Thanks, I've corrected it.

It's not on AWS but runs on a local raspberry pi, but my doorbell signals via MQTT that someone ringed. This makes my security camera take a picture and sends a push notification to a custom made iOS app which shows who's in front

Whoa, why is this downvoted so heavily? It's obviously a joke, and it's funny because Jobs really cared about typography, so he probably would have objected to this.

I'd love to see some sample code. I've tried something similar to detect the postman in my security camera stream, but failed over lots of small technical details. Does anyone know a good tutorial on reinforcement learning that de

May I ask why that makes you angry? I see that you might not understand other people's motivation, but why does that cause this emotional reaction?

Incriminating stuff can be sent to my mail address unencrypted. So I don't even have to use any proprietary messenger to be 'flagged'.

Right, but this is exactly what I meant by "absolute security". I want a reasonable level of privacy so for example Amazon or my neighbor cannot get that information, but I don't care if there /might be/ a governmen

Is absolute security really something that anyone desires from a general purpose instant messenger? The government might read my WhatsApp messages - so what? They have been able to listen to my phone calls for ages. If there's somethin

Most people using this probably have homebrew installed, which makes /usr/local writable for the main user.

That's easy to explain I think: In german "Bank" means "bench" as well as "bank", so there's quite a bit potential for confusion.

You're right, that's what I had in mind but I didn't think this far... Thanks for clearing this up.

Does anyone know if this setup in combination with a camera would work to create a real time color overlay over the mirror image? Or is just white text readable due to the way the light shines through the mirror? I could imagine lots of use

But Safari in iOS9 doesn't have an ad blocker, it provides an interface for extensions to efficiently implement content blocking.

Licensing deals with the movie industry. I don't think Netflix is pushing for DRM here but the content owners.

His attitude played a major role in his ability to convince people. And it is way more time efficient to be rude sometimes, so he had more time to worry about important stuff.

Exactly this kind of service is where the closed Apple ecosystem should excel. Unfortunately, Apple has missed the transition from the Mac as a "media hub" to the cloud. iCloud came a bit late and they fail to keep up with the rapid innovat

Well, actually they are aware of this and they might introduce an interesting concept in iOS7: http://oleb.net/blog/2012/10/remote-view-controllers-in-ios-...

And since iOS 5 there's a shortcut that takes you to the camera directly from the lock screen.

I would guess most employees even give away their passwords for free, by just using the same one for every account they sign up for - you would just need to guess the correct username for their corporate account...

Yes, but Apple never shows the Maps icon in the dock of the iPad in PR photography.

by planb 15y ago
The Maps icon in the dock might be a hint that Apple is finally moving away from Google maps - though this would be a better fit for the next iPhone.

Funny coincidence: I started doing this just this morning (it's 1pm now in Germany) after receiving a 100€ Coupon from Google. Right now I already have twelve referrals, which makes 6GB of extra space for me.

A lot of his arguments are centered around the music industry, but guess what: You can get a high quality, DRM free song with just one click for about $1 today. This makes his whole blog post sound like an uninformed, whiny rant.
