   There's a lot of immigrants in Quebec.

   It is more complex than that. Teaching generally pays way better in Canada compared to the average salary than in the US (especially when pension benefits are included). I have more experience with Ontario rather than Quebec. I would say in

   Yeah there was nothing more irritating than having to pay Rogers $50 after having an iPhone for three years.

   I do wonder if the audience that actually uses stuff like Adblock aren't the type to click ads anyways.

   I'm guessing "icing" is more popular in Canada.

   I'm sure if we had a histogram of clicking ads versus IQ, it would be interesting but not particularly surprising. Versus age would be interesting too.

   Maybe look at Pat Flynn's blog and podcast. He has a lot of info about monetizing.

    I would look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenface The technology has advanced far beyond that, but that was the start where automatic face recognition first became realistically possible.

    Well with regards to the post I answered, some have the idea that you locate certain features like eye corners, mouth corners, etc. and then do recognition based on the measurements between these feature locations. One of the earlier succes

    I'm a research scientist at a face recognition company. From my experience, we don't use internodal distances, we use information from all the pixels.

    On a smaller scale, this can be true for hiring decisions too.

    I do around 6 TATL flights per year and I often notice it although the intensity varies. On short flights on the Eastern seaboard I never seem to have the same problems.

    I wonder if part of the Dorset disappearance was due to Viking pathogens.

    I'm sure if you could make a graph of IQ versus the amount of Google Adsense ads clicked it would be interesting to say the least.

    There was somebody complaining about a shortage of software workers on the Buffalo subreddit recently. When prodded he admitted he was offering $35K a year.

    As a researcher at a face recognition company, this is interesting, although the fact that algorithms change pretty frequently makes me think the work is quite ephemeral. Also I'm wondering if he's heard of liveness detection.

    That's a lot of inbreeding from a single pair.

    As a researcher at a company that makes face recognition software, beards don't make a big difference.

    Does anyone know how much it costs to have a job applicant do the Wonderlic test? I have a small side business with a friend that has one employee and we're about to hire another one and have long been curious about using the Wonderlic

    The best public source on recent face recognition performance is NIST's latest tests: http://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/ig/frvt-2013.cfm

    Is there anything to back this up? In my experience comparing startups to non-profits, people working for non-profits don't tend to get much done and have a phenomenal number of meetings.

    Not to denigrate the techniques used here, but it is interesting as a computer vision researcher (face recognition in my case) how important good labelled training and testing sets are. Some of my successes over the years have come more fro
