caused by it being a line instead of a circle
Actually because of the line concept it makes it easier to reach any part of it using a single high-frequency and high-density transportation line. With a circle design you need a lot more transport lines to reach all areas, and not all of them can be high-frequency and/or high density.
If you just take the planned line and make it a circle, joining the opposite ends and leaving the area in the circle empty, at the very least you cut the maximum travel distance by half
> People look pretty serious but that's just because of the technology pf photography back then
This is a known misconception. People on old pictures are not smiling because they liked it this way, not because of long exposure times. Same for paintings. Except for Mona Lisa, you were supposed to be dead serious when being immortalized on picture for generations to come.
Reading the white paper, and looking at their other projects (HVM and Kind), I have the feeling they successfully implemented what Urbit [0] tried to do, but in an elegant and efficient way, instead of going the convoluted and obfuscated route ...
Also the last chapters of their white book are interesting reads for anyone interested in blockchain and cryptocurrencies
