   I think it was flagged because the original article was posted back in March[0] and this is viewed as a reposting. However, the article has been updated and I think it's perfectly fine to re-post something from over 6 months ago. I c

   I think you're looking for something like the pHash[0] library. I've used it in the past for thumbnail generation and it works very well. [0] http://phash.org

   You could possibly use a perceptual hash[0] to compare images. While building an image processing application I used the pHashion library to compare thumbnails to their originals to make sure it still looked "the same" to humans.

   I think hashing pictures and storing the results to compare with future uploads is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. This is the same thing that is done with CP pictures and for much the same reason. The only thing that makes me nervous

   @dang, can we get the title changed for this story? The original was "Facebook’s testing a new method to prevent revenge porn that requires uploading your nudes" which seems more descriptive and helpful.

   To add fuel to your fire, I've personally been exposed to supporting the DC infrastructure in multiple companies and let me tell you, it's no picnic. The time and money we spent on maintaining the system was outrageous. Getting v

   Agreed! However, I must note that Netflix doesn't use AWS (or any cloud provider) for streaming content. Everything you're watching on Netflix is streamed from one of their own NAS boxes located in or around your ISP. AWS is us

    I looked into using their Enterprise product for my employer about 6 months ago. It seemed to be a nice product but was shockingly expensive compared to its counterparts in the space. Also, when they say "enterprise" they meant

    This Joel On Software article[0] is my favorite work on compensation. It details a ladder system that exposes everyone's salary as well as the requirements to move up. The lack of individual bonuses is an interesting twist and I&#x27

    I've always assumed that if Apple was really serious about the TouchBar they would have created an external keyboard with it.

    I was thinking the same thing. If they don't it might be time to replace my Airport Extreme. I love it and it works flawlessly, but if they don't provide updates it's worse than not having WiFi at all.

    When the new MBP was introduced a year ago a big part of the demonstration was targeted toward professionals and how they would use the new Touch Bar. Where is the Touch Bar for this professional machine? The new keyboard would be a perfe

    I'm ready for wireless charging. My current phone (Android) get's a USB socket full of pocket lint every couple of weeks. Once that happens the cable won't go in properly and I have to spend a couple of minutes with a sharp

    This is some pretty outstanding insight. I work with middle school kids to get them excited about computers and programming and it's amazing how many of the ones that "get it" are not the ones you would pick. Frankly, I thi

    I'm a native of Louisville, KY and while I was excited to see them on the original list of cities, I can understand why it might not make it. To me, Louisville is a great place to live; we are average in almost every way possible. So

    I've always thought it curious as to why AWS requires people to relocate to one of their offices. My understanding was that one of the major benefits of the cloud (aka AWS) was to free companies from having to hire locally.

    Not necessarily. Back in the day I generated thumbnails for lots (and lots) or very large images and getting the best performance is tricky. Most of the time running multiple processes just ends up causing massive context switching and sl

    I would assume that it's something developed internally at Amazon. Networking inside of AWS isn't standard fare and I doubt something like NetScaler or F5 products would be able to be used. Generally speaking, they aren't u

    I don't know if I can take the new Nest E seriously. The video talks about how they took a display and put frosted glass over it so that you couldn't see it very well just sounds like something the Onion would run. I guess it mi

    I think this is a great idea and would go a long way to changing my opinion of the Touch Bar. Has Apple actually made strides to using it as a U2F device?

    Exactly! It's been months since the new Touch Bar MBP was released and there are still no keyboards that offer the Touch Bar experience. Does Apple not realize that quite a few people use external keyboards? I'm thinking that A

    I'm in the same boat. For the first time in a long time I don't want to upgrade my MBP. For as long as I can remember I've always lusted after the next big thing; now I'm just hoping my laptop doesn't have any p

    I agree, however I do think it's nice to be able to upgrade your system without having to take it back to the manufacturer. I can't afford 16GB right now but in a year or two I can install more RAM and continue to use the compute

    It doesn't surprise me that the new MBP with touchbar is selling well; there really isn't an option if you want a large(ish), desktop replacement machine. I bet if they had one with and one without it would be a different story.
