Hitbox to make livestreamed game content on the web look a lot sharper with 4K
by Stephen on June 17, 2015
Stephan Jukic – June 17, 2015
Hitbox, the live streaming and communications platform for gamers and the gaming industry as a whole is about to really make online game content look a whole lot more crisp thanks to its latest plans to activate full ultra HD 4K resolution.
According to a report from Venturebeat, the 4K option on Hitbox will be available to users later in 2015 and will mean the beaming of game streams at 5 times the resolution of normal 1080p Full HD to those of us who actually have PCs capable of viewing UHD content on their screens.
Hitbox is also going to make sure that these upcoming 4K streams aren't anything slow and choppy. They will be available not only in 4K but in 4K at a full 60 frames per second. In essence, all of this means that those who do have the right kind of internet connection and a 4K monitor for their PC, or a 4K TV with full web connectivity will be able to run their games at maximal settings and smoothness. Thus, Hitbox has just stuck yet another 4K content option onto the menus of ultra HD adapters with 4K PCs, TVs and smart screens.
Furthermore, the new project from Hitbox offers yet another way by which livestreaming gamers can stand out.
Ultra HD PC gaming is still in its early development stages but it has definitely gotten much easier to manage during the last year. New generations of ultra-powerful graphics processing units have emerged from sources like Nvidia and AMD whose express design parameters are geared straight at making gaming in 4K at high frame rates a real and easy thing, while 4K PC monitors have proliferated dramatically at ever lower prices and increasingly fine-tuned ultra HD specs.
Nonetheless, the actual process of sharing and viewing content from the web from a PC in full 4K and at 60 fps instead of the much slower 20 to 30 fps has been a problem up to now and remains so for many applications. YouTube only recently started offering its own 4K videos in 4K at 60 frames and Htibox competitor Twitch is also technically able to produce 4K video at 60 fps. However, the numerous issues that still surround delivering this kind of video across a web-based stream have done a lot to turn many broadcasters off from taking 4K streams too seriously, so far.
The biggest bottleneck for online 4K streams at high frame rates remains the bandwidth issue and moving a UHD video at 60 fps from source to user screen across an ISP connection usually requires well above 7000 Kbps and can go beyond even 10,000 Kbps. This is problematic not only for many internet connections, it also creates hurdles for many online broadcasters who could be considered "abusive" for letting thousands of different users get their videos at such a massive bandwidth.
Nonetheless, Hitbox isn't concerned and wants to bring streaming quality to whole new levels according to the company's CEO, Mike Klimscha, who wants to see Hitbox become a full-fledged early adapter.
next generation GPUs like the Nvidia TITAN X offer PCs the ability to easily handle 4K graphics at high frame rates
For now, many people won't even pay much attention to the new 4K streaming option. Few users have the type of internet connection necessary to handle it and even fewer potential customers actually own 4K monitors and PCs or GPUs that can handle UHD video at 60 frames per second, but this will definitely change as the year progresses and 4K PC ownership, along with 4K TV ownership are both growing rapidly while new truly 4K-oreinted PCs emerge.

This is the brand new DJI Spark! $399 It's the smallest, most affordable drone DJI has ever built, yet it is still packed with tons of smart features and premium benefits!
I already covered Spark unboxing and first impressions in another post, you can check that out.
Spark weighs just 300 grams (including battery and propellers), and can hit tops speed up to 31 mph in Sport Mode (remote controller needed)! The HD camera captures 12 MP still images, and records 1080p, 30FPS video footage. All of this mounted on a two-axis mechanical gimbal powered with UltraSmooth technology, is not only an incredible feat, but actually works really well in the real world. In one of my test flights the wind was gusting around 15-20 mph. But as hard as the wind was pushing, the video footage remained incredibly stable. I was very impressed.
One of the unique and neat features of Spark is that you can fly the drone with just your phone or tablet. You do not need a separate remote controller (DJI GO 4 App is available for both iOS and Android). The max transmission range while flying Spark with your phone over WiFi is 100 m (262 ft) distance, and 50 m (164 ft) height. If you choose to buy the dedicated controller sold separately (coming soon!), that range is extended up to 2,000 m (6,561 ft) while maintaining a live video feed!
Setup and flying Spark is a cinch! You can be up and flying in about 30 seconds. Not needing to charge and find a dedicated Spark controller is great. My phone is always on me, and it just makes sense to use it as for a quick and easy flying experience of Spark. All I need to do is turn on Spark, connect via WiFi on my phone or tablet, launch the DJI GO 4 App, and I'm all ready to fly! DJI has not only included all their GO 4 app features found in their other drone products, but a lot of other bonus features as well: one-button takeoff and landing, full camera exposure controls, and the Return to Home mode, to name a few. This is a great feature to have and always offers a peace of mind when flying, especially for beginners! If the drone flies out of sight or disconnects, it will automatically come back and land right where it took off. Or you can change this in the settings to "Dynamic Home Point", automatically changing its Home Point to the User's current coordinates based on mobile's GPS – super cool!
One major feature I've come to love is Object Avoidance. Using the front object avoidance sensors, Spark will prevent itself from flying forward into any object. In my testing, this feature worked great and wouldn't allow me to fly forward into any subjects or objects.
The 12 MP camera captures splendid aerial photographs, and the 1080p video looks fantastic! Image quality looks great and the gimbal is very stable, giving smooth aerial video shots. I'm very happy with the results! Not only do I have full exposure control over the camera, but it has cool built-in camera modes, like Auto Exposure Bracketing for HDR photos, Timed Shot, and even Shallow Focus, which creates photos with a shallow depth of field with its 3D vision technology. In addition, In Pano Mode, I select vertical or horizontal, and Spark will auto pan and tilt the camera mid-air to capture photos with enough overlap to stitch together for a dynamic wide angle panorama shot!
DJI has also included smart shooting modes, like Active Track. Active Track will auto-follow your subject and keep them in camera frame, even if that object is moving. You can even tell it to auto rotate around the object as well, while tracking and moving simultaneously!
There are other smart shooting modes as well. QuickShots are perfectly automated flight paths that create cinematic footage for you. After a QuickShot is complete, the DJI GO 4 app automatically generates a 10-second preview for you to check out. You can then edit your shot and share it to social media if you're satisfied with the results. I personally like the Dronie feature which automatically pulls back and away, keeping the user in center frame. For roundabout shooting, Circle keeps a steady distance and height around the subject while flying around it, while Helix lets Spark fly up and spiral around. Finally, Rocket commands Spark to pull straight up and away above your subject.
Another cool new feature DJI has implemented with the Spark is called Advanced Gesture Control. This is where you can feel like a Jedi Knight and control the Spark with just your hands!
To PalmLaunch, face the camera, press the power button twice, wait for the front LED's to turn green, and the drone will slowly take off from your hand. I could see this being very useful if you're on a boat or in tall grass. Another useful feature is PalmLand which is the same idea as PalmLaunch in reverse. With the drone in the air, face the camera, put out your hand, the aircraft will check for a human in front, and then land in your hand after recognition. With PalmControl, you can raise, lower, and rotate left or right and the aircraft will follow your movements. Wave your hand for a couple seconds, and the Spark will auto fly up and away a few meters, then start following you. There are other Advanced Gesture Controls as well, which make flying Spark a truly unique experience.
Overall flying and stability of Spark is top notch. Flight times should give you up to 16 minutes on a full battery charge, and in my testing Spark prompted me to land at around 10-12 minutes. I'm sure I could have pushed this flight a little longer and I could have hit that 16-minute mark, but I highly recommend against this. It is always better to be safe than sorry! In my tests, each battery would fully charge in just about 50 minutes! That's very fast and convenient. In less than an hour, I could go back outside and keep flying!
I love Spark's small and lightweight size. Even though I normally don't enjoy flying drones with a phone using on-screen flight controls, Spark's controls are quite responsive and allow a bit of small accurate flying control. That said, I can't wait for the dedicated remote to be released soon. This will be great to have! The smart QuickShots are neat and work well, perfect for those mountain-top selfies or large family portraits. The front object avoidance sensors worked great and wouldn't allow me to crash.
To close out this review, I think Spark is an incredible drone! It has great build quality, is packed with cutting edge features, and all of this is inside a small and portable form factor at a very affordable price! It's the perfect drone for all of you who were on the fence about spending money on a professional DJI drone experience. This new DJI drone will Spark your creativity and give you an open world of aerial photo and video possibilities!

Washington(CNN) The Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC says five of its most valuable artifacts -- once thought to be part of the historic Dead Sea Scrolls -- are fake and will not be displayed anymore.
CNN raised questions about the museum's Dead Sea Scroll fragments in an article published last November, as the Green family prepared to unveil their new, $500 million museum. At 430,000 square feet, and with views of the Capitol, the Bible museum represents a significant investment for its evangelical founders.
Now scholars say the Dead Sea forgeries could be part of the most significant sham in biblical archeology since the "Gospel of Jesus' Wife," a fiasco that hoodwinked a Harvard scholar and made worldwide news in 2012. Some scholars estimate that as many as 70 forged fragments have hit the market since 2002.
Those same scholars questioned the Greens' fragments even before the museum opened with splashy ceremonies last year, including an event attended by Vice President Mike Pence.
Monday's revelations are not the first time the Greens have courted controversy with their artifacts collection. In 2017, the Green family's company, Hobby Lobby, agreed to pay $3 million and return artifacts smuggled out of Iraq as part of a settlement with the Justice Department.
Steve Green, the Bible museum's evangelical founder and chairman, would not say how much his family spent for the 16 Dead Sea Scrolls fragments in its collection. But scholars say even small fragments with little text can fetch millions in the antiquities market.
Through a spokesperson, Green declined to comment on the news about his museum's five fake scrolls. As to the 16 fragments: 7 will not be displayed, 9 will be tested further. Three of those 9 are currently on display at the museum with signs addressing the questions about their authenticity, the spokesperson said.
On the website, "The Lying Pen of Scribes," scholars and scientists have identified more than 70 purported Dead Sea Scroll fragments that have surfaced on the antiquities market since 2002. Ninety percent of those are fake, said Arstein Justnes, a professor of biblical studies at the University of Agder in Norway, including the Museum of the Bible's.
Davis, who studied the fragments for the Museum of the Bible, said Monday's news about the fakes felt like bittersweet vindication. His takeaway: Evangelicals and others whose faith motivates them to collect artifacts should be very careful with antiquities dealers eager to pique their interest in supposedly ancient scraps of scripture.
"These good intentions that draw from a place of faith are subject to some really gross manipulations," Davis said, "and that is a big part of what has happened here."
The scholar said he believes 2-4 of the Greens' 16 fragments may be authentic, but that at least 8 are fake.
"They made it widely known that they were buying everything," said Joel Baden, a professor at Yale Divinity school and co-author of "Bible Nation," a new book about the Greens.
"Every antiquities seller knew the Greens were buying everything and not asking questions about anything."
In an interview before the Bible museum opened last Fall, Steve Green told CNN that wasn't sure who sold his family the Dead Sea Scroll fragments.
"There's been different sources, but I don't know specifically where those came from."

This study investigated the interactive effect of institutional and individual socialization tactics to affect socialization experience of newcomers. In doing so, first, we briefly performed an overview of the proactivity literature. Then, we developed the research model and tested based on a sample of 148 bank clerk who completed surveys at their early career. The results indicated that institutional tactics affect proactive ones and socialization outcomes positively. Meanwhile, some demographics accounted for a significant part of variance in proactivity. We also found that institutional tactics moderate the relationship between proactive tactics and socialization outcomes negatively. These results suggest the need for organizational efforts to interact with newcomers' proactive behaviors to achieve the appropriate socialization outcomes. Finally, we discussed the study results and concluded with normative imperatives in the form of some implications for practice and several calls for future researches.

Austria sells 5G licences for a song, seeking rapid rollout
Austria sells 5G licences for a song, seeking rapid rolloutREUTERS | March 08, 2019, 08:46 IST
VIENNA: Austria has sold 5G licences to three national mobile operators and a handful of local players, bringing in a mere 188 million euros ($213 million) in an auction aimed at ensuring a rapid rollout of the new technology.
Austria, a laggard in the European Union for fast broadband connections, is among the first countries in the bloc to auction 5G licences. Its first 5G auction is mainly aimed at speeding up data services in densely populated areas.
While the amount the 5G auction brought in was more than the 50 million euros the right-wing government had budgeted for, it paled in comparison to the 6.5 billion euros neighbouring Italy raised in October after a bidding war between operators.
"We want to be a front-runner in 5G," telecoms regulator RTR's managing director Johannes Gungl told a news conference. Asked to explain the size of the bids, he said only that they were where supply met demand.
"We also want this spectrum ... to be fully used and for the population and business to be able to enjoy the greater bandwidth," he added.
The auction divided the country into 12 zones. Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile, Telekom Austria's A1 and Hutchison Drei secured licences in all 12, while four local operators secured licences in up to three zones each.
A1 had the biggest bid with 64.3 million euros, followed by T-Mobile with 56.9 million euros and Hutchison Drei with 51.9 million euros, RTR data showed. The other operators secured licences with bids of roughly 5 million euros or less.
The licences came with a requirement that the three national operators set up at least 303 base stations nationwide as of Dec. 31 next year, rising to 1,000 from June 30, 2022, RTR said.
($1 = 0.8840 euros)

Home/Tech/Tested: these are the best laptops for every type of student | Tech
Tested: these are the best laptops for every type of student | Tech
margaretquarmbyAugust 27, 2021
Now that the school gates are about to reopen, it's time for a new laptop for many high school and freshmen. We take a closer look at three products from the wide range, aimed at three types of students.
Base model: Acer Swift 3
The least demanding students, who need office software such as Word, an e-mail service, some surfing and maybe a dash of Netflix, will get by with a literally and figuratively feather-light laptop like the Acer Swift 3. We chose a 2019 version here to to reach the price below 600 euros, because newer editions of this laptop line are heading towards a thousand.
That two years difference is fine, but older than that you really shouldn't look for it. The idea is that the device will last three to five years, and even if you only use your laptop for the lightest tasks, wear and tear occurs. But given its modest price, you have a lot of value for money with this device. It doesn't run on an Intel chip but on a Ryzen 5 from competitor AMD, but that should not deter anyone. The battle between Intel and AMD is a Coca-Cola/Pepsi story: they are evenly matched in most benchmarks, there is no yawning quality gap between the two.
Our apologies
Unfortunately, we cannot show this social post, live blog or otherwise because it contains one or more social media elements. Accept the social media cookies to still show this content.
Furthermore, this model has 8 gigabytes of RAM, which has become the minimum today. But you also choose this type of device because you definitely don't need it to play on it (although a game of 'Fortnite', 'Valheim' and the like may run on it). Video streaming is possible with some viewing comfort, because it has a Full HD screen.
In terms of screen diagonal, it is a 14-inch laptop (35.56 cm), just an inch smaller than the still standard 15 "(38.1 cm). It takes a little getting used to at first, but it's actually a great format for study use. Everything you expect in terms of connections is also included, including USB and HDMI ports. However, there is no SD card reader, which many users still expect from a Windows laptop.

For creatives: Apple MacBook Pro 16"
You choose a creative direction, and therefore need to be able to edit videos and photos? Then you may immediately – and quite rightly – look at a Mac. However, the choice for a student is rather limited at Apple: the only more or less affordable laptop from the range of this American love brand, the 13-inch MacBook Air (1,130 euros), is not for someone who wants audiovisual digital skills. to learn. In that respect, you are more with the 16-inch version (40.64 cm) of the MacBook Pro: it gives a wider canvas on which to edit your photos, videos or other visual media. Of course you pay a hefty extra price for that.
In exchange, however, you do not only get a larger and more beautiful screen. A pleasantly tapping keyboard, good cooling and a good battery life (it should last more than twelve hours) are some additional reasons to get this device at home.

Gaming Beast: Asus ROG Strix G15
If you are looking for a laptop on which you can play games, the prices can of course immediately go very crazy. There's a whole group of established gaming PC brands – Alienware (Dell), Omen (HP), Predator (Acer), Legion (Lenovo) and so on – releasing devices in a variety of sizes and weights, but Asus has in our opinion the most. varied offer therein. Under its ROG sub-brand (Republic Of Gamers), the Taiwanese manufacturer sells devices that cost several thousand, just like the other brands. But also, for example, the 15.6-inch (39.62 cm) ROG Strix G15, which is available for less than 1,000 euros.
What is there to play for that price, knowing that there are beasts on the market that cost twice or triple that? The big difference, of course, is in the computing power. This model runs on a Ryzen 7 processor from AMD (comparable to an i7 from Intel), but the video card – a GeForce GTX 1650 – is no longer among the most powerful, and was already an entry-level model at the time of launch in 2019. However, it still cracks all the major games currently on the market (we did a quick test with the specifications of the already released 'Resident Evil Village' and the future 'Far Cry 6'). So if you don't think you'll be able to string together too many years of study, you'll still make it until you've graduated.

New season premieres are still going on this week — and the biggest of them has to be the opener for the 47th season of Saturday Night Live, which, for the first time, will simulcast on NBC and Peacock. Owen Wilson guest hosts this week with musical guest Kasey Musgraves. Wilson is fresh off of co-starring in the first season of Disney+'s Loki and stars in the upcoming motion picture The French Dispatch, debuting in theaters on October 22. Musgraves' newest album, "star-crossed," debuted this week at #1 on the Album Sales Chart with a companion film now streaming on Paramount+.
Friday marks the 50th Anniversary of the grand opening of Walt Disney World in Florida. Everyone was familiar with Disneyland in California and how it appealed to the masses around the world. But the idea of a similar type of park on the opposite end of the nation was unheard of in the late 1960s when Walt Disney dreamed up his Florida project. Thousands of acres of Florida swampland south of Orlando were quietly purchased under the names of assumed corporations until plans were eventually made public as construction of the "Happiest Place on Earth" got underway. A special edition of ABC's 20/20 marking the anniversary airs Friday night at 8 pm ET. And the edition will stream the following day on Hulu Disney is marking the occasion with a special category on Disney+.

Share the post "KU likely to defer 3rd year exams by 'Couple of weeks' after facing Protests"
After facing resentment from students for planning 3rd year exams in December, the University of Kashmir may defer the exams by couple of weeks, sources told Kashmir Post on Monday.
The undergraduate students appearing in upcoming final year exams have opposed the KU's decision to hold their exams in the last week of December.
Scores of final year students from different government degree colleges assembled at Press Enclave here on Saturday to protest against what they called KU's "flawed" decision to hold exams in December.
"Our session started in mid week of May this year and later our colleges remained closed in wake of the unrest that erupted in 1st week of July. We have attended our classes for less than two months," the students said.
Meanwhile, Vice-Chancellor (VC) KU, Prof Khurshid Iqbal Andrabi hinted that 3rd year exams may be deferred by couple of weeks. He however said the decision would be taken on basis of the feedback received from colleges.
"College Principals have stated that the class work has not resumed fully in all colleges. So we want students to attend the classes and later appear in exams," Prof Andrabi said.
Meanwhile students demanded relaxation in their syllabus and said their exams should be held in March next year.
"And if they (KU) decide to postpone our exams to March, then our classes should be conducted in our respective colleges from coming week. We are ready to attend the classes in winters as well," the students said.
They castigated KU for asking students to rely on e-tutorials uploaded on university website. "Students can't rely only on the e-tutorials to qualify the exams. We have attended less number of classes in colleges," they said.
The V-C said exams are conducted on basis of the Course Review Committee (CRC) report wherein the Class Representatives (CR) are taken on board before announcement of exam dates.
"We hold exams on basis of feedback given by respective colleges regarding completion of syllabus. Whatever has been taught in colleges will be asked in exams," he said.

Qld's full-size electric bus powered by 100% solar
Sustainability / Leave a Comment
The transport sector accounts for 18.9% of Australia's carbon emissions, so expanding the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is one of the most effective ways to lower these emissions. Global e-mobility leader and bus operator Transdev has now risen to the task, placing what is claimed to be Australia's first 100% sustainably powered full-size electric bus on the roads in South East Queensland.
Transdev has been operating the 39-seat e-bus, carrying 61 passengers on TransLink routes throughout Brisbane and the Redlands, since early 2021, under a two-year partnership with the Queensland Government. The bus is 100% powered by 'harvested' solar energy from 250 solar panels, designed to capture more than 159,000 kWh of local sunshine onsite at Transdev's Capalaba depot each year.
ABB Electrification and its installation partners worked with Transdev Australasia to provide an integrated grid-to-plug solution to support their bid to transfer their fleet to electric. All aspects of Transdev's Queensland depot were evaluated prior to submitting a charging proposal, including analysis of proposed vehicle specification and the number of vehicles being considered, while also accommodating proposed future expansion of the e-bus fleet.
"Given that nothing of this scale had been done before in Australia or New Zealand, having a supplier like ABB that had local know-how backed with international experience was essential," Transdev Australasia Chief Engineer Marc Cleave said.
"ABB is proud to be playing its part in powering the future of public transport in Australia," added Steven Amor, ABB Australia's E-Mobility Segment Lead. "We worked with both Transdev and Australian bus body manufacturer Volgren to develop a charging solution that would enable zero-emission transportation along the bus routes.
"Because buses follow fixed schedules and routes, there is no unpredictability around the range. The anchor decision is the bus charging strategy — because efficient recharging reduces electric bus operating costs. For Transdev, ABB deployed its e-bus ready Terra 124 dual-outlet fast-charging stations that can provide a single 120 kW charge or simultaneously charge two buses at 60 kW [in] under five hours and up to a 300-km range per charge. This solution minimises downtime and improves utilisation of the buses across the planned route."
The new electric buses were built at Volgren's factory in Dandenong, Melbourne, using close to 100 Australian suppliers and almost 90% proportion of local production. The chassis and the 348 kW lithium phosphate battery were manufactured by Chinese company BYD.
Volgren CEO Thiago Deiro said the introduction of zero-emission buses in Australia would have significant benefits for commuters, fleet operators, the health sector and, most importantly, the environment. "The fleet transition to electric buses that we're now seeing will play an important part in reducing transport emissions in Australia and globally, which is essential for the community in so many ways," he said.
"Our goal is to not only make the very best electric bus bodies, but to share knowledge and be part of the solution with international partners like ABB and Transdev."
Transdev was also looking for a digital solution that would integrate with solar-powered panels. ABB's high-power chargers form part of the ABB Ability portfolio of digital solutions. They benefit from cloud connectivity, which allows network operators 24-hour availability of the charging infrastructure to perform tasks remotely, such as monitoring diagnosis and upgrades to maximise charger availability and ensure reliable and efficient infrastructure.
"Our DC fast chargers run on the ABB Ability Connected Services Platform, which employs Microsoft's Azure cloud services to enhance uptime, scalability and operational efficiencies, as well as to provide real-time remote support services," Amor said. "ABB provides EV charging stations and critical EV charging infrastructure components, such as substations, energy storage systems and eco-friendly switchgear. These technologies are designed so that EV charging stations, once installed, will be both futureproof and scalable.
"ABB and Transdev share a similar vision around the potential of e-mobility and transportation to transform society. Our common goal is to accelerate the introduction of emission-free transportation by creating an environmentally friendly bus fleet supported by a standardised, fast, efficient and reliable charging system that will serve Transdev's expanding electric bus fleet both today and into the future."

As a young man born in and living in Pretoria South Africa, multi-billionaire Elon Musk, who is better known for pioneering the battery-operated motor concept, was shunned by the Industrial Development Corporation several times.
His innovative ideas were denied financial backing so he moved to the USA for better support. The rest as we all know is history.
The futuristic thinker, however, took a rather sceptical and worrisome handbrake-turn when it came the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) and its benefits for society.
When a man like that with so much insight into technology warns of its potentially harming effects it warrants notice. Musk warned that its use would foster the coming of a third world war. We have to for such reasons, delve a little deeper into the topic.
We have rapidly progressed from longer periods of Stone, Iron, Industrial, Space, technological/information ages. The world is now apparently fused between the latter three.
We have crept into the age of automation. This despite still dealing with the ravages of poverty, disease and other human imbalances such as the negative impact we have on the earth.
Automation is helping business through software like ERPs that take over traditional back-office finance and operations.
In the IT industry, the Internet of things (IoT), cloud services such as hosted emailing and file-storage and general Software as a Service (SaaS) has made the tasks of IT professionals effortlessly pleasing.
You can therefore, oversee and attend to more pertinent issues and tasks (hopefully not just stream movies and play games on duty), that contribute to productivity.
While seated comfortably, you will be able to now perform tasks such as deploying new software, installing/removing updates on multiple machines/devices simultaneously. All with a push of a few buttons.
In the high-risk investment scene, automation has given traders more room for better research and analysis Thus relieving you from the known stresses and mundane tasks associated with trading.
For many trading houses and brokers, AI has even completely taken over the mundane task of making and executing trades.
If you haven't already, read this great book entitled: The Fear Index (thriller by Robert Harris). Though fiction, it illustrates the use of a machine learning tool using algorithms to help a hedge fund company generate billions for its investors.
The use of AI can lead to costly system-generated errors like the trading error a few years at Goldman Sachs cost the firm $100 million and other cases.
It can still, on a 'micro' level, help free human capital (individuals) from PC-related issues like stress, headaches, backaches and lack of time spent with family and friends.
In the industrial and manufacturing sectors, the advent of AI and automation creates even more of a fear and a concern due to the numbers (staffing) of redundancies it could pose when broadly introduced.
But this would require careful planning to ensure that those blue-collars 'replaced', are compensated. More so, they would need to be incorporated into different areas of businesses.
Obviously, not every task need to be automated or performed by robots. We (as humans) are still required to check-up, inspect and perform quality checks for instance.
We can, as a result, deal with inter-personal jobs that require more empathy like in a Callcenter for instance.
Human resources or getting into corporate social responsibility (CSI) projects that reach out to communities.
Most crucially, policies by governments will need to focus ever so more on job-creation. They now must adopt innovative means of creating jobs or fostering and supporting entrepreneurship that embody creative destruction projects.
Projects like those of Mr. Tesla/Mr. PayPal/Mr. SpaceX have created thousands of new jobs.
As for the use AI in weaponry and military defence systems, the less said the better.
When it comes to privacy and security concerns we can only hope that rogue politicians do not get unregulated access to such technology. In such a case we would only be able to protest and hope we do not end featuring in a real-life James Cameron sequel to Judgment Day.

Taking Visual Storytelling to Another World
Tom Endo | 22 Jul 2009 14:30
Endo's Game - RSS 2.0
The lack of visual variety in videogames will continue to rear its head as more ambitious narratives are attempted. I should be clear that I don't think of visual variety as the large set piece in the form of the next big monster towering over the player, but rather how the game forces us to interpret this set piece. Too often in third person action games, we're given an over-the-shoulder perspective for a character and fixed to it for the entire game. Some will argue that it is unfair to make a direct one to one comparison between Another World and today's 3D action adventure games. After all, the fixed perspective of a side scrolling platformer means there are necessarily fewer challenges to making a control scheme that flows with these changing camera perspectives. Yet, as Jordan Mechner proved in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, if done correctly, the 3D action adventure game can be as tightly controlled and as visually dynamic as the best cinematic experiences.
There are other memorable developers who use the techniques that were popularized, if not pioneered, by Another World. Star Breeze's Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay also comes to mind as a game that used many perspectives to enliven the storytelling possibilities of the FPS genre. However, there are too many other games that are content leaving solid gameplay and decent story as elements mutually exclusive to one another. The observation and planning necessary to properly fuse these two elements together is often ignored, in even the biggest games, because it is a labor intensive effort that may not always pay off.
Call it the Kojima Conundrum - the effort to find that perfect balance between gameplay and storytelling. Hideo Kojima is, perhaps, one of the greatest hit or miss practitioners of the balance Chahi so delicately achieves in Another World. When it works for Kojima it really works, as in the first scene of Metal Gear Solid when players hide behind the warehouse carton and see the camera zooming in to show the tense moment when the guard walks right next to the box Snake has flattened himself against. The moment becomes a face off of stealth that defines the games primary mechanic and the tension it creates. But when it fails, when cut scenes drag on for twenty minutes or more with little character interaction, it's the kind of dead air space that we all dread.
That's the risk developers must surely be weighing when they think about making a game that's discretely broken up into sections of uniform gameplay and establishing cinemas, versus one that's an amalgamation of carefully placed camera angles and visually unique moments of game action. Certainly the former option is the safer bet because if the gameplay is right, players will likely enjoy and recommend the game to others. It will be an experience fondly remembered for a few days and if the mechanics are truly well executed it might even be a classic.
But too often, I think, games quietly bypass the route needed to create truly effecting narrative, the route that pits games against films, with films often blinking first in the showdown. It's a difficult path, one that necessitated a two year development time for Another World and again a six year development time for Chahi's next game Heart of Darkness. But, as more developers follow in Chahi's pioneering footsteps, surely a narrative language unique to videogames will be codified and eventually co-opted into more than just a handful of endeavors.
Tom Endo found his copy of the 15th Anniversary Edition of Another World through Ebay and found it was worth every single one of the 20 dollars he paid for it.

Q: Using 'myClass' as a parameter in Event type in single unit i've defined event type:
TMyEvent = procedure(object: TMyClass) of object;

and in the same unit i have also a class definition:
TMyClass = class(TObject)
    ...
  private
    FOnXXX: TMyEvent;
  protected
    ...
  public
    ...
    property OnXXX: TMyEvent read FOnXXX write FOnXXX;
  published
    { Published declarations }
  end;

If i try to compile i get 'E2003 Undeclared identifier: 'TMyEvent''.
In C++ i would use prototyping.
Is there a way to keep them in one unit together?
Sry, if it is a duplicate, but i really didn't find any information about it.
Thanks in advance,
Peacelyk

A: You would forward declare the class before the event declaration:
TMyClass = class;
TMyEvent = procedure(object: TMyClass) of object;

Then you should include full declartion of TMyClass to resolve the unsatisfied forward declaration.

A: Try to put type before the definition, and it must be in Interface section not implementation:
type
TMyEvent = procedure(object: TMyClass) of object;

Home Leadership THE WATER SITUATION IN BROOKLYN.
THE WATER SITUATION IN BROOKLYN.
The committee on water supply of the Manufacturers' Association of New York, has sent in a preliminary report on the water situation in Brooklyn, which states that public fountains are cut off; horse troughs are empty; shipping is not supplied; street sprinkling has been discontinued; and there is a diminished supply of water in closets in public schools. There is barely one day's supply of water ahead of the demand, and that, too, is of a quality dangerously near the lines of contamination and disease. That is the condition in Brooklyn (the report points out) while only fifteen miles away abundance of pure water is running to waste. Three years ago a contract was made for a sixty-six-inch steel conduit for less than $1,000,000, which would have relieved the situation. Today a substitute contract for a forty-eight inch cast iron conduit, costing over $1,000,000, still awaits the signature of somebody to go into effect, and even after that signature is attached it must be expected that there will be a period of at least six months before any relief will be had, and eighteen months before its completion.
The committee, through its chairman, Charles N. Chadwick, recommends action as follows:
First—To appear before the board of estimate and apportionment and such other proper authoriti es as may have charge of the matter, and demand the appopriation of a sufficient sum of money to complete the repairs to the Milburn reservoir; to provide for the development of such additional pumps or stations in connection with this particular plan as shall be necessary to complete the work properly, in addition to that appropriated for the contract for the construction of the Milburn conduit.
Second—To request the proper authorities to set aside a certain section or tract of land in Forest Park for an additional storage reservoir.
Third—To appear before the legislature in the interest of the repeal of the excessive and dangerous special powers of the Ramapo charter, and the restoration of the water rights of New York city.
Fourth—To support the engineering department of water supply in its legitimate efforts to secure for the borough of Brooklyn an adequate supply of pure water.
Former Mayor Charles A. Scbieren said there was the same cry of a water famine when be was in office, and there was no doubt such a danger existed now. He advocated the placing of water meters in factories, but not in tenementhouses.
The report of the committee on water supply was adopted.
Ten thousand buildings in Jersey City, N. J., are not connected with water mains, and, therefore, do not contribute a cent to the expense of the water department, while expecting fire protection.

By joining Elegant Themes on either the mid-level $89 Developer program or the top tier $249 Lifetime accessibility program, you gain access to every one these plugins.

Gordon Ramsay Sues Montreal Eatery for $2.72M
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is suing his former associate at Montreal's Laurier BBQ restaurant over lost licensing fees and alleged defamatory comments he says were made about him.
Lawyers for the cook filed suit against Danny Lavy for CA$2.25-million (US$2.27-million) in lost license fees after the two parted ways. The suit includes CA$500,000 (US$503,000) in damages for defamation.
Neither a spokesman for the restaurant nor Lavy were immediately available for comment.
In February, Lavy canceled his contract with Ramsay and changed the restaurant's name from name from Laurier Gordon Ramsay to The Laurier 1936.
The lawsuit said the agreement was binding for 10 years but could be dissolved if the restaurant declared bankruptcy or did not make at least $4 million in net sales in the first five years.
The lawsuit argues Ramsay met his obligations under the licensing agreement.
According to documents filed in court, Ramsay says Lavy defamed him in announcing the split in an article published in the "Montreal Gazette" on Feb. 16.
Lavy is quoted in the lawsuit as telling the "Gazette" that Ramsay was `"oo busy to come to the restaurant" and that the celebrity chef's team did nothing the restaurant's staff couldn't have done on its own.
He is also quoted as saying Ramsay didn't understand the owners' vision, gave only minor tweaks to the menu without providing a "wow" dish and didn't do promotional efforts such as appearing on a popular TV talk show.
Ramsay's lawsuit calls the comments "false and defamatory."
The suit also contends Ramsay's name had significant value as a brand.
"Negative and critical public comments regarding the plaintiff could have the effect of decreasing the commercial value of his name and any commercial ventures associated with it."
The Scottish-born Ramsay is internationally known for a string of acclaimed restaurants, popular cookbooks and cooking shows like "Kitchen Nightmares," "Hell's Kitchen," "Masterchef U.S." and "The F Word."

World Knowledge Forum 2020: Interview of Professor Dongchul Cho and Students
06 Oct, 2020 KDIS News Center 674
sns open
Copy to URLURLCopy
This year marks the 21st anniversary of the World Knowledge Forum (WKF), with the theme "Pandenomics Perspective: Shaping New Global Symbiosis," held from 16 to 18 September 2020. This prestigious and honored platform is for knowledge-sharing purposes and for supporting balanced economic growth and prosperity throughout the world.
The World Knowledge Forum (WKF) was established In October 2000, after the 1997 Asian financial crisis, with the aim to transform Korea into a knowledge-driven nation.
Respectable public figures and key persons such as Theresa May, the 76th Prime Minister of the UK; Enrico Letta, the 55th Prime Minister of Italy; Prof Klaus Schwab, Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum; lan Wolff, Deputy Director-General at WTO; George Friedman, Founder and Chairman of Geopolitical Futures; and Daron Acemoglu, author of 'Why Nations Fail' and a professor at MIT attended this 21st prestigious forum.
It was an honor of the Korea Development Institute (KDI) School of Public Policy and Management that Professor Dongchul Cho was invited to be one of the speakers to WKF. Dr. Cho joined KDI School of Public Policy and Management in 2006, possessing a strong and dynamic economics and finance background. He has been in charge of various prominent posts throughout the years, including Chief Economist and Head of Macroeconomic and Financial Policy Department at KDI and Vice President of KDI, in which he led the Department of Macroeconomic and Financial Polices. Here is what he has to say about WKF:
1. We would like to congratulate you on being invited to be one of the speakers at this prestigious forum. What was your personal and kind experience of being a speaker in WKF?
Personally, I am honored to have been invited and to have had the opportunity to spend time with scholars and key persons from around the world. However, from the macroeconomics perspective, it was a bit embarrassing, as we are currently facing an unprecedented pandemic recession, not a recession driven by an economic factor.
2. The topic given to you was 2021 Global Economic Outlook. Could please share with us what your key takeaways were during the session?
The pandemic has affected the global environments in a way that we have never experienced before. I raised three core questions about the global economic outlook during the session. The first question was whether the global economy has yet passed the bottom. I believe it is possible that we will encounter a second or third wave of the pandemic. Nevertheless, the macroeconomic impact of a second or third wave would likely to be smaller than what we are facing now, since no one knew how to cope with the pandemic when it first hit us. As the pandemic prolongs, however, society can eventually manage to adapt with the crisis.
The second question concerned how quick the recovery would be. I believe it will be moderate, as the pandemic will not extinguish soon enough. Although vaccines are expected to be available this year, it may take some time before the pre-crisis health condition is fully restored.
The third question was whether the pre-crisis trajectory of the GDP can be restored once the crisis is over. Economic literature, especially empirical literature, provides a kind of negative answer. Based on previous economies that have experienced a full-scale crisis, such as the Latin American debt crisis in the 1980s, the Asian economic crisis in the 1990s, and the global financial crisis in 2008, the economies did not fully recover the pre-crisis trajectory of growth.
3. For your kind information, 15 KDI School students have been granted the opportunity to experience and observe the WKF discussions. What is your advice for us to be globally competent students?
Students are encouraged to think critically about the messages delivered by the speakers. Do not be intimidated by the names of the speakers. Do not take for granted the views and insights of the speakers. Critical thinking can improve the quality and value of a student.
On a separate note, thanks to Professor Young Chul Kang's initiatives, 15 KDI students have had the opportunity to experience and observe the discussion among the scholars in this forum. Professor Kang is one of the founding members of the WKF. He was in charge of the first inaugural forum and served as the Managing Director of the forum for the first three years. Four KDI students were invited to the KDI School News Center section to share their experiences, namely Altynai Akmatova (MDP), Janet Nyanda Ganu (MDP), Mico Tiu (MDP), and Ayan Tazhibay (MPP). The following are their brief perspectives and views about what was deliberately discussed during the forum:
Altynai: We are currently experiencing a massive transformation. As former United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Mr. Ban Ki-moon pointed out, "we face a gap between government global cooperation solidarity, lack of leadership, so we need to united, it is everybody's responsibility." The world needs cooperation between global leaders, businesses, and society. Since Covid-19, it appears that we are facing negative global macroeconomic environments. To be honest, from my perspective, the economic environment has hit us worse than the pandemic itself. Many people throughout the world have lost their jobs, or their incomes have been deducted due to this pandemic. The increase in the unemployment rate has has negative impacts on countries' economies worldwide. Joining the forum and observing what experts had to say gave me a broader perspective of how global leaders should work together. The world changes people; we cannot stop it. So, we must adapt and make a contribution to achieve peace on our planet.
Janet: What really captivates me is the issue of the challenges and opportunities in this volatile world. It does not matter how the world encounters challenges. What is important is how we look at those challenges and turn them into opportunities and help one another. The Earth is the only livable planet for humanity. It is how global challenges are faced, such as the change of demographics, automation and the changing nature of work, and the retrenchment of democracy, that could be transformed into opportunities for developing dynamic and economic inclusiveness for the 21st century.
Mico: Most of the issues discussed at the forum concern technological advancements and global community. One example is the benefits of artificial intelligence (AI). As far as I am aware, AI has become part of our needs in this digital society. For instance, when we enter our homes, Google can help to turn on our lights, while Alexa can help to start our vehicles in the morning.
Ayan: It was a great pleasure to witness these public figures sharing their thoughts and views, especially when discussing global issues such as Covid-19 and the 4th Industrial Revolution, the impact of Artificial Intelligence on Work and Organizations, and the Future of Mobility. As we are facing global challenges such as pandemics, climate change, and wealth inequality, I believe that technology has better opportunities to shape our future. Enhancing technological innovation could help the global community to become more flourishing, sustainable, and reasonable.

After being named to a number of "Best of 2014" lists including NPR Music's "Favorite Songs" ("1998"), Entertainment Weekly's "Best Videos" ("Gold") and Yahoo! Music's "Best New Artists," Faker kicked off 2015 by performing his hit single "Gold" on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and will perform on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! Outdoor Stage this April. His popularity in the U.S. was cemented when he sold out his spring 2015 headline tour in a few short days. The dates include three nights at New York City's Terminal 5 and a show at Los Angeles' Club Nokia, taking place between his two Coachella weekend performances.
The singer / producer also continues his rise across the globe. Faker recently received five ARIAAwards in his native Australia including Best Male Artist, Producer of the Year and Best Independent Album. He also took the #1 spot on the Triple J Hottest 100 (Australia), and the critics from The Guardian (UK) named him one of their "artists to watch" in 2015, among other accolades.

Aside from the potential for flash trading on finer resolutions... another negative side effect I've found is the paradox that with finer resolution comes the tendency to trade "always on time"; which you'd think would be best... but as it turns out on a low frequency trader... its sometimes better to be a little late relative to the raw signal; so you end up having to build "delay timers" to make 1m versions trade as well as 1h versions; "buy 30 mintues after the cross" etc.
Though when i watch the simple MA's taken for trading decisions then it nearly never the case that the breach comes simply too late. Im impressed you were able to build something out of MA's because the signal comes normally always too late. I believe a big part in your code plays to watch different timeframes, which i found now, in my bot, as a good thing too. But im not convinced when you say that a lower candle is better because the better trades, in my opinion, happen too seldom to be an advantage. Which means more loss than profit. Of course it has an effect for flash trading and bigger timeframes are stronger.
Im no Pro but i think your example happens seldom only.
i think your example happens seldom only.
from the Bollinger Channel. The bot is set up as a 1h script. When the price first becomes out of bounds on the minute... will often not be as good a buy/sell point (relative to the same channel) as when it becomes out of bounds on the hour.
I agree that most MA crosses are "late" rather than early; so this doesn't really apply there. To speed up MA cross trades, I try to augment with MA derivatives "slope" and "concavity"; as well as finer resolution MA crosses; and histograms of convergence aka MACD.

1. Change you air filters regularly.
Replacing air filters regularly does a lot more then just keep the air clean. Having a dirty filter causes your unit to work harder to force air through the filter. Most filters need to be replaced every thirty days to 6 months depending on filter used, location and household. When you do replace the filter don't forget to put the date on the filter so you will know when to replace it next.
2. Keeping the area around the unit clean and free of debris.
It is vital to keep the unit clean and free of debris. It can damage the unit or even destroy it. Don't forget to point the mower away from the A/C unit when doing yard work.
Inspecting your A/C unit is vital to keeping it running at peak performance.


In the Kingston area, 1 in 3 homeless people are youth ages 16-24 - Let's change that together.
Me back in Grade 9!
Hi there, Welcome to my Personal Page!
On any given night over 6000 youth are homeless across Canada, but together we can change this statistic. On March 1st, I, alongside my friends will be participating in the Hockey Helps the Homeless Queen's University Tournament, raising awareness and funding for a vital local youth support agency, the Kingston Youth Shelter.
Hockey Helps the Homeless invests in solutions that ensure fewer individuals and families end up on the streets. They support organizations and programs committed to ending homelessness through housing, transportation initiatives, mental health support, education, health and wellness, training and employment, but we need your help.
In my fourth and final year of particpating in this tournament as a student, I've decided to increase my fundraising goal to $600! I hope I can count on you for your support.
