Carrol Walsh invited Matthew to contact his friend on the West coast, George C. Gross, who had a negative of the photo you see at the top of this story, and ten others of the train liberation that he himself took. The words of George C. Gross – Spring Valley, California, June 3, 2001:

“On Friday, April 13, 1945, I was commanding a light tank in a column of the 743rd Tank Battalion and the 30th Infantry Division, moving south near the Elbe River toward Magdeburg, Germany. The major led our two tanks, each carrying several infantrymen from the 30th Infantry Division on its deck, down a narrow road until we came to a valley with a small train station at its head and a motley assemblage of passenger compartment cars and boxcars pulled onto a siding.

Provenance in identity management is breaking out all over, with intense interest in Zero Knowledge Proofs of attributes in many Self Sovereign Identity projects, and verified claims being standardised in a W3C standards working group. Identity has long been over-analysed and authentication over-engineered. “Digital identity” for instance is nothing like identity in real life, and “digital signatures” are very strange signatures.

The reason, I think, is that “hacker literature” tends to be dominated by Lisp programmers, and Lisp programmers tend to be ignorant of applied mathematics. It is tempting to declare that most programming problems “don’t need math”, but this is only true in the same sense that manufacturing, or supply-chain management, or baseball, “doesn’t need math”: advanced mathematics seems completely unnecessary to existing practitioners, but only until someone figures out that a particular mathematical concept is the right way to think about the problem at hand. The second reason I am optimistic about the place of mathematics in computer programming is related: the average consumer has more data than ever before, and mathematics can help to make sense of it, or at least make it more beautiful.

With a little bit of software help (mailing-lists, filters, etc.) all email communication can well-targeted, persistent and searchable. I would use persistent, searchable mailing-list for team communication, and possibly other software and services to get as much as possible from strengths of email. Some conscious effort would be put into helping everyone efficiently manage email (filter rules, etc) and building a culture of efficient communication via emails.

Alavi’s persona is a propaganda operation run by the Iranian opposition group Mojahedin-e-Khalq, which is known by the initials MEK, two sources told The Intercept. Zahiri, who has sources among Iranian government cybersecurity officials, said that Alavi is known inside Iran to be a “group account” run by a team of MEK members and that Alavi himself does not exist. Heyrani, who at one time helped coordinate online operations for the group, named the individuals and a commander from MEK’s political wing who have been responsible for writing English-language articles and tweets under Heshmat Alavi’s name, and shared their photographs and names with The Intercept.

That is why we built jerry.ai to create the easiest experience for our users. Enabled by disruptive technologies, jerry.ai aims for the one-click user experience in financial product offerings which traditionally requires users to fill out long forms. Based in Silicon Valley, we are looking for engineering talent to join our team in Canada.

Day of the Tentacle‘s predecessor Maniac Mansion stood out from other adventure games in 1987, as it still does today, for allowing the player to select her own “party” of three characters, each with his or her own special skills, from a total of seven possibilities. He held to that resolution throughout the rest of his time at LucasArts; his 1990 game The Secret of Monkey Island was at least as good as Maniac Mansion, but it owed its goodness to its writing, humor, art direction, and puzzle design, not to a similar formal ambition. Grossman:

Grossman and Schafer did reuse those elements of the earlier game that amused them most: the mad scientist Doctor Fred and his equally insane wife and son; the rambling old mansion where they all live; a memorable gag involving a hamster and a microwave; a pair of wise-cracking sentient tentacles, one of whom became the centerpiece of their plot and provided their sequel with its name.

We were wondering how much of an impact this could have on people’s lives — so we asked some of our labelers for times when working for Scale made a positive difference in their lives. Living in Venezuela, saved enough money to emigrate and pursue a master’s degree in data science

The great difference between the reality of my life and the life of a person in the United States is the peace and tranquility that comes from economic stability: being able to eat without worrying about running out of money; being able to buy clothes frequently; not having to worry about covering the most basic needs, such as water; not having to worry about transportation problems; and, most importantly (at least for me), is that by working hard and staying focused on a goal, one can achieve the desired objectives. If I did not have a job with Scale, it would have been simply impossible to reach my goal of legally emigrating from my country, which is currently in a political and economic crisis.

#1 Spend my time studying and finding a new job in NYC. It’s nothing new or innovating, a productivity app and a yelp like service working with small businesses. I don’t want to spend 1-2 years working on these ideas only to look up and realized I wasted my time and money.

It’s basically a miniature teleprompter, and you can opt to position the video in such a way that the other person’s image (rather than text you’re reading) appears on the mirror directly in front of the camera. A system called GAZE-2, developed at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, attempted to address this by using multiple cameras in a video tunnel, along with an extra camera that detected where the user’s eyes were looking; software then switched to the camera nearest the user’s direction of gaze and rotating the image on the other end to match. Cameras behind the screen recorded the participants in one location, while ordinary video projectors displayed the images of other participants (in one or more locations) on the front of the screen.
