All leading camera brands have on SoC motion detection (Honeywell, Motorola...) and they have ML driven detection on their on premise stream servers. This is going to be a very tough sell.

Nothing in your analysis makes any sense. First, there's no "no pandemic" case. Not anymore. Second, your conclusion says that "politicians choose (1)" but that is not the case at all - almost every country in Europ

I'm from same age group and region as this guy but started computers some 15 years after him. When I've started Uni I had no idea what a mouse is and no concept of files or folders. Today I have no idea what Instagram is and use n

A single person can do whatever and no one gives a F. As to the health authorities - they are acting responsibly. It is in the best of interest to delay, manage and contain the virus spread, even though it's probably impossible to stop

just to make the obvious explicit - I wish your product and yourself success and by no means suggest you're doing anything wrong or not well-intended. btw, normative countries provide plenty of help and support, for free, to young firs

This is indeed pretty depressing. The ongoing disintegration of the normative human society, loss of extended family structures, and escalating segmentation of what used to be a community to different age and class groups well separated in

He didn't make it to the final question: how would you re-find an open window of some app and bring it to front as active window?

That's it. I give up programming and going back to Barista.

I have a lot of questions about the feasibility of projectVesta. What's the best communication channel?

For balance, all big cloud providers - aws, gcp, azure, oracle [0] have pretty similar startup plans. Y$$MV (I'm in full agreement with everything you've written + it's well-phrased and funny. gj!) [0] that's not a typo

I have no idea what's that and why it exists but I like it! The UI is brilliant, and everything just works. Not that it's doing anything as such.

This is indeed a good overview. It would have been a great overview had it started with briefing readers about why (or when) image size should bother us at all.

Well we all work with data scientists and can firmly attest this is just false. They will work with whatever let's them focus on the actual domain problem, or a toolchain they are familiar with, or with something forced on them by org
