You can, but that will require additional work, first you will have to use the search feature of facebook graph api to get the userid of the email address and then finally, get the profile image from that userid using FaceGrab. Now note, wh

Actually, one doesn't need to scrape facebook usernames for getting an image dataset, FaceGrab works with userids as well, so you can specify a range of userids one wants to grab profile images of (e.g. 1-10000), and voila you will get

Hehe, I didn't have that in mind when I made this, I just wanted some images to solve my problem. If you will use these for such tasks, I don't think you will be let off as easy as Mr. Zuckerberg :)

I was taking an AI course in college, so I wanted to identify objects in an image using Neural Networks, I was moderately successful, I will try to improve in future. But, it was fun :)

I think university students should definitely start with older processors, and then gradually change the levels. I agree there is an architectural change in the newer processors, plus the additional cores. But, working with an older process

Hi, FaceGrab lets you download anyone's Facebook full-size profile image from their username or userid without any need for login. It uses Facebook's Graph search. This project was a code sprint. I started it when I needed an imag

Due to the tremendous population growth, and higher standards of living of human population, I think it will be extremely difficult to achieve the kind of dream your talking about. Nevertheless, this dream would have to go through better ed

Oh cool, an in-memory lightweight NOSQL database. In the context of pervasive computing I can see its multiple use cases. A embedded device with limited computing capabilites would be able to store, process and act on sensor data in near re

This looks promising. Does this server architecture also has an embedded API framework which can utilized to create APIs by just specifying end-points? and is there any testing framework integrated for node.js applications?

As it is pointed out, OCaml has support for algebraic data types and symbolic evaluation, doesn't this make it an excellent language for natural language processing? Are there any more examples anyone is aware of?

There is a big list of such projects where people were deceived. They should be hold accountable. This is a positive step towards it.

These projects on Kickstarter or Indiegogo platforms quickly gets overfunded because of the huge amounts coming to the projects from shady sources. If you would look at the backers of some of these projects, you will see a lot of big anonym

But then wouldn't this require a bigger team with vast expertise or a lot of time compared to a more normal approach, and it will only result in marginal performance improvement, which might not be important in most of the regular proj

Yes, I was interviewed at Google last year. This was basically what happened. Sure, they have your resume, I am not sure if they read it throughly, the interviewer didn't even know my major until I told him at the end of the interview

I am speaking from personal experience here, they don't count a lot of factors while rejecting a candidate, you make one mistake on their particular set of questions, you are out. They don't even look at your resumes until all you

In the long run, this could affect Google, but, then again, if they change their hiring policies for better even after long 5 years, the best talent that might had been rejected before would still go to work at Google. So, still I don'

Bingo, unfortunately, this does happen. Happened to me at Google interview with one of the rather trivial question.

Yes, exactly, since it's Google, they can afford to have strong filters which will definitely filter out a bad hire, may be at the expense of rejecting a good candidate. Their policy might expect good candidate to get absorbed in Googl

So, in a way, you are actually running a software consulting/development firm, however, in this case, you just have to manage yourself. Scouting for clients, deadlines are similar to a firm/agency running multiple contracts. I get
