Object Detection has seen several recent developments and reached a wide audience but a very important and not widely known extension of the OD is its applications in Object Tracking.
This blog explains the theory and challenges in object tracking, how to use pre-trained object detection models to identify and count unique objects and track their trajectories over several frames using the DeepSORT algorithm
I used to run with a sketchy group of homeless people that did heroin together in NYC. Most of them were making over $100 panhandling/hustling/scamming per day. It’s probably lower in other places, though.

In many venues, I'd be labelled an Apple fanboi. And I probably am. I've got all their shit; services, too. The day their credit card comes out is the day I sign up for it. Hey, it's one-stop shopping, I'm comfy in the ecosystem, I feel like a superior person by using their products, and the stuff mostly works.

But I would absolutely love a $400-500 iPhone and I'm fine if it's missing a lot of features. My phone just isn't my primary point of mobile computing anymore (if anything, Apple Watch fills that role for me now[0]), so I neither need nor want a $1000 phone (even though, being a fanboi, I have one). And the point of putting my CV in the first paragraph is to point out that, hey, even if you don't make money selling me a phone, Apple, you'll still make an arse-load of money off me. And maybe you'll get new customers/revenue to boot.

[0]Which, I'll point out, is also a ridiculously-priced device at $900 for the one I bought.

Mystery.org | San Francisco, CA | Remote or On-site

Mystery.org (YC ’17) is on a mission to accelerate human progress! We're creating more problem solvers through inspiring children to love science. This is a rare opportunity to join an early-stage company that is improving the world, receives unsolicited “thank you” notes from its users every day for making their lives better, and is already profitable.

We started Mystery.org to create better explanations for every question children have about the world. We began with the 150 most common science questions that children ask teachers. We call this collection Mystery Science. Last year, more than 4 million children used Mystery Science in 50% of U.S. elementary schools. We’re backed by a great group of investors including Y Combinator, Learn Capital, and Reach Capital.

We’re now moving on to all the other questions children have that they’ll never learn in school. In the last 18 months we received over 500,000 questions from children eager for better explanations of the world. Now we’re creating video explanations for every question.

Our goal is to create a generation of better thinkers. We think this is the most important problem to solve in the world today.

We're hiring engineers, product managers, and designers. Take a look at all of our open positions: https://about.mystery.org/jobs
A car dealership or mortgage lender is not going to write you a loan with no information on your creditworthiness, or no deterrent to nonpayment. If they do, it will be at a rate that reflects the enormously elevated risk. Information about creditworthiness is essential to credit’s wide availability.

Summary of study from Nature link, italics mine to prevent likely misunderstandings of their work:

> Here we test whether levels of prenatal oestriol, oestradiol, oestrone and oestrone sulphate in amniotic fluid are associated with autism, in the same Danish Historic Birth Cohort, in which prenatal androgens were measured, using univariate logistic regression (n = 98 cases, n = 177 controls). We also make a like-to-like comparison between the prenatal oestrogens and androgens. Oestradiol, oestrone, oestriol and progesterone each related to autism in univariate analyses after correction with false discovery rate. A comparison of standardised odds ratios showed that oestradiol, oestrone and progesterone had the largest effects on autism likelihood.

The obvious answer is that a stack of cheap cellphones running Android is a pain to develop for, deploy and manage compared to something actually designed for server use. These are probably not areas where mainframes have the upper hand this century.

Someone's location also impacts their risk, but generally as long as one isn't in a very dense, high-value-of-information area, the realistic risk that cybercriminals are staked out somewhere like a Starbucks in Topeka, KS waiting to lure people into a MITM is probably less than the actual device getting stolen.

Late 1980s. MSN didn't exist at the time. MSDN did, though, and didn't require advertising support, Microsoft was fine with offering it for free.

I didn't mention it in the article, but I do recognize what you said as about the only redeeming thing about advertising on the Internet. Free content is a huge boon not just for the less wealthy, but for kids. I do not have a good idea how we could get rid of ads on-line while not excluding these demographics at the same time. I was kind of hoping someone on HN would have some ideas, but nothing turned up so far.

How often is this font redrawn? Where's the changelog?
I call both places and people 'thingy', admittedly only when the actual words don't come immediately to mind. It's possible I'm more addled than the average English speaker though.
In the current scenario, all server-side logging is on by default and there's no way to turn it off. In fact the devices don't even tell you when or what they're logging, so it can be assumed to be ever-present.

However, if you turn it off and then ask people for their data during specific time periods, (EG can I log your voice commands for the next 24 hours?) then people are aware of what you're doing, there is a limited period where they're giving up their privacy, and it's based on informed consent.

What these companies are actually doing is highly unethical from a scientific perspective. They're using people to train their models without even informing the experimental subjects that their data is being collected. There's no debrief for the subjects so they can understand what was learned.

Personal responsibility is the main benefit; teaching people to look twice at what they do on the Internet. And frankly speaking, if manual user entry is less secure than software that the user does not own from metal to UI, then we need to upgrade the users, not the Web. Demanding a manual entry means that the user is taking deliberate action, not following whatever some piece of software is telling them to be correct.

Yeah this is not at all correct.
They seem to be claiming to have reduced "missed" cases of AKI from 12% to 3%, but it is not clear if this has anything to do with "AI" or is purely a result of improved process/UX/human factors. I'm skeptical of your analysis because there are a lot of practicing doctors who are not anywhere near as effective as a bright third-year med student. If this software and these processes can improve the performance of the doctors we actually have in the field, that could be good.

> We’re so polarized that the federal government doesn’t really work.

I think this idea is best captured in the following chart of the "mitosis" of the congress:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/04/23/a-stu...
I agree with the first line - with the proviso that there are (IMO) trustworthy third parties that have vetted some VPNs (for example, Mozilla's partnership). I also agree that E2E could resolve a number of issues, but I don't think it's practical or useful advice.

Your second line steps toward security absolutism, since it just pushes out the trust boundary one step further and requires even more technical expertise to be actionable, especially in contrast to using a VPN provider.

The advice to only trust E2E encryption is only useful if you trust both the E2E service provider and the implementation, especially where the service provider owns the only compatible implementations, and the implementation is closed source.

The recent observations that FB could, either willfully, or under coercion, completely undermine their E2E implementation illustrates that, in general, solutions that are user friendly, readily accessible, and operating at scale, are subject to manipulation for economic, law enforcement, or political reasons.

Why does it blow your mind? Knowing that would require a fair amount of domain specific knowledge regarding corporate finance, and trading regulations which are a niche topic for the vast majority of folks.

Not to mention, securities regulations vary significantly by legal jurisdiction, and most of the knowledge that people have about how securities are actually traded are informed by soundbites from media and dramatic representations in movies.

Hell, I worked at HSBC in various roles for several years, and took as much finance training as I could while I was there, and I don't really understand a lot of the rules and regulations in the jurisdictions I work in (mostly Canadian and US places).
