I didn't realize that. Got my passport long ago, and for the driving license I'm sure they just took a picture. There was no scan (atleast nothing like the laser scan described by bsenftner above).

Do you have any papers on your work? Would be great if you add a link to them.

Does anyone know how this can be technically achieved? Large scale face recognition with 1 photo per person in the training set?

Maybe have a common pool of resources from which they draw from. That would force the "weaker" companies to compete more or pivot to create better products.

Cool project! Here are a couple of suggestions which may help me as a user better understand the "breaking events, popular trends, cultural attitudes, and individual expression": 1. If photos have a hashtag, display it alongside a

I imagine production servers would run monitoring processes to remove such "listening bugs".

Exactly. Page and Brin cite some papers (or atleast Kleinberg's paper does -- which inspired Pagerank) which deal with ranking authors based on their citation graph. This article makes no sense whatsoever.

That was shot down quite fast. I would give them a few months before making such a judgement.

I loved the inter-lingual web page linkage visualization project. Any idea why Traitor won the contest? It seems very similar to regular "create inverted index with map reduce" problem, or am I missing something?

Good crawlers should typically avoid wikipedia links, to avoid the number of HTTP requests on wiki servers (and keep their costs down), esp. because they make available whole data dumps for download through a separate cheaper channel: http

Congrats! The photos didn't appear correctly aligned though -- some 70-100px "whitespace" at the right edge of the screen. And resizing the screen removed all content. edit: I'm using Firefox v22 on Xubuntu.

Oh wow! This is a great write up on Godel's work. Anybody who even vaguely cares about fundamentals of computer science should definitely give it a read, and if possible a thorough read. Slightly related: Although a more technical&#x2F

Swiftype is a site search engine. The title makes it sound more like a generic web search engine.

If it makes you feel any better, their publication[1] reports low accuracy on a popular dataset called LFW (which stands for Labelled Faces in the Wild). Most face recognition technology works very well on mugshots. Frontal Faces -- with al

That sucks so much. I read her Design Patterns book when I was doing my undergrad in Electronics. The lessons in that book are somewhat of a 'commandment set' for me. Its terrible what she has gone through. Feels like hearing abou

I find it very interesting how the fact that making the rules of the game "obvious" changes the way people approach. If you think about it, almost all content on the internet follows this rule: share-or-die. But here, after slappi

No need to apologize. How do you factor in relationships (between objects)? I feel that with the different kind of relationships between objects, the kind of operations would change, and therefore different paradigms would provide different

I do agree with bluehex: an example would definitely helped. It seems you have a new perspective on the topic, which is great but the current version sounds more mystic than informative. Here are one most confusing thought: Why are you brin
