They are using the haar cascade face detection, which works well for when the person is facing the camera straight ahead. Doesn't work great when the face is at an angle.

This is a disaster. Simply put, this change makes Stripe a nonviable option as an e-commerce payment processor. The modern consumer expects easy, no questions asked refunds. How many people buy a few shirts/shoes of different sizes kn

That is absolutely incorrect. Eventually every account will have to pay, they just didnt get to you yet. You mention $40k/month, that is irrelevant to what is being discussed here, more importantly is what is the amount of refunds that

Yes you are missing something important. Once they've tied the browser ID to your personal account they can track you across all google properties, even the ones that you didn't log into.

I've had success with first using imagemagick to cleanup the image, do some thresholding and then using the latest version (4.1) of tesseract. With tesseract you can also try to experiment with different --psm values for better results

Ffmpeg is an incredible tool. I recently did a fun project where I had a long instructional video file that I wanted to create a bookmark file for based on individual lessons. I used ffmpeg's scene detection filter to find the sections

The good news is that these require a successful phishing attack, which is the number one way of getting hacked. Best to never click on any links in email.

EC2 instance + db instance per customer alone made my jaw drop No, they mention in the article that they were using 30 databases per DB instance. Not sure why they used 30 when the RDS FAQ mentions[1] that for SQL Server you can have up t

If you've ever had to setup an ecommerce site before Stripe was around you'd understand why they get so much praise. Your only options were either navigating the complex and expensive world of merchant accounts or dealing with Pay

You are exactly correct. I saw them do a demo at the Collision conference in Toronto and the process involved going through a lengthy setup wizard about the project and its characteristics.

I think that this should be the only use case for lambdas. They should respond to events and act as the glue between aws services. If you're doing anything that requires a running time of over 200ms you should be using a proper app ser

Many articles are suggesting that she was able to do this due to her insider knowledge, this is untrue and shifts the blame off of C1.

Does anyone know how she gained the IAM role? Many comments mention her exploiting a misconfigured WAF to gain the role needed to access the S3 bucket, but that is not enough detail to understand the attack.

What if you have a lambda with a full admin role that is not sanitizing its inputs? Or maybe it's using an outdated file parsing library (csv/yaml) with a vulnerability. Now your entire AWS account could potentially be compromised

Once a year when I do my taxes I go through every single bank transaction and classify it into a proper column in a spreadsheet. The problem is that my bank provides CSV transaction data for the past 6 months only. But it does provide years

With constant traffic cold starts should not be happening. Also lambdas will stick around for 45-60 minutes before going cold.

No you cant run wordpress directly on netlify since it requires a server with php and mysql. But you can use a plugin that creates a static version of your wordpress site and host that on netlify. Another approach is doing a headless wordpr

The strength of AWS does not come from any individual offering, but from the way the many services effortlessly tie together. Job queues, email/sms services, databases, all available under the same api. Sure I could install my own ope
