For those developing on Debian based Linux, these are the steps:

1. Install python-opencv package with apt-get/aptitude

2. You can get the Haar cascades here - http://alereimondo.no-ip.org/OpenCV/34

3. Run the same code, just make sure to use one of the cascades downloaded from step 2

Line 60:
parser.add_option("-c", "--cascade", action="store", dest="cascade", type="str", help="Haar cascade file, default %default", default = "/usr/local/Cellar/opencv/2.2/share/opencv/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml")
Change default to the haar cascade file path, or use --cascade option to specify it.

4. Execute

Edit: For non-Deb based distros, use your package manager to download/install opencv for python (or compile it) and continue from step 2.
It's loading here, albeit slowly (though I'm in Singapore right now, which means all sites load slow!). I'll ask my host, sorry about this.
Oops, I got the distance by looking at google maps and gauging the approximate distance using the scale at the bottom left - then used the wrong units from what I intended. I would have fit in perfectly in the Mars Climate Orbiter team :D
Google isn't Apple. Google is experiment driven. Similar advice several years ago might have been, "Google needs to stay they hell away from E-Mail! They're a search company." I don't think it "costs" Google anything to have many projects going at once -- they're optimized for that.
Well, sorry if I insulted anyone, but I'd think worrying about the "hacker acceptance factor" of a piece of tech is awfully non-hackerish.

You can write corporate drone type stuff in any language -- and you can write awesome code in any language. Java with a lot of immutability, closures (anonymous classes) and ExecutorServices is like a syntactically weird multi-threaded lisp. Very elegant. The language itself has something like 15 keywords, total.

As the person said upthread, you can look at some horrible 2002 EJB webapps (and I'm sure you can find their equivalents in rails), or you can look at projects like Hadoop, Hbase, Cassandra, etc. In general, static languages are probably a bad idea for webapps or scripting -- that doesn't mean they're the province of drones.
The guy behind the review Brian Meidel did this one http://www.deepbluesea2.com/ with a little help from friends and family. Quite an accomplishment.
Yes, interesting. One might almost cynically suggest that they're in favour of all tax increases as long as they're paid by somebody else.

I wasn't implying that it's better elsewhere, just that java isn't any better.
This isn't OS research, this is implementing oldish ideas into Linux. Real OS research would be something along the lines of an exokernel or a distributed vm based operating system akin to microsofts midori.
DNT was about trying to avoid government regulation. It was an opportunity for the ad industry to show that it could self-regulate and respect people's choices. Now that it has failed, the next step is for the government to step in and mandate privacy protections.
I'm not a touch screen fanatic but I think using your whole arm instead of just torquing your wrist all day is considered a feature?

Obviously it's not as great if the measure you're looking at is "how quickly can I go back to typing?".
Same deal in Slovenian. Twenty one is written as "enaindvajset" ("ena" - one, "in" - and, "dvajset" - twenty) which is the same format as used in German ("einundzwanzig").

Sometimes. [0] There are ways that statements can be made 100% textually correct, but semantically misleading. Other companies have done this before to mislead people, with varying degrees of legal success.[1] What a court would be interested is not whether Google is technically correct, but whether they misled people. They are in a unique position in this case to monetarily profit from misleading people, which may be something that would look bad in court.

0: For example: ask anyone who works at a helpdesk what it means when someone says "my Google doesn't work"

1: For example: Regulatory action against AT&T for "unlimited data" claims
> Chrome is designed to give Google control of the information it collects

Sure, but chrome does not do this in incognito mode, same as any other private mode browser, there's nothing specific about chrome that allows GA to collect your analytics in incognito mode, GA can do so in any browser.
It's honestly hard to say. Privacy is a selling point, especially nowadays.

My guess is that the proposal probably included the cliche "win/win situation," had already been sitting in someone's back pocket, and the raising of it was either sparked by some privacy-related news story -or- a market event of some kind. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter.

I think there are a handful of techs that lend themselves to natural monopoly--basically anything where the expense of building sufficient infrastructure for a minimally-competitive product requires previous success in the market. This is true whether the infrastructure is copper lines or a body of previous searches.

That means you're either one of the first ones there with low cost of entry and building on your own successes (Google); or you're shifting to the market from success in an unrelated area (Bing); or you're essentially locked out unless you can somehow acquire access to that infrastructure.

My guess is search will eventually turn into an antitrust-regulated industry. Really depends on whether up and comers like DuckDuckGo can really stay relevant based on ideology and whether old players like Yahoo can really re-enter the market successfully.

But the most likely scenario really appears to be a duopoly between Google and Bing at best, and more likely simply a monopoly for Google.

The analogous solution to telecom would be forced access to search queries for alternative providers (a la CLEC/ILEC) but privacy concerns will make the situation interesting to say the least.

Possible it may eventually turn out that mainstream search engines simply have no specific privacy protection, at least for aggregate data. Since that's in both the corporations' (market leaders aside) and government's best interest, seems plausible. That'd be a lot of power behind it.
Well, back in the mid-90's we had lots of fun with it in the university.

I admire your ambition! My own Android game development is intentionally limited to 2D for various reasons.

Unfortunately, and I hope this is not your experience, the way I understand the state of affairs in gaming in general is that if it's not as gorgeous as Mass Effect or as addictive as Candy Crush you're not likely to see many people caring.

Really, though, good on you for releasing a game! If making games is what you love, keep going; I just hope the monetization you're doing is more experimental than an attempt at making a living. People are cheap, cheap bastards, and your prices aren't even attempting to hit the whales that support most (if not all) profitable F2P games.

Edit: Also, please note that as many of us found out the hard way, Google Play does indeed show your freaking address as part of your listing, so you may want to remove it from the relevant part of your profile. It's not required but it's also not made clear that it'll be shown publicly if you enter it.
The animal search[1] even returns results for some categories of animals like "crustacean", "bird", and "feline". Nice attention to detail.

You might want to check out the nonprofit world. I've been in private and public sector IT and felt the same way you do. The public sector was frustrating. I couldn't get into the private sector work, nothing I did was worth it. But I've found a happy place at a non-profit. It's a small place and doesn't suffer from the govt drag. I believe we all share a common mission, and I like that mission. The people I work with are all into it. It helps that I really like the people I work with.

The paradox of frameworks: if you couldn’t write it yourself, then using it is a big risk if you hit a bug. But if you could write it yourself, you may not want to, as you have a better idea of what you want.

Personally, I only like frameworks that don’t fight me tooth and nail to encapsulate them into adapter layers (hexagonal architecture) when the time comes. There aren’t many of them. Some of them feel almost narcissistic in how much they want to assert themselves within your code.

The domain model is the most important thing. The framework is a detail that is not important.

Edit: forgot to mention, there’s a whole other argument here about how frameworks are not architectures. I suspect this is a big draw for many teams. But a commoditized architecture won’t serve you well over the long term.
I'm very lucky in that all I was using Workspace for was catch-all email forwarding, which CF Email Routing replaces easily.

Glad to be able to delete my Workspace account after their rather silly decision to start charging G Suite Legacy customers such as me; I only had it enabled in the first place as my hosting provider offered it as a free one-click setup option several years ago.

The CF product, for free, has been working flawlessly. Very impressed.
I mean, not if they comply judiciously with EU law. It's not like Facebook have been famous for the care with which they have followed all the rules laid upon them.
Another POV could be that since the death of proper R n D at apple, they have made amazing products but they have not created anything that advances the technology landscape. Google is making self driving cars, they are working on quantum computers. Apple has created an ipod which gave lots of profits for half a decade.

That's another common logical fallacy in debates in trying to shut people up. "Stop talking, if you really care about it, go do something." Well, for one, the reason why speech is important and criticism is important, is that it raises awareness. You can't get tell a guy to go toss starfishes back into the sea if the problem is industrial boats polluting the sea, you've got to hopefully get enough people from the bottom up aware of the issue to create the beginnings of a political movement, through boycotts or elections. I think it's perfectly fine for people to talk about, complain about, things in public forums, or at the dinner table. It's step 1 to change.

I can't solve the problems of the Uyghurs anymore than I can solve climate change. But do you think people should have sat quietly by in 1930s while Germany murdered Jews just because they couldn't do anything directly about it? I could choose not to buy Chinese goods the same as I could choose to recycle, but we all know it doesn't do anything. So the real change must occur at higher levels, that is, Western governments and corporations need to stop appeasing China for market access, compromising their art, their IP, just to please the CCP, only to be betrayed later, while at the same time, supporting violations of human rights. Condition your contracts, your trade deals, on transparency, protection for the environment, humane treatment, etc.

Right now Xi Jinping is thinking China can eventually survive on their domestic market only. Welp, that'll be a good experiment to try that Western governments can help with, and if the result is a severe economic recession in China, it may eventually lead to a new Chinese President as other CCP factions takeover, who takes the country in a different direction.
>> They also seem useful to contrast the American / protestant view of work as the path to salvation with the European / catholic view of work as something pitiful

> That... doesn't make a lot of sense, at least on face value. In the Protestant view, your work (human effort) has no effect on your salvation. In the Catholic view, it has a lot to do with it.

I think he got it wrong. IIRC, the "Protestant work ethic" comes from a belief one's work ethic and success is proof of salivation, not the cause of it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestant_work_ethic:

> Since it was impossible to know who was predestined, the notion developed that it might be possible to discern that a person was elect (predestined) by observing their way of life. Hard work and frugality were thought to be two important consequences of being one of the elect. Protestants were thus attracted to these qualities and supposed to strive for reaching them.
I have to assume this was specifically a reference to the Trojan Horse, although I like your interpretation better.
I thought he would go on for at least a decade more the way he still looked and given his energy; what a shame (and fuck cancer). If you don't know his music, it's well worth exploring. I found The Mad Hatter in the record cupboard of my parents when I was very young and liked it instantly.
The leave campaign was about 'control' and getting foreigners out. I guess there was little actual thinking on what that means for an economy based mainly on services and in particular financial services. The UK lost any chance to get a good trade deal when the prime minister said he'd make the country a tax haven if the EU doesn't sign a deal and introduced legislation breaking the agreement before the agreement was even in force.

Then complain and blame the EU for everything afterwards as Britain has always done. ~40 years in the block spent blocking any social legislation or further integration...

That article's not very convincing..

Fish oil you get at Walgreens isn't regulated by the FDA and can be dramatically different than what the label claims (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25604397). Moreover, the $30/bottle fish oil is very low concentration, often 20% - 30% PUFAs, and typically very highly oxidized.

Lovaza is 90% ethyl ester PUFAs and has been thoroughly tested to demonstrate safety and efficacy (http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2009/021...).

Will the $30/bottle Walgreen's Omega-3s be pretty close in effect to Lovaza? Probably.. If you take 3x as many to match dosage and if you don't mind the fishy smell and biproducts due to the AV/PV levels being off the charts.. but there's still no guarantee.
Are you serious ? They don't consider journalists a threat but rather a source.

Many of the modern terrorist organisations I am sure are sending videos, hostage details etc to newspapers in order to promote themselves and their cause. Makes sense that agencies would target them.

I definitely believe that there should be laws against though. Surely in the process of looking for terrorists the agencies must be finding some interesting blackmail information.
If we're analyzing the video ad, it's worth mentioning the fact that people don't usually go to a coffee place with a monitor and keyboard.
You can get the Model Y for $40k for the moment anyhow, just not from their web order form.

From hearing Ilan Zechory speak, it sounded like they landed their breakthrough investment with A16z after a whole lot of relationship cultivation, not so much an individual pitch. I don't know much about Ben Horowitz as a person, but to hear Zechory say it, he basically was a massive fan of their product itself and a kindred spirit with the founders.

I don't see them changing the world, but I do believe they're worth something as a company. They've built the world's best lyrics site, after all, and they've got Disqus-like potential as a pluggable annotation platform. Lastly, in their community, they have a constituency that's probably fairly unique, and I think that's a significant value too.

It's cheaper to use custom ARM boards than it is to build hardware that is SBSA-compliant, so consumers can expect that most, if not all, of their ARM devices are not SBSA-compliant.

> In practice this is difficult (but not impossible) to achieve

Why? Without going looking at particular FLOSS situations, this is just defining the word "practice" to mean "difficult to achieve." In "practice," Linux on mobile phones was difficult in 2007 and is easy today.

> I'm not saying you don't have a valid viewpoint, but you don't have to make up your own version of what I said and attribute it to me to make your point. You can argue on your own merits and not resort to grade school tactics (at least I hope you can).

I'm not arguing with you, I am pointing out that your assumptions are vague and your conclusions circular. There is not a single "practice" that just happens to be some bad guy opposing FLOSS because he hates your freedoms.

Is Linux on the phone a good thing? Android benefits a tremendous amount from Linux but at the same time Android phones are locked down black boxes with huge privacy risks.

So it's one step forward for FLOSS practice, two steps backward for privacy theory.

People accuse Stallman of being impractical, but stricter adherence to theory (GPLv3) would have prevented the practical problems of locked bootloaders on Android phones.

It's not as simple as saying "theory easy, practice hard."
That's a beautiful passage. Thanks for the link. Reminded me of Fernando Pessoa's writings as Alberto Caeiro.
Tortoise git is also not bad.
If you want backwards compatibility, you really should look at IBM.

Their mainframe family still runs most serious financial platforms around the world, and it is routine to run code written decades ago on the latest generation of hardware.

No, it is not cool. It is not sexy. It is not cheap.

But it is backwards compatible. With a vengeance.
Strong consumer protection is one of the core goals of the EU. http://ec.europa.eu/justice/consumer-marketing/index_en.htm: "The Charter of Fundamental Rights and the European treaties since the Single European Act guarantee a high level of consumer protection in the EU. It is also a general objective defined in Article 12 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU."

It isn't 6 years throughout the EU and for every product, though. The EU directive (= the text the EU writes that tells member countries what to achieve through their laws) states (paraphrasing a lot) that consumers may expect a device they buy to be what is advertised and to last as long as a typical device of what is advertised lasts (Business-to-business is different; there, it is more 'buyer beware')

As is typical for EU directives, that isn't very specific (partly for the better, as being specific would mean that such directives need to be revised all the time) and only describes a goal, not how to reach it.

Individual countries will vary in how they translate that into law. Apparently, Norway went for a very strong consumer protection.

Someone else mentioned a few of the costs not taken into account, such as the Navy needing to spend money they didn't initially plan on spending so the heat of the F-35B doesn't damage the flight deck of the amphib ships. Those had been built to expect the heat of the A/V-8B which is significantly less than what comes out of the tailpipe of the F-35.

> is an invasion from around 800 years ago really that devastating on a daily basis to the people of today?

It's not something I'd dismiss out of hand. For example, England was invaded by the Normans over 900 years ago, and the results of that invasion still affect everyone's everyday life today. Or consider that some cultural entities can be very long-lasting, such as religions, languages and writing systems.
Not really. The author uses his daughter inventing a new game as a springboard to speculate on the relationship between irreverence and innovation. The title, unfortunately, is geared towards his hook, not his point.
