In its latest privacy faux pas to come to light, Facebook confirmed it built a now-defunct app for its employees that used facial recognition technology to identify coworkers and their friends, CNET reported this week.

It was purportedly developed between 20 adidas campus damen 15 and 2016, a.k.a. pre-Cambridge Analytica scandal and subsequent heightened federal scrutiny, and has since been discontinued.

A year ago to the day, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed HB 6, a gift of a bill to bail out coal and nuclear power. Earlier this week, though, the Republicans that championed the bill are at the center of a major FBI investigation over bribery and racketeering. DeWine initially stood by the controversial bill despite repeal efforts launched by state lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. But now the governor is calling for the HB 6 repeal as well. adidas samba adidas This whole situation is a messy mess that highlights eve ugg mini rything that is wrong with politics, showing how elected representatives are in the pocket of private interests and the power of money $60 million in this case, to be exact . The drama started on Tuesday when the FBI arrested Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder, Ohio Republican Party Chairman Matt Borges, lobbyist Neil Clark, political consultant and Householder adviser Jeff Longstreth, and lobbyist Juan Cespede for allegedly taking $60 million in bribery money from a company the FBI has yet to name. All signs point to FirstEnergy, a utility that got a multimillion-dollar windfall as a result of the bills passage. The FBI is alleging that this group of Republicans funneled money from the company through Generation Now, a dark money group that supported HB 6 and that Householder secretly ran, according to the arrest documents. While the secret corruption is bad, theres also plenty of widespread legal stuff happening right out in the open.

After all of those years of humans holding dolphins in shackles, mocking them with cutesy depictions in the media, and forcing them to do tricks under inhumane conditions at theme parks, the cetaceans may finally have their revenge. Theyre attacking our fisheries. Dolphins are really smart, and like us humans, they need to eat.

When George Lucas makes a suggestion about Han Solo, you listen. That was Ron Howards thought, at least, during the production of Solo: A Star Wars Story. Lucas, who created not just the character Han Solo but the franchise itself, was visiting the set one day and offered up a suggestion on how to change the scene. Its not a spo adidas campus 00s iler, if youre concerned about that. Theres a scene on the Millennium Falcon between Han Alden Ehrenreich and Qira Emilia Clarke that takes place in Landos cape room. In the middle of the conversation, Han hangs up a cape that was off the rack. But Lucas didnt like that. He said, You know, Han wouldnt bother to hang it up, Howard told Variety. So Howard made that change. Not only was it a nice accent on the scene, but it was also a reminder that George created this character and really understood him, yeezy slide Howard continued. He was so reluctant [to offer his opinion], and yet the choice was so right that it was fun to use it.

This isnt a dirty, peeling sticker but a scientific first.

Now, researchers from the University of Chicago, the University of Missouri and t adidas originals donna he U.S. Department of Energys Argonne National Laboratory have developed a way to do it. These images show a series of membranes of gold nanoparticles coated with organic molecules, that have curled up into t adidas campus 80s ubes after being hit by an electron beam. The reason is to do with the way the sheets are made. Gold nanoparticles are connected by a series of oil-like organic salomon gtx molecules, forming sheets when theyre floated on top of water.

But the organic molecules that hold the gold nanparticles together are hydrophobic, so theyre not evenly distributed top-to-bottom across the sheet when the water evaporates. When an electron beam hits the surface, it causes the molecules to create a new bond with their nearest neighbors, but because of their distribution more occur on one side than the other. In turn, theres an unsymmetrical stress in the sheet that causes it to curl or fold. At the moment, the scientists cant tune the distribution of organic molecules in the sheets, so they have no control over the curling. But theyre now embarking on a se

Realtors have a new warning for prospective homeowners: youre being watched. When realtors show houses to buyers, homeowners are now relying on an array of cheap, wifi-enabled cameras to keep an eye on them as they move through the homes, according to USA Today. From simpler nanny cams to more expensive Nest home camera systems, homeowners are increasingly surveilling the people walking through their houses during views. From USA Todays report: In a survey conducted by Harris Poll for NerdWallet this month, 15% of Americans who have ever sold a home said theyve use surveillance cameras to monitor potential home bu nike dunk high yers. And 67% say they would use such cameras if they were selling a home that already had them. Before we walk in the door, I say, Pretend the seller is home or Pretend somebody is listening, one realtor told the newspaper. Because you never know. Its not just for security reasons: Sellers are reportedly using what they hear and see against buyers in the negotiating process. As the realtor explains, if homeowners overhear a buyer enthusiastically saying they love the place, theyll be less likely to budge on the asking price. Further, being overly critical may turn people off from selling. Is it legal adidas campus 00s It depends.

Amazon says the drip of fake positive reviews left beneath a small number of listings, which are often populated over long periods of time so as to appear a little more orga airforces nic in nature, are coming via sites that also infringe its trademarks and are domain squatting in their use of sites that mimic the Amazon brand. Amazon is also seeking financial compensation from those it says are gradually undermining its solid three-star reputation, although with paid positive adidas originals mujer reviews said to cost around $19 to $22 a time, its unlikely any of the perpetrators of this modern crime of misdirection have particularly huge personal wealth piles to draw from.

Loveable, wonderful baby brother Loki. How bad a guy were you, really Maybe not quite as bad as we thought, according to Marvel itself. Some eagle-eyed fans have spotted something interesting, on the official Marvel website: an intere dunk panda sting update to Lokis on-screen bio that confirms a notabl yeezy e fan theory and, in the process, makes Loki seem like a nicer boy than we thought. Thanks Comic Book Resources for drawing attention to it! Its not clear when the website was updated with this bio, or this section of Lokis bio, but heres what it has to say now: Offering the God of Mischief dominion over his brothers favorite realm Earth, Thanos requested the Tesseract in return. Gifted with a Scepter that acted as a mind control device, Loki would be able to influence others. Unbeknownst to him, the Scepter was also influencing him, fueling his hatred over his brother Thor and the inhabitants of Earth. Intriguing. According to Marvel, its official that the Mind Stone, situated within the scepter that Loki used in The Avengers, was not just influencing other people鈥攊t was influencing Loki, causing his turn from ambiguous antagonist in the or yeezy slide iginal Thor movie to full-blown Big Bad in The Avengers. This isnt something thats ever confirmed in the movie itself, but it makes sense. After all, Lokis motivation in that film doesnt fully make sense with his previous appearance.

Microsoft is clearly fond of the ample changes it made when launching Windows 10 back in 2015 because two years after its initial release, the operating system is on its third major update, and Microsoft seems to have nothing truly spectacular to add. Sure, theres Game Mode, which Microsoft claims will streamline background applications so they dont eat up processing power better spent on the apps in the foreground, and yes, Privacy Settings are simpler, so its easier to figure out what youre sharing with Microsoft.

Each of the four pillars of Netflixs chunk of the Marvel Cinematic Universe plays a different role in telling the kinds of realistic, street-level stories that Marvels movies and other TV shows tend to shy away from. But with Iron Fist, theres a lot of room for improvement. Betw asics een Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage and even The Punisher, surprisingly , Netflixs Marvel shows have investigated complicated, powerful stories about racism, sexism, police brutality, and criminal justice reform, all while fleshing out each shows titular hero. The sa adidas samba schuhe me cant quite exactly be said of Iron Fists Danny Rand, who, in the shows first season, repeatedly came across as being the least compelling aspect of the larger plot. There are a number of reasons why the first season of Iron Fist was met with an almost universally negative response, the two most important being that it was both racially insensitive and narratively boring, a losing combination. Its fair to say that Iron Fist began as a show about a privileged white kung fu master going on a lifeless adidas samba og heros journey and beating up a bunch of nondescript people of color conveniently typecast as ninjas and monks along the way. While theres no undoing the past, Iron Fist has the opportunity in its second season to reintroduce everyone to Danny Rand post-Defenders,聽and potentially put him in a position to be the sort of character whose adventures you actually want to follow. The key to making that happen is to take the shows focus aw Jwdf Let s Talk About the Peloton Guy s Whole Water Thing
The rollout for SpaceXs most powerful rocket, the Falcon Heavy, has been handled with a nearly concerning level of nonchalantness. On July 27th, Elon Musk announced on Twitter that its maiden voyage will be sometime this November.

Remember when surfing the web was a treat A delicacy almost. Youd fire up the whatever-kilobaud modem and start the pay-per-minute meter running and read about politics on Salon or whatever. A fun adidas samba time. Thats no longer the case, and Im honestly rotting from overexposure to the online. This week, Amazon announced that all Fire TV devices would now support web-browsing. You can download Silk, the companys proprietary browser, or Firefox for free so that you can visit internet websites on your goddamn TV. Im using a naughty word because Im almost pissed off that Amazon is trying to make web TV a thing again. The only thing holding me back from actual anger is the simple fact that it doesnt cost Amazon much to add a new feature to its already terrific set top box offering. However, it might cost you your sanity. Theres just too much internet everywhere. Every day it feels like I wake up and something else in my house is connected to the internet.

The worst offender is Applebees Build Your Sampler appetizer platter which is packed with 3,390 calories, 65 grams of saturated fat, and 11,650 milligrams of sodium.

Qualcomm is one of the worlds biggest chipmakers when it comes to smartphones, but now the company is setting its sights adidas samba og on the PC market with a new line of chips due out in 2023. During the companys Investor Day, Qualcomm CTO Dr. Jim Thompson announced Qualcomms plans to create a next-gen ARM-based SoC system-on-a-chip designed to set the performance benchmark for Windows PCs, as Qualcomm attempt to make its own PC silicon capable of competing with Apples M-series chips. While Qualcomm has already cr chanclas yeezy eated two previous ARM-based PC chips in the Snapdragon 8cx and 8cx Gen 2, Qualcomms next-gen CPUs are expected to boast significantly better performance thanks to help from Nuvia, which Qualcomm acquired earlier this year for $1.4 billion.聽 Notably, Nuvia was founded by John Bruno, Manu Gulati, and Gerard Williams, former Apple employees who previously worked on the team that helped create Apples M-series chip. And while Williams is currently embroiled in a legal battle with Apple after leaving the company in 2019, Qualcomm s nike air max till seems confident that its recent acquisition will help the company create significantly more powerful chips than ever before. Qualcomm said it hopes to deliver its next-gen CPUs to vendors nine months prior to the chips official debut sometime in 2023.

J.J. Abrams had a lot of fun filming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, putting friends and famous adidas original campus people all over the film in cameos. Some we noticed, others we didnt, but it now sounds like director Rian Johnson may be continuing that tradition on Star Wars Episode VIII. Wed already heard rumors that Princes William and Harry may have cameos in the film, and now Making Star Wars is reporting that Tom Hardy, yes the new Mad Max himself, has a cameo too. Of course, this is a rumor that cannot be confirmed but if its true, its really fun. Potential spoilers follow! According to the site, Hardy plays a First Order Stormtrooper in the movie, much like Daniel Craig in The Force Awakens. Apparently his character sees Finn, aka FN-2187, on a mission. He approaches him, taps him, and Finn is sure hes dead. Hes been caught. However, hes not. This Stormtrooper recognizes him from their times at the academy and congratulates FN-2187 on his obvious promotion to First Order spy. He then lets him go scot-free. The thinking here is that most of the First Order troopers who knew FN-2187 defected all died on Starkiller Base. So Hardys character cant even fathom that Finn isnt still with the First Order. So, is this true Makin adidas campus 00s g Star Wars has a pretty good track record when it comes t adidas originals o Star Wars rumors. It also feels like a very fun, believable, Star Wars-y moment.

Today, our world feels divided. Rony Abovitz, CEO of the infamous mixed reality startup Magic Leap stood awkwardly on a circular stage, surrounded by hundreds of attendees of his companys first developer conference, and first major public-facing event, eyeing a teleprompter, arms behind his back. It feels broken, he said. Our new medium of spatial computing feels fresh. It doesnt carry the baggage and negative uggs skor headlines that are dominating the news today. That, of course, is debatable. Few companies can attract titanic levels of investment, spawn years of breathless, myth-making press coverage, slowly frustrate its own fan base, get slapped with workplace-related lawsuits, and drift perilously towards becoming an industry-wide yeezy punchline without releasing a single product鈥攁ll while retaining a $6 billion valuation.

Truly rousing political speeches are, sadly, few and far between. But those that are a little less ins samba shoes piring can, it turns out, be convincingly written by an artificial intelligence system. Yes, politicians may be a little like robots. Researchers from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, have created an AI that theyve trained using 4,000 political speech segments from 53 US Congressional floor debates. The learning technique uses an approach known as n-grams, which was made famous by Google and searches out sequences of n words or phrases to understand how text is constructed. The software was forced to chomp through 50,000 sentences, containing an average of 23 words, each of which was tagged with political all airmax plus egiance and whether the speaker was for or against the top skechers hausschuhe ic they were discussing.

David Ayer, director of the 2016 Suicide Squad, has taken to Twitter to discuss his experience shooting the film. The upcoming release of James Gunns Suicide Squad film has drummed up old feelings that Ayer needs to get off his chest adidas yeezyslide officially.
