Please stop calling such measures circumvention. It's no different than Implied Consent laws. Law enforcement and criminal justice officials who employ such methods with the clarity of language afforded by the Bill of Rights are in open rebellion against the Constitution and the will of the people. It's not circumvention, it's treason.
I was going to make a comment about people hiding pico projectors at odd angles to produce Pepper's Ghosts on the glass. Now I know what they should project.
Nobody wants to consider that Twitter overall hates Trump, but knows they could serve the nation as "Exhibit A" during an impeachment trial? Bonus, there is traffic revenue to be made while making the nation aware of what an imbecile the guy is along the way.
Why do you think Hollywood is expelling people regardless of evidence or severity of sexual misconduct right now. The people were probably wrong in most scenarios, but this is leftist fascism in the speed and unity of response.
They're targeting rendering work and other very parallel workloads. I am surprised they are doing modules with 2-4 GPUs as well since a lot of that work has moved that direction (especially 3D rendering). Plus, if they have a workload deficit, just just load up some cryptocurrency mining.
Living in Texas, I have a friend who is in the process of selling his mining rig, not because it wasn't profitable, but because with just 6 GPUs in a 1500 square feet apartment, the AC kept failing to keep up.
Facial recognition. Facebook has proven it has excellent facial recognition, and in my own testing, will even recognize people in scanned / old photos from long before FB existed.
Given that people a) gravitate towards similar looking people (dating, marriage, friendships) and b) are related to people who look more similar to themselves -- it makes sense FB is going to recommend friends who the person might be interested in or related.
On Samsung phones, you can leverage Knox to get device administration without root. Adhell notably uses Knox and in addition to ad-blocking, it also allows freezing of preinstalled crapware.
All of that said, obtrusive ads should be subject to similar laws as the "do no call" list. A $500 fine for each infraction of a "do not advertise" list would go a long way.
On the flip side, Netflix never loses contributing value of IP. If they shitcan a show after a season or two, that's fine. People who like it might be disappointed, but it doesn't disappear into a canceled show void. This allows the content to be enjoyed by new viewers many years after the show was killed off.
In the major networks model, they lose all investment when a show fails to reach syndication. Heck, their smart move now might be to offer the shows to Netflix as freebies.
Speaking of which, can we get a meter for Kickstarters which fail with statistics based on category of Kickstarter, amount paid, and peer projects success / failure.
If writing more code to generate true 3D data from two cameras is too much work, then those companies shouldn't be in the automated driving industry.
As I have said many times before, the software must be gnostic, knowing what is ahead and with all sensor suites agreeing on what is ahead within overlapping resolution scopes. This is non-negotiable and should be subject to regulatory scrutiny / testing for level 4-5 automation.
Amazon Prime Video is not as much a direct competitor to Netflix as you are trying to represent. Prime Video is a knockoff geared towards upselling. It's primary purpose isn't to be a streaming video platform, it's a false flag freebie for people who want fast shipping free.
Once you understand this, it's easy to see why Prime Video's UI is so atrocious and slow on most platforms. It's the afterthought.
That is the stupidity behind direct democratic voting. In a sufficiently large system (e.g. The US) special interests and factions (parties) will control the options, robbing all power from the populace. It applies equally to stock ownership. Special Interests (read: activist investor groups) and the company board (parties) control the debate and more importantly, the available options. Democracy is overrated bullshit at scale, just like every prior system of governance (e.g. Communism works great on the small scale).
It's ridiculous the people trying to pawn the problem off on the ADA, politics, politicians, or the deaf people complaining. The problem is that universities jumped on this bandwagon of minimal effort, low production, record the classroom with a webcam bullshit as a means of advertising and it is biting them in the ass. Realize that universities aren't putting content online out of altruism, but as part of advertising and brand building.
All of that said, it's even more retarded bullshit that a university is going to pull the content when a cheap scalable solution exists: automated closed captioning and OCR of projector / blackboard material, which can then produce output for braille. There is a solution and it is cheap, why is this even a discussion? Will the output be buggy, sure, but in the intervening time before grad students can be enslaved to tweak transcriptions, it's workable.
On the other side of things, the universities know their legal requirements, and they already know from experiments like The Feynman Lectures on Physics to know that transcription is a huge chore. Easy fix: put the prof's notes online with the lecture.
I hope the "fake" recyclers at least have the good sense to yank the copper from around the tube and flyback and smelt that for extra cash. Some CRTs have a quite substantial cash value in copper, it's just disposing of everything else takes it net negative.
Linux certainly did NOT win the smartphone war. Firstly, Android is built to use the Linux kernel because hooking deep into the kernel is easier than it should be (hence bugs like stagefright) and because Google doesn't have to pay for Linux. The Linux / GNU stack is vaguely available but mostly unusable on Android. Android could be ported to any other kernel that is similarly hackable / easy to kneecap security and kernel / HAL / userspace partitioning as Linux. As for iOS, it co-opts the BSD Mach kernel in a similar manner.
This is essentially a 2^n + 0 or 1 formula which describes all natural numbers. Using 4 as a placeholder (2^2) is just lame, but the character of operations is the same.
I buy products when and where I want / need to. I don't need a personal relationship with the establishment or increased communication from the entity. In the cases where I do have a personal relationship which drives my desire to purchase goods / services, the relationship is with a person or people (e.g. my favorite bars).
What does drive me to going to a different competitor are advertising / marketing methods I find any of the following: invasive, absurd, immature, over the top, lacking in class, offensive, over budgeted, unethical, and others. I vote my pocketbook against vendors I dislike rather than for a particular or special one.
I don't need product offers in the first place. The idea that I need to be offered products that I am not already researching prior to purchase is intellectually insulting, and part of the the consumerism + marketing driven problem. You remove value from the interdependent system of producers and consumers and increase the cost of products.
Color me shocked! Shocked I say. It blows my mind she has an entire history built around how amazing she is to hold so many high positions as a woman, but it doesn't take much work to see, it's a history of failures and exceptional levels of mediocrity. I don't know why the democratic party an their insiders keep backing her and getting her jobs.
Well, I would argue quite strongly that the research premise is flawed if they don't start by filtering responses by frequency and nature of sexual contact.
Can't give up something you don't have. Or in the Captain Tightpants parlance, "Can't miss a place you never been."

Seriously, nuclear waste from WWII? Sell little fragments of that shit as keepsakes in a special decay absorbing Lexan.

So people responded that they prefer to communicate in the inverse order of effectiveness and efficiency.
If it was actually as close to new price as you bullshit, buy new and vote your pocketbook into the economy, otherwise shut the fuck up.
The used car market is awesome because it's 30-60% the price of new and the reliability has skyrocketed.

When Hadoop arrived on the scene it had the exact smell of typical programmer make work projects like Ruby and SEO.

Keep in mind a lot of BAC tests have falsified data from the labs. The driver could have been stone sober.
