5 Reasons to Be Terrified That Computers Can Now Read Faces
#2. Dating Is About to Get Really Creepy
You know what the dating scene needs? Total transparency. If you're a young, single lady, wouldn't it be awesome to walk into a club and have the club instantly know everything about you, and to transmit that information to all of the dudes in a 5-mile radius? And for them to then instantly have the ability to know where you live and work? We mean, it's not like there are any douchebags still left on earth.
First, nightclubs and venues can now use facial recognition cameras mounted at the entrance to detect the female-to-male ratio of their clientele and send the information straight to an app called SceneTap. And the makers of the software have bigger plans for it -- a recent patent application filed by SceneTap describes a system that will one day be able to tell race, height, weight, attractiveness, hair color, clothing type and the presence of facial hair or glasses. And it doesn't stop at just helping you avoid hipsters -- they're also interested in trying to tie this app in with social networking websites and databases to determine "relationship status, intelligence, education and income for the entire venue."
"Douchebag Saturation at 81 percent and rising. Break out the Pabst."
And once the dudes flock to the club where they know all of the ladies of a certain demographic are hanging out (or vice versa), a surreptitious phone pic of a hot girl's face will give a guy everything he needs to know. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University figured out that from a random photo of a guy they were able to learn his real name, his private information, even his Social Security number, from information available elsewhere online. From there, it was a snap to create an iPhone app that could do it on the fly -- take a picture, and a few seconds later the screen displays his name and vital statistics.
Hell, you don't even need a real photograph. Law enforcement has new algorithms that they can use to figure out your identity from just a sketch of your face. So you can only hope that the creepy guy at the bar who you gave the wrong phone number to doesn't have access to a cellphone with a camera, or even any level of artistic ability. Otherwise you may get a strongly worded letter in your mailbox stapled to a dead rodent.
"About that drink ..."
#1. Businesses Will Know Where You Are, and Who You Are, at All Times
Of course, retail outlets already have cameras set up all over the place to stop you from stealing their shit, but what if there's a way to use them and facial recognition software to spot you and then spam you with sales messages once you're through the door? Of course, to make that work, the software would need instant access to some kind of huge database of customer photos and personal preferences. And where would they ever find something like th- oh, right. Facebook.
And thus we have apps like Facedeals, which snap into action whenever someone with a Facebook profile passes in front of their cameras. The software runs your face through its database of "tagged" Facebook photos until it figures out who you are. Then it checks out your "like" history to find out what you're into, and sends coupons to your smartphone before you even realize you've been spotted. Oh, and it also "checks you in" automatically so that everyone in your friends list knows which store you just walked into. And really, who doesn't want businesses to track their every move on the off chance that it might get them 20 percent off on a pair of shoes?
It's a small sacrifice for this level of comfort.
Of course, this is still an opt-in service right now -- you have to download the app. But from the businesses' end, that's purely by choice -- there's nothing in the law that even requires a company to tell you it's using facial recognition software on you, let alone using it to market stuff to you. In America (and most countries), there is no right to privacy when you're walking around in public. That's why advertisers can do things like install cameras in billboards to gather useful information about the people looking at them.
But businesses also want to know who the bad customers are. For instance, do you have a reputation for partying too hard? That's a shame, because another app called BioBouncer records the faces of bar patrons and matches them against known troublemakers. Imagine getting into a screaming match with some asshole at a bar, only to find that you've now been instantly blacklisted from every bar in town.
"No, I just need to take a crap and then start a fight!"
And if you think you can just put on a disguise to fool the system, keep in mind that the people working on facial recognition tech aren't stupid -- they know that you're already thinking of just slapping on a fake goatee and some sunglasses and disappearing from the grid. That's why researchers at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton have come out with an algorithm that can account for shades and novelty facial hair. In this dark future, once you're banned from Hooters, you are always banned from Hooters.
Or, you know, an oppressive government could also use it to track dissidents wherever they go. But we wanted to keep things lighthearted.

7 Beloved Celebrities And The Awful Sh!t You Forgot They Did
#3. Marvin Harrison is Terrifying
Lest you think we hold our athletes to a higher standard, Marvin Harrison is a future hall of fame wide receiver who never really made waves the way other pro athletes tend to--say, building a car out of pot. He has always been quiet, classy and professional on the field; the picture of what the NFL and its white, middle-class fans want out of their athletes.
Anyone who'd imagined Harrison and his quarterback Peyton Manning palling around in the off-season was surprised to learn last year that Harrison was actually more like all the characters Denzel Washington has played since Training Day.
The Incident:
Dwight Dixon, resident of Philadelphia and therefore an ex-convict, got into a fight with Marvin Harrison. After Harrison allegedly kicked the shit out of him, Dixon fled in his vehicle. Harrison was not finished though, and allegedly began shooting at him. And not just with regular "I'm a little dissatisfied with your behavior" bullets, but with bullets that can pierce 48 layers of fucking Kevlar, also known as "I want you and people the next town over to be dead" bullets.
He reportedly shot Dixon in the hand with said superbullets, but also hit another bystander in the back, and hit a car with a two-year-old inside. He was just like Gary Busey in Lethal Weapon or like Gary Busey in real life.
A whiter, saner Marvin Harrison.
The Fallout:
We say "allegedly" because, while the bullets found at the scene were indeed from Harrison's gun (according to ballistics reports) and Harrison was at the scene and had motive to shoot the guy, the cops have yet to prove whether or not it was Harrison who fired the weapon. This means that the cops believe it's possible for somebody to have stolen Harrison's gun to shoot at somebody that Harrison wanted to shoot at, like some kind of NRA guardian angel. Or, Harrison simply handed the gun to a friend and said, "I'll give you five bucks to shoot that dude over there."
Because of conflicting witness statements, the district attorney decided not to file charges. However, the man shot in the back did state that it was Harrison who shot him, and is now suing him. Presumably he'll be going to court in 49 layers of Kevlar, just in case. Especially after a feature story in ESPN Magazine painted a portrait of Harrison as a mini-kingpin, buying up tracts of land in his old Philly neighborhood, strolling around the premises armed to the teeth and flying into a violent rage when anybody invades his space.
Not So Lucky - OJ Simpson
You might have missed it when it came up on the news a few years back, but OJ Simpson was actually put on trial for the murder of two people. Like Harrison, things panned out in Simpson's favor and he ended up a free man, with the victims left to seek restitution in civil court.
Unlike Harrison, the remainder of Simpson's life will be defined by the fact everyone on Earth believes he's a murderer, regardless of what the criminal justice system said. Everyone believed it the moment the story broke. The lesson? Always cooperate with the cops, like Harrison did. Running away in a white Bronco with a bag of cash and a fake beard just makes you look guilty.
#2. Chuck Berry: Amateur Voyeur
Chuck Berry is one of the greatest guitar players of all-time, and one of the inventors of rock music as a whole. In 1990, he was also sued for being a huge perv.
The Incident:
Having made all kinds of money for being music legend, Berry decided to buy a few restaurants. Then he decided to buy some video cameras. Then he decided to install those cameras in the ladies restrooms of his restaurants so he could watch some sweet, sweet urination. Then he got the shit sued out of him by nearly 60 women.
Of course, Berry denied that he had any knowledge whatsoever of the cameras, and that if cameras were indeed found in the bathrooms of his restaurants, somebody else installed them--probably one of those bathroom cam bandits you're always hearing about on the news.
Despite Berry's foolproof defense of shrugging and looking as surprised as anyone else, he had to pay over 1.2 million dollars divided up amongst the victims.
The Fallout:
Berry's music career was finished at that point anyway, so adding the "creepy old man" title to his long list of accolades didn't really cause much of a stir. Berry is still widely considered to be one of the greatest musicians of all-time, proving that trying to watch women pee is perfectly acceptable if you're either a skilled musician or German.
Not so lucky - Pee Wee Herman
Hilariously offputting children's entertainer Paul Reubens had made a name for himself with a television show and a couple of films under his belt. To celebrate, he undid that belt and began to play with himself in a movie theater. A couple of years later he was charged with possessing child pornography, a charge which was later dropped in favor of a lesser charge, but the stigma of Pee Wee being a giant, freaky perv made all of his work up to that point seem about twice as creepy in retrospect, and it was already pretty creepy.
#1. Rick James: Music, Crack Pipe Torture Innovator
Rick James is known for "Superfreak," his decades long monstrous addiction to crack and for being Dave Chappelle. By the early 90s, he also had developed a penchant for torture
He was also addicted to hairspray.
The Incident:
Being addicted to drugs is standard for pretty much all musicians. Torturing people while on the drugs with drug paraphernalia is a little different though and expressly forbidden in Disney Record contracts. So when Rick James kidnapped music executive Mary Sauger, then beat her for roughly 20 hours, it started a series of what qualifies as dramatic and insane events.
After being paroled for the aforementioned day-long beating, shit got real. Rick James was hanging out with 24-year-old Frances Alley, when he became suspicious that she had stolen drugs from him. Unwilling to part with any of his drugs under any circumstance, James likely snorted toilet cleanser until holding her hostage seemed like a fine course of action.
"Man, I am just full of good ideas."
He tied her up, burnt her with the hot end of a crack pipe, and forced her to service him sexually for six fucking days. To put six days of torture into perspective, she was essentially tortured for 12 viewings of all three Lord of the Rings movies, uncut. That's a shitload of Smeagol.
The Fallout:
Rick James was convicted of two charges, but avoided the torture charge, which would have put his Charlie Murphy slapping ass in jail for life. Thanks to Dave Chappelle, who appears in half of the google images when you search "Rick James," James became charming and hilarious again and people mostly forgot about all that torture business and that abhorrent video he made with Eddie Murphy.
Not So Lucky - Phil Spector:
"I'm not even going to try to win this trial."
Celebrity murderer du jour, Spector was once a famed record producer. However, it later came to light that he had a habit, spanning a good 30 years, of inviting women to his house and then "sort of" shooting at them when they tried to leave. Sort of became "point blank" in 2003, when Spector shot Lana Clarkson by putting the gun in her mouth.
Though the first trial ended in a mistrial, the second go round ended with a conviction and Spector getting 19 years to think about what he did... and maybe get a haircut.

The state's budget crisis may partially cripple the plans for a new Glasgow elementary school. The new school is scheduled to break ground in May and open in the fall of 2005, to serve 600 students and replace 50-year-old E.B. Terry Elementary school.
The plans for the new school, however, may be unexpectedly downsized if the General Assembly doesn't pass a budget by July 1. Without a budget, the school system does not have the power to issue new bonds, which would leave the school board $500,000 short of the $9 million price tag for the new school. Dr. Fred Carter, Glasgow Superintendent, says officials plan to cut out a full-size gymnasium from the plans and turn the cafeteria into a multi-purpose room instead.
Dr. Carter says the school must make the final decision before the end of May, and isn't pleased with the General Assembly.
"I thought our legislature was acting like a group of 4th graders when they got upset about something they get up and leave the room, and then I realized later I was probably slamming a deserving group of 4th graders who actually don't act that infantile," Carter said.

Mayo Clinic offers appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System locations.
At Mayo Clinic, doctors from many specialties work as a team to develop the most appropriate plan of care for you. They take the time to listen to your questions and concerns and provide comprehensive care, including nutritional, social, financial and spiritual issues. They follow you before, during and after your transplant, to ensure the best results and quality of care.
Mayo Clinic doctors trained in heart transplantation and others will evaluate you to determine if a heart transplant will be safe and beneficial for you.
Your evaluation may last one to two weeks and may include:
A team of doctors trained in heart and blood vessel disease (cardiologists), transplant surgery, infectious diseases, mental health conditions (psychiatrists) and other areas evaluate you to determine if you're eligible for a heart transplant.
Doctors will explain what to expect after a heart transplant, including taking medications, lifestyle changes and other changes. Doctors will also discuss with you the risks and benefits of transplant surgery.
If you're approved for a heart transplant, you'll be placed on a waiting list for a donor heart. You may be on a waiting list from a few days to several years. You'll need to manage your current health condition and have regular follow-up appointments with your doctor. While waiting for a donor heart, you'll need to remain in close contact with the transplant team and notify your transplant coordinator of any significant changes in your medical or social situation. You should be prepared to get to the hospital quickly after you receive notice that a donor heart is available.
You may be eligible for a ventricular assist device or a total artificial heart to aid circulation while waiting for a heart transplant, or as a treatment instead of a heart transplant.
Once a potential donor heart is found, a transplant team member will instruct you to come to Mayo Clinic as soon as possible.
Before your transplant, you'll have a physical examination, blood tests, urine tests, a chest X-ray and other tests. Doctors also will conduct a final assessment of the donor heart to ensure it's acceptable.
Before surgery, you'll receive general anesthesia. A heart-lung bypass machine will pump blood through your lungs and body during the transplant. Surgeons will make a large incision in your chest, remove your heart and replace it with the donor heart. Surgeons then will attach your donor heart.
Sometimes surgeons may perform a heart-lung, heart-kidney, heart-liver or heart-lung-liver transplant for people who are eligible.
After your transplant, you'll usually stay in the hospital one to two weeks to recover. During your hospital stay, your transplant team will monitor your recovery process. Your treatment team will provide you with instructions on post-transplant recovery, care, lifestyle changes and medications.
After your transplant, you'll need to stay near Mayo Clinic for about two to three months so your doctors can closely monitor your progress and recovery, and monitor your heart for rejection.
Follow-up care. Your doctor will update your primary health care provider about your progress and give recommendations for your care at home. In addition, a certified transplant nurse coordinator will provide follow-up care for life, and answer your questions and communicate with you and your primary health care provider.
You'll have several follow-up appointments at Mayo Clinic for about three months. After you return home, you'll have follow-up appointments. The frequency of your appointments will be determined by your treatment team. Your follow-up appointments may include blood tests, a heart biopsy and other tests. In a heart biopsy, doctors remove very small samples of your heart tissue to test for signs of rejection. You'll also have several tests at Mayo Clinic once a year, or more often if necessary.

Is there any chromatic analogue of the Shepard tone? I am imagining that each pure tone would correspond to a pure wavelength of light, transformed in such a way that the middle of three consecutive octaves would correspond to the peak sensitivity of the R, G, and B cones respectively. Would the light have the corresponding description of "always getting bluer (redder)"? If, say, one had been spending a long time immersed in a game like this, would it create the illusion of accelerating toward (away) without actually moving? Any references to similar ideas?

One similar idea is the Blue Diamonds Optical Illusion, is a series of identical things that appear to be a series of darker and darker and darker things, indefinitely. It shows that the Cornsweet illusion can be repeated over and over again. This reminds me of the way the Shepard tone plays the same thing over and over again, but the pitch seems to get higher and higher.
I suspect a similar approach might be able to construct an illusion that appears to be "always getting bluer".
Peter Tse's Infinite Regress Illusion creates the illusion of a stimuli that is continually moving away from a target.

This question is in purgatory I guess...
Try the Earforce X31's on the Turtle Beach side woot. I have had a refurbished pair from Woot for over a year and they still work great. Best part is they are wireless, with adjustable game/chat volumes depending on which you want to be louder. Great deal at 40 bucks.

Given K points in a N-dimensional (hyper-)cube with all edges length 1. What is the expected minimal distance between 2 points. I found the 1-dimensional case in this topic: Mean minimum distance for N random points on a one-dimensional line and I wonder if this can be generalized into multiple dimensions in general. I don't seem to succeed in extending the card analogy in the other topic. Does anyone have any hints as to proceed with this?
It depends on what kind of accuracy you are looking for, but you can get a crude bound of the order of $1/K^{1-1/N}$ by breaking the space into K regions and applying a balls and bins argument.
The following paper:
Bhattacharyya, P., and B. K. Chakrabarti. The mean distance to the nth neighbour in a uniform distribution of random points: an application of probability theory. Eur J. Phys. 29, pp. 639-645.
Claims to provide exact, approximate, and handwaving estimates for the mean 'k'th nearest neighbor distance in a uniform distribution of points over a D-dimensional Euclidean space (or a D-dimensional hypersphere of unit volume) when one ignores certain boundary conditions.
However, Wadim's response is making me feel some concern that the exact problem is much more complex. Please see the paper for the full derivation (and approximate methods), but I'll write the exact expression they converge on using two different method of absolute probability and conditional probability.
Let $D$ be the dimension of the Euclidean space, let $N$ be the number of points randomly and uniformly distributed over the space, and let $MeanDist(D, N, k)$ be the mean distance to a given points $kth$ nearest-neighbor. This yields:
$MeanDist(D, N, k) = \frac{(\Gamma(\frac{D}{2}+1))^{\frac{1}{D}}}{\pi^{\frac{1}{2}}} \frac{(\Gamma(k + \frac{1}{D}))}{\Gamma(k)} \frac{\Gamma(N)}{\Gamma(N + \frac{1}{D})}$
Where $\Gamma(...)$ is the complete Gamma function.
Wadim - might it be possible for you to provide some feedback about the derivations here vs. the method of box integrals you described in your comment?

Let $U\subset \mathbb{R}^k$ be an open set, $n>k$ and $\varphi_1,\varphi_2 : U\to \mathbb{R}^n$ be immersions, meaning continuously differentiable such that the differential taken in any point of $U$ is injective. Also, let $\varphi_1(U)=\varphi_2(U)=:U'$ and $\varphi_1$ and $\varphi_2$ be injective (and homeomorphisms $U\to U'$).
Then $\varphi_1^{-1} \circ \varphi_2 : U\to U$ is a diffeomorphism.
My problem is that $\varphi_1^{-1}$ need not be differentiable in the usual analysis sense, because $U'$ is not an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$. I am guessing that $d (\varphi_1^{-1}\circ \varphi_2)(x)$ should be $d(\varphi_1)(\varphi_1^{-1}(\varphi_2(x)))^{-1}\cdot d(\varphi_2)(x)$, because this is what happens if $k=n$ and it is still defined for $k<n$. However, I would need a way to apply the theorem on inverse functions to $\varphi_1$.

Stack overflow is not the same what it used to be one year before. Experience is very bad for noobs. Moderators are rigid. Recently, they closed one of my question on assembly. They gave me two links to show that my question is duplicate. I can just laugh on those links. first one is about the assembler to use. I commented that I can't use MASM but that hardly makes any difference to them. They just want to close the question as soon as possible. The final comment is best. Where the mod wrote "There are emulators out there such as SPIMS for MIPS.". But can anybody tell me how a noob can know there are emulators for assembly? He could have put that for answer. The first comment is also great, "Which book is best is completely subjective". but I never asked for the best book. I just want a book for 64 bit assembly. I think they assume lots of thing in their mind. nowadays I hardly visits stack overflow for these reasons. This site is not for noobs anymore.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
first of all.
This is the entire text of your question:
How much research effort did you put into your question? And how much of that research effort did you demonstrate and share in the question itself?
(do note that the first link is a mandatory clickthrough page for all new users when they ask questions, as well...)
You want effort from us? You put effort into your questions first, or with all due respect, take it elsewhere.
Your question was rightly closed as not constructive. It wasn't closed because it had a duplicate. It was the kind of question that shows no research effort, and can receive opinions for answers rather than fact. It would have been much better if you had searched the internet for some information on "64 bit Windows assembler" you'll be headed in the right direction. Then if you're torn in between two, ask something like:
Which will be more likely to receive facts as answers than asking a question in the form of:
Which will both likely be answered by people's opinions.
