I really liked seats arrangement in Helsinki public buses. Not sure how popular are they. But basic idea is that in a paired seat you have one seat shifted a bit to back. Because of that if there are two people sitting they don't rub their shoulders to one another and it feels much more spacious. Only picture that i could find : https://depressingfinland.tumblr.com/post/59672293951/234937...

Two years ago they would have been finding a way to add blockchain.

I'm sure somewhere on Earth right now there is already a startup based on block chain storage of convolutional neural network learning face recognition.
Here in the present we’re doing our neural networks with non-quantum simulated quantum networks that definitely don’t not not work.

This is actually a serious problem to me. Regardless of how interesting I find them, meetings at work trigger something deep inside me that cause me to sleep. It’s like a biological switch has been flipped. Cavemen talking around a fire into the night, getting ready for the long rest for the day ahead... Sometimes I fall into a fugue in which I am semi-aware and a dream fills in part of the speech of meetings. I hear…
I thought I was the only person with a serious case of useless-meeting narcolepsy. Keeping relatively active helps, just like taking walks roughly every hour at minimum during work. If I'm absolutely going to sleep I'll stop paying attention and focus on my work, but then I'll miss opportunities to talk when needed. I'll owe my career to anyone who can find a solution.
The cushions on either side only work if the seat is very reclined, else you just keep slipping forward.

Clarification of the difference between recognition and general detection is not an argument for or against, though perhaps you should re-read my last sentence for my position.
Your post is making the mistake that, just because all this function needs is detection, that therefore this is the only thing it's actually doing. "What this is about is..." This isn't about detection and isn't about triggering a sleep mode at all. It's not even about over-engineering for this particular function, because this particular function is not the point. What it's actually about is doing everything they ca…
It doesn't make my post a mistake for not accounting for every last thought you had about a different conversation. And if you need it to be clear, by over-engineered I do consider these unnecessary and unwanted.

When my house was built, I considered adding a wired intercom system. I could never think of a reason why it would be better than just yelling.
So you can communicate without waking up your sleeping infant, turns out. Though phones work for this too.

I was in a taxi in Japan with a TV screen in the headrests. It started with a message saying it uses facial recognition to tell if you are male or female, in order to provide you with the most relevant content, where the content was entirely advertising. Your future is now.
Do you remember which taxi group that was? I live in Japan and haven’t noticed that yet
