Support for mp4, or any other video format, isn't necessarily related directly to how camera feeds are handled. Video files are extensively used to test and benchmark cv applications. It's far easier, faster, and more convenient to feed a collection of video streams to your module instead of enabling a camera, which may require deploying the whole application, and capture the same sort of scene over and over again.

>If we look at our tools from back then, we would find them savage

I don’t know how true that is... you have tools today with the UX of then (vim, web 1.0 websites) and they’re both functional, useful, and not really that different from their modern equivalent. Software-wise, its hard to say that much has changed.

The main difference is uaage between early web and modern is web-apps (not significantly different from desktop apps) and the amount of sheer content to be found. Perhaps the centralized usage of social media too, but their usage is probably unsurprising (more surprising is how much personal info people feel fine giving away)

Hardware has become radicaly different, but somewhat in an expected way: everything got more dense. The only major shift in thinking there might be touchscreens, and google/gps available anytime anywhere, but neither are particularly surprising.

After GUIs became a major thing, I would argue most of our UX went stagnant. You could pull out a 1994 pc today and have no issue using it, and someone from 1994 would likeky have little trouble with windows 10, or even an iphone (after getting past the touchscreen).

Things got faster and smaller, but not different. Certainly not the difference of something actually “savage” (like a stone tied to a stick) to something truly “modern” (like a powerdrill), that would require a totally different mindset to use
GetOpenFileName is mentioned in the article as being the deprecated API that opens the old common dialog boxes. The first sentence in the documentation you linked to says to use the new COM API instead.
We use the default view in Bitbucket. My biggest gripes are:

1) Its diffing algorithm is mediocre and tends to interleave changes a few lines at a time instead of showing blocks replaced, which can make the code very difficult to read through (you can open up a side-by-side diff, which is more legible, but is available only in a modal and has to be closed in order to leave comments - awful UX)

2) Any new commit added to the pull request hides all previous comments even on unaffected files - they can still be found in the "activity" tab but without full file context.

3) Bitbucket collapses code more than N lines away from changed lines (good) but only expands 10 lines at a time if you want more context... slowly (awful if you need to get through 300 lines to find out which class this method belongs to).
I guess you meant outside of google? Google's logs analysis is often done in "Lingo" which stands for Logs In Go. I assure you that logs analysis is very CPU bound.

The methodology behind this study looks okay but it isn't necessarily representative of real world use. The study looks at the front page of around 200 news sites in Europe with a browser cleaned of all cookies. However in all cases the IP address belonged to a machine at the university of Oxford so it probably had some history attached to it.

It shows some reduction in cookies served before user interaction but it isn't clear is this is due to GDPR or other changes that have been made over the 3 month period.

My summary is that the data found is not statistically significant given the relatively limited sample size and lack of any control sample to compare against showing usual variation over a 3 month period.
I thought I heard this was also a boon for the scenario creators and level builders working alongside the graphics engineeers.

It's routine moderation and has nothing to do with which politics are being trumpeted—only with the dumbing-down effects of generic comments on the internet. The internet message board is not a medium that can handle grandiose rhetoric without breaking down.

> Start worrying when the banks stop offering mortgages to people trying to buy property in south beach.

If the 2007 financial crisis taught me anything, it's that we can't rely on the banks to make sound financial decisions, particularly regarding mortgages. Even more so now that the government bailed them out at taxpayer expense. They know that will happen again when needed. They have a safety net so they can gamble as much as they want—they can win but not lose. They will continue to believe this until/unless the government breaks them into pieces that aren't "too big to fail".

Perhaps they already should have stopped offering those mortgages.

Sounds to me like just another detail and if you take any generation condemning the next in that pattern you mention, you'll see they are the first to see consequences of the new thing. It's just another step in the evolution, albeit one we may not like.
I'm cautiously optimistic about using this for data visualizations in AR. I've messed around with genomic models using Hololense and have found that AR works better then VR in a lab or collaborative environment where there is benefit to seeing others while looking at the same augmented reality. I'm curious if this will be better for medical imaging and other biological sequence visualizations (then Holo lense). Better in this case would translate to more accurate tracking of my eyes, interaction with the built environment, and higher quality resolution. I still am yearning for a AR experience that let's me walk through my databases and interact a la Minority Report or my personal favorite movie-reference to VR "Disclosure" featuring Michael Douglas and Demi Moore https://youtu.be/dJcakDNtHDA

And given that the stones explicitly warn of catastrophe associated with the drought it doesn’t seem like a too common occurrence.

(Also, on an unrelated note, it’s important not to confuse drought (for which there’s precedence) with global warming and recent heat waves (for which there isn’t precedence). The two are probably connected but they’re not the same.)
Wow, looks like others have had the same idea. Wonder what stalled things out? Maybe there’d be something worth picking back up.
For Investors, Tesla Is a Bad Bet
I live in the LAUSD (Los Angeles) school district, which has a pretty strong charter system and has had for a long time.

In the case of LA, your assertions are just not true. They seem to be based on generalities about monopoly markets, and to be un-informed by how charters really play out.

The charter school era has been a period of great change - but there are some really bad charters, and some of them fail suddenly during the school year. Some of the for-profit charters have been notably corrupt, and oversight of small charters is hard. As a recent example, a charter near my home closed just a few days after the beginning of the school year, due to insufficient enrollment (http://www.pucschools.org/iprep/). Now those families are searching for another school. Most of them will end up at their neighborhood school after all.

To return to your "market" concept: one of the fundamentals of properly functioning markets is information. It is very hard for parents - even well-informed parents - to gather information about the real quality of instruction at a school. (The things that parents respond to don't really correlate with educational quality.) Another fundamental is liquidity - this is just not a liquid market. People like to stick with one school if possible - for good reasons.

Another problem with the "market" concept is that provision of elementary education is not really a market transaction. The teachers are not really in it mostly for the pay. The parents don't treat it as a market either. What was the last time you volunteered time at your local grocery store or lumber yard?

You and I agree that there are problems with "monopoly" elementary education - but throwing charters at it as a simple market solution has not worked out well. It seems to be a more complex problem.
In a "no recourse" state like California, the bank can go after the house they loaned on but can't go after any of your other assets.

Florida is not a "no recourse" state though.
Ive read that ashwagandhas benefits are 20% immediate, and 80% chronic. So you don't really see the effects of ashwagandhas until a week or two when your cortisol levels drop.
This article is kind of infuriating. Just bring the facts up and talk about them, instead of describing people. I think this is one of the more critical parts (along with the stuff about water supply getting contaminated):

> Barring a stupendous reversal in greenhouse gas emissions, the rising Atlantic will cover much of Miami by the end of this century. The economic effects will be devastating: Zillow Inc. estimates that six feet of sea-level rise would put a quarter of Miami’s homes underwater.

However, nowhere in the article does it say a six feet rise will happen at the end of the century. So is that actually going to happen? How many models project this and how many don't? What is the "stupendous reversal" required in real terms? What are the options to combat this? Would a giant sea wall work?

If you come at this from the angle of "climate change is a myth" the entire article reads as fluff. This makes it basically impossible to convince people that this is a real issue that needs to be dealt with. The sensationalist title distances people from the issue even further (it is sensational because the article doesn't present any evidence that Miami will be underwater soon).
Could be fun in near future. Plenty of room for improvement so it’s a good base for exploration of Fpgas.

Article 7 of the GDPR specifically states that "It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent."

> And if you ever accidentally click I Consent, then they opt you back in to everything again and then never show you that option box ever again.

If this is accurate, then this is another violation of the same article, which also states that "The data subject shall have the right to withdraw his or her consent at any time."

How to Install Mattermost on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Citation? There seem to be cases in high technology where the market is very patient for long term returns. Case in point: AMZN trades at a 320 P/E because the market (thus far correctly) can’t see a plausible scenario in which it cedes any e-commerce or AWS share.

Maybe this is optimism bias writ large? Another possibility is that even if there is robust demand despite certain destruction, these houses are really worth many millions for the short term (for cachet, status, etc.). Here we model them as really expensive vacations.

"by the end of this century" is quite an odd definition of "soon". By then some of us won't even be alive.
I don't think this would work as it makes it too easy to not be fully tracked. There are so many hoops to go through now because companies want to incentivise being tracked and punish those who don't wish to be.

If this was brought in through regulation, that's a different story.
Dark patterns like that are explicitly not allowed and hopefully these sites will learn that if they aren’t going to be compliant then they might as well not show anything and just ignore the GDPR.

> Second, you give the compliment sandwich.

I've heard this called the shit sandwich. Good news, bad news, good news. Helps to break unpleasant news in all kinds of situations.
> Aren't you simply doing the same thing with an opposite opinion?

Defending ones position and imposing/guilting ones position are different I think.

> Your "communicate over long distances" reasoning is just additional bunk... unless of course, you consider email social media.

Why is it bunk? Why are people so quick to assume someone's true motives for using something are false even to themselves? It's ok to say you suffer from the cognitive dissonance to recognize their intentions, but you should just assume you don't know instead of calling their reasons false.

One could consider email the precursor to modern social media, and if as a medium it offered what modern social media outlets do, it would still prevail.
Not necessarily. My mother lived briefly in Shawneetown, IL, on the Ohio River (before I was born). After a particularly bad flood, the locals just packed the whole town up and moved a couple of miles inland to higher ground. I took her down to visit once, and she was totally weirded out. The house she lived in still stood there, abandoned.

People move away when a location is no longer economically viable, period. They won't move away until then, despite the risks. If they did, no one would live in volcano or earthquake zones. Think San Francisco Bay is going to be depopulated just because it's a dangerous place to live?

The "dual-pane file manager" is more usually termed an orthodox file manager.

I've been at multiple companies where people get zero minutes notice of a layoff -- "Hey, come meet with me -- btw IT just took your machine." Despite that, the team I worked with were people I was close to, whose skill and wisdom I respect. It was as a courtesy to my _manager_ (and my team) that I gave N>=2 weeks notice. After all, every single one of these people are people I would love to work with again, and I'd like to preserve those good work relationships.

I've been very lucky to never have a boss or team that I didn't feel that way about.
How to find your best career fit
I'm currently learning a foreign language in school. Apart from the occasional use of a TV screen to show pictures, everything is taught by voice, whiteboard, and paper handouts.

I personally use spiral-bound notebooks and erasable pens (friction) as my medium of choice. Yes, with some sort of technological device I could maybe type faster, sort things into lists, make indices, search and replace, have a builtin dictionary, and so on. But would I really be learning more? Or would I just be more distracted in class?

I use technology all the time, including "spaced repetition" apps on my phone, to exercise my memory as much as possible. But I strongly feel the classroom is not the right place for fiddling with that.
I live in South Beach.

Private flood insurance has pulled out of the market after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, and it’s not just South Beach it’s a majority of Miami-Dade County.

On the beach it has gotten to a point where some commercial properties can’t get insured...that will be an inevitable disaster.
I was in high school when Facebook came out. I rejected social media and never engaged with it. I’ve never had a Snapchat or a Facebook or an Instagram.

When Facebook came out it just seemed obvious to me that it was a bad idea. It was basically a brutal platform that hugely magnified the ugly, quantitative aspect of socializing. Who’s the most popular? Who’s the smartest and funniest? Friend count and likes and so on basically streamline the process of judging others and self evaluation. It’s brutal and anxiety inducing and it never made any sense. Of course the root of the problem is the people who use it who are viscious and mean. Affluent American teenagers are some of the worst human beings on the planet.

When I visited there the first time I thought wow everyone is so friendly and the customer service is great!

But the more I visited and spoke with my friends who live there, realize that a lot of it is just to put up a face because that is what society there requires them to do.

On a personal level it is quite sad in a way, but I also wish the customer service would be like that everywhere else in the world.

Always reminds me of Roisin Murphy "Dear Miami" (1997)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbX7ASDLwAk

"Behind these walls
You can be so self-absorbed
Behind those eyes, no disguise
Disguise, no you can't disguise

Behind this fortress of an address
Stuck in the passion void
With a little style full and for a while
But you can't turn back time

Dear Miami, you're the first to go
Disappearing under melting snow
Each and everyone turn your critical eye
On the burning sun and try not to cry

It's not $44K per year. In California, it may be around $13K per year depending somewhat on location (~ $65/day/student). See the first spreadsheet linked at: https://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/fd/ec/currentexpense.asp

The idea behind the "Melting pot" analogy is that while our ancestors may have spoken German or Irish or Congolese or Yiddish or Vietnamese or whatever, we've all agglomerated now and come to form a single nation with a single shared language (whatever we may speak at home). The various ethnicities that make up India haven't been melted together to the same extent that American ethnicities have - thought my impression is that India has a fairly strong national identity anyways.
