History of an image scraper
“Shinn’s motel room contained 26 stolen books and a file full of inventory cards for another 154 volumes.

Fragments from Eric Schwitzgebel’s Why did we think we dreamed in black and white?

High quality video and fingerprint sensors have become less expensive and are nowadays standard components in many mobile devices. Thus, many devices can be unlocked via fingerprint or face verification. The state of the art accuracy of biometric facial recognition systems prompted even […]
