That's been less effective lately, so I've also added an HTML5 autoplay blocker. It's fairly effective. Not sure how much it prevents from loading to save on data, but at least it prevents being halfway down the page reading and suddenly having noise come from the speakers.
I'd love to, but after I click the link, I get another link to "try" it. Clicking this link still gives me no joy, as now I need to find a server or something? Ok, lets see if there is one for my country, USA. Nothing on the popular list. Guess I should try the complete list. Oh look, no way to search. No suggestions on what I should be doing.
Whatever, I could spend my time and energy figuring the rest of it out, but there is no way I am going to convince my girlfriend this is a good idea.
This is why Slack is taking the world by storm - the chat window isn't all that good (in my opinion), but the onboarding process is buttery-smooth and completely frictionless.
There is zero risk of the deal falling through because the buyer's mortgage fails. In booming markets, people will make offers and then find they can't actually get a mortgage for that amount. For example, sometimes the bank will refuse the mortgage if the house doesn't appraise close to the value of the offer.
As a former CAL student, I am saddened to read about this.
I didn't have to take Math 1A or any math course for that matter, but I did have to take an AC course per University requirements. I wasn't looking forward to it.
I ended up taking the Southern Border with Professor Shaiken. That was by far one of the most educational and interesting courses I had taken at CAL.
I too would like to see the University's side, but I am inclined to believe they can't respond for legal reasons, and if they could their response would be far more vanilla then Prof. Coward's side.
It's not really a competition. Yet. Anyway, I think you're missing the point. There's a great mystery here. How can the human mind do this? "Facial recognition software managed to identify one suspect of the 4,000 captured by security cameras during the London riots. Constable Collins identified 180". And dollars to donuts Constable Collins used a fraction of the energy too -- maybe even a just a donut's worth -- he is a copper after all.
Indeed. My first thought was "Are tech companies trying to poach these folks in order to try and deconstruct what cues they're using, and/or to create a corpus of verified matches from low-quality source?"
I think the most interesting point about this is that the human mind doesn't know how the human mind does it.
I wonder what kind of software they compared to Constable Collins. Did that software use designed features or learned features? What sort of data set was it trained on?
It wouldn't surprise me if current state of the art software that learns features from real CCTV footage fared a lot better than what they were using in 2011.
I'm sure his false positive rate is zero, and that he's never caused an innocent person to be arrested or imprisoned. After all, he's in the top 1% on a test designed by people from Harvard. Yes, Harvard. Thank the lord that once a policeman's fingered a known criminal, a jury will never disagree with them. I bet his conviction rate is stellar.
They named a person in the article based just on this police officer's word. He might never be able to get a job again if this article stays on the first page of google hits for his name. Who knows if he's the same person? Is there anything else it could be based on?
Not any easier than it already is. There are tools like Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET) that make it dead simple to launch all sorts of phishing attacks.
