These libs assume the angle is the same, i.e. square shot of the face. Cameras mounted up high are completely useless with these types of libs. Unless the tech. exists to magically rerender a front face shot so you can image how it would lo

I read the summary, and I don't agree. The tests being done are used under special circumstances. No way a camera mounted 12 or 14 feet up at an angle is going to provide the same type of results as youtube videos which are at a flat a

Yah, one only needs to use drug dogs as an example here. It is a known fact the dog can be triggered to claim a hit etc... and somehow in most states a dog doing "something" is sufficient justification to have your vehicle searche

I don't know too much about facial recognition technology (I work more in the ALPR space), but I know enough to tell you that a single photo is not enough to train the software to do anything useful. Either they were sold a dream by a

I second this, Debian is the professionals stable platform. Never does an update leave me F*%@, as I've mentioned in this same thread I'm a Devuan guy (sorry to be repetitive) but I simply cannot get down with systemD - maybe I am

Running Debian, and in my case Devuan never leaves me hanging. Ubuntu and similar distro's often break everything with a regular update. Thanks for your hard work, a huge fan for 20 years+!!!

Great job Debian team, personally I can't wait for the Devuan fork based on this release.

I was no aware the UK does not require that you carry ID. I'm not sure how I feel about that law, in my experience most of the world requires you to carry ID. I don't see it at all unreasonable that an adult be required to carry I

I assume - I don't know, but my guess is the 81% are simply quickly stopped asked to prove their identification. Once they show their drivers license or any other basic form of ID that proves they are not the suspect they are free to g

Right, I made this point kinda of in another comment. It really depends on how you want to frame the conversation. I agree with the general argument that randomly stopping and questioning people because a computer hit sucks, but knowing UK

On the surface this sounds bad, real bad. However on the flip side it means they found a number of criminals they would have never found otherwise. Hopefully they can tighten the false positive ratio dramatically but this technology for all

Good point, if I remember correct it was almost all europians on that particular flight. With your new point it really has me wondering why they valued a life at $240k, or really why they would even bother with this fund at all?

Let's not forget where the two max's crashed. Ethiopia and Indonesia. Some bean counters already decided the value of a life in these, "shit hole countries." I wouldn't be surprised if they literally took the cost o

The cancellations haven't officially taken place, but you can be damn sure everyone other than committed 737 fleets like Southwest have unofficially already cancelled their orders of MAX's. Air Canada is the perfect example, it&#x

$100 million sounds like big bucks, but really to think their one day be proven to be criminal negligence ... they think they are getting off free almost free... $289,017 a person just doesn't cut it, or even come close to covering the

No idea why your comment got flagged. You made a legit point here. CloudFlare is a highly over rated service that shouldn't be trusted. Not to mention their bait-and-switch billing practice should be the only thing anyone is talking ab

Lutris looks cool, given steam using Proton or whatever it is called is there an advantage to using this today? Thanks for educating me!

I'm one of them, and I'm a 2018 model! My serial number is not covered. The best part is since I live in Central America there is no apple store here, and the official resellers told me I must take it to the USA where I bought it.
