Continuing to make strong progress
If we want to be honest with ourselves, the entire NFT space is experiencing its version of a bear market, and we expect Flovatar will be affected by this to some extent. However, contrary to many short-term driven projects out there, you can rest assured knowing we will be here for the long haul. How long the winter will last is impossible to say, it could be next week or next quarter, but one thing is sure: the fundamentals of Flovatar haven’t changed.

How To Measure Compatibility in Romantic Relationships
Photo by NeONBRAND on Unsplash Compatibility is a strange thing. Sometimes, we just can’t figure out why we experience an emotional attraction or connection to someone. It may tug on our intuition, feel like love at first sight, or evolve from a long-term friendship. And in my history of romantic endeavors, I have sometimes been attracted to those who are quite my polar opposite. During college, I met men in diverse places. New student orientation, the gym, the bar of course, and even at yoga club.
ZigZag’s Vision for Ethereum Layer-2 DEX
How zkSync and StarkNet can unlock P2P trading without compromises. One year ago, the ZigZag team began reimagining what they saw on Uniswap. Yes, to trade without lengthy onboarding was revolutionary, harkening back to the days of EtherDelta, but Uniswap’s UI lacked… information. Without an order book, trade log, or DOM indicator, a flow trader would be helpless to calibrate a good entry or exit.
The “Does ‘Spiderman: No Way Home’ Deserve an Oscar” Debate Masks A Darker Legacy In Film Criticism
The debate rocking film criticism right now involves a billion-dollar movie and the 2022 Oscars. Spiderman: No Way Home has made over $1.8 billion dollars since its December 2021 release. However, the film did not get an Oscar nomination for the season, and this has caused a heated conversation between film critics and mainstream, audience-centered channels. Jimmy Kimmel and Kevin Smith have been the loudest, but film critics are adamant that such a thing will not and should never happen.
Mapping the World’s Flight Paths with Python
Image by Author. As a result of covid air travel has obviously reduced significantly in the last two years, however it is showing signs of recovering to its former glory. In 2019 it was estimated that the total number of passengers carried by planes hit 4.5 billion, an all time high.
Ways to Add Authentication to Your React Apps
Photo by Lautaro Andreani on Unsplash Authentication is an integral part of any public-facing application. It is used to verify if the user on a platform is who they say they are. This way, they get access to several user-specific privileges on the platform. Don’t bother with an authentication flow if your app doesn’t care about security or resource abuse. However, implementing an authentication flow is extremely important if your site or app data is public.
Working with inout references in Swift
What do we know about function parameters in Swift? They can’t be modified because they are constants inside the function. This is true for the values but not for objects. If you pass a value to a function, it will be copied to a function, and you will not work with the original value inside.
Design Unpredictable AI in Games. Part 1 - Architecture
Designing an NPC, which determines its own behavior against the player. NPC makes a selfie after killing a player, why not? In this post, I’m going to tell you about Goal-Oriented Action Planning and how we can design dynamically changing game worlds based on artificial intelligence.
Qn.IA vs Mathpix vs Qanda 비교
수학 인식 기술을 보유한 국내외 3개 업체 이번 시간에는 수학 인식 기술을 보유한 대표적인 3개 업체의 기술력을 비교해 보려고 합니다. Mathpix는 미국 실리콘밸리의 스타트업으로 현재까지 세계 최고 수준의 기술력을 보유한 것으로 알려져 있습니다. Qanda는 매스프레소의 수학문항인식 서비스로 산타토익으로 유명한 루이드와 함께 교육분야에 AI기술을 접목하여 큰 반향을 일으키고 있습니다. 위 2개의 업체에 도전장을 내민 Qn.AI의 기술력은 과연 어느 정도인지 비교해 보겠습니다. 왼쪽부터 Qn.AI, mathpix, Qnada Qn.AI는 후발주자이지만 타 업체와 비교하여 높은 필기 인식률을 보여주고 있습니다. 휴대폰 스냅샷으로 찍은 필기 내용을 대부분 정확히 인식했습니다. 속도 면에서도 mathpix와 비교하여 비슷하거나 조금 빨른 것을 알 수 있습니다. 다만 영문 대문자 인식에서 로만체와 이탤릭을 구분하지 못하고 있는데 필기인식에서는 사실상 불가능 부분으로 이해됩니다.
The AI Hierarchy of Needs
Have you ever encountered an idea that changed how you look at everything? You may not know it when you get introduced to it. You may even completely dismiss it. But over time, you come to appreciate it more and more. That is what happened to me with the AI Hierarchy of Needs. I was introduced to it by a co-worker. For me, it started as an excellent conversation piece, but it matured into a whole philosophy. This article will walk you through the AI Hierarchy of Needs and how it grew on me.
A UX Writer’s Guide to UX Design in 7 Magic Tricks - by Ama Udofa
Photo by Jo Szczepanska on Unsplash Ask me what I do for a living, and nine times out of ten, you’ll catch me off guard. I’ve been many things: a storyteller, a content writer, a poet, a startup operator, a digital marketer, and now I currently contribute to society as a writer-copyeditor in a delightful culture magazine. In a world where people are asked to choose, I describe myself as a curious, multi-dimensional, constantly evolving human being.

Your First Machine Learning Project in Python
Machine Learning Image from Commercial banks receive a lot of applications for credit cards. Many of them get rejected for many reasons, like high loan balances, low-income levels, or too many inquiries on an individual’s credit report, for example. Manually analyzing these applications is mundane, error-prone, and time-consuming (and time is money!). Luckily, this task can be automated with the power of machine learning, and pretty much every commercial bank does so nowadays.
யோனியும் ஞானியும்
யோனி யிலிருந்து விழுந்தான்; மற்றோர் யோனி யிழைய விழைவான். வந்த யோனியிடம் ஒடுங்குவான்; காதலில் நொந்த யோனியிடம் அடங்குவான். இது தான் ஆணின் நீட்சி; இது புரிந்தவனே ஞானி. एकस्याः योनेः आगच्छति; एकां योनिम् इच्छति। प्रतिभूषति, आगतां योनिम्; परच्छन्दः, कामितां योनिम्। एतैव पुरुषस्य व्याप्तिः - यः ज्ञातः, सः ज्ञानी।। A Yoni, he falls from; A Yoni, he falls for. Acquiesces to the Yoni he fell from; Subservient to the Yoni that he fell for. This is all is a man’s extent; jñāni, is the one who is cognizant.
Why I’m selling my Chromebook
I’m updating my device: but not like this any more I’ve had a Chromebook for eight years I won a Google Chromebook 11 in February 2014, which I even reviewed here on Medium. I was curious about whether I could use a Chromebook as a daily machine: this one was a decent little machine, though only had 2GB of RAM so ended up being quite slow, and I didn’t really use it much: everything was a bit of a compromise. I liked the idea, though, so got a Toshiba Chromebook 2 in April 2015.

Interview Theater
Welcome to Interview Theater I’m tired of your interview process. I’ve worked in tech on Linux and Windows based servers since 2003 — and I was doing it for fun before that. I installed Slackware off of repurposed Windows 95 beta floppies. I remember when you had to recompile the kernel to raise the number of file descriptors. Does having been around since the 1.x kernel days mean I shouldn’t have to prove my abilities?
BBC funding: beyond the licence fee
After Nadine Dorries decided she’d spring “no more licence fee from 2027” on the BBC (and then change her mind), there have been plenty of hot takes on how the BBC might take its funding forward. What the world needs is another hot take, I thought. So, here’s an idea, It doesn’t involve advertising It sounds beguiling, doesn’t it, to stop the public paying for something and instead get McDonald’s to pay for it by filling ad breaks full of ads for Filet O’Fish.

The Unbearable Lightness of Pro-Filibuster Arguments
Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema understands what’s at stake. In an impassioned speech on the floor ofthe Senate, she described accurately and movingly all that’s threatened by the continued efforts of Republicans in state legislatures who, with simple, filibuster-free majorities, continue to press to restrict access to the polls by Democrats. She supports “strongly,” she tells us, voting rights legislation. And she implores Republicans to support it as well.
Can we stop lying about what IT is about?
Ok, so geek cards on the table. I’m a geek, I’ve got a degree in Computer Science, I code for fun, I love science, statistics, sci-fi, fantasy, computer games. At no stage in my career has anyone not thought I was a geek.

I’m happy and excited about this because, while the market is in recovery, we’ve made significant progress on some of our utility-driven products.
Admit When You’re Wrong, and Other Actions for Allies
Illustration by Katerina Limpitsouni of unDraw Earlier this month, The Morning Newsletter from the New York Times encouraged “pundit accountability.” As David Leonhardt explains, “There is no shame in being wrong at times. Everybody is, including knowledgeable experts. The world is a messy, uncertain place. The only way to be right all the time is to be silent or say nothing interesting.” Let this sink in: The only way to be right all the time is to be silent.
On all the good the “60 vote threshold” has done
It’s impossibly difficult to know whether Senators like Sinema actually mean what they say, or whether they just think we’re so stupid that we won’t notice how crazy what they say is. Sinema was almost in tears as she waxed rhapsodic about the “60-vote threshold” — as if there is any evidence that threshold has done any good for America.
Earn Money online SMShing campaign targets Indian netizens
Happy New Year 2022 to all Netizens! We are still making new year resolutions and shiny promises to ourselves to make our life better, aside cyber criminals are actively targeting Indian netizens and luring them to get a instant personal loan, business loan, free cashbacks by playing games, etc. so that they can collect PII (Personal Identifiable Information) and utilise these information to compromise user’s financial data.
Music streaming services, and cross-fading songs. And decent segues.
If you listen to pop music radio, you’ll notice that there’s never silence. Songs will merge into another quite nicely, and keep the energy going. There isn’t a silence between songs. But if you listen to your Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify, or your Discover Mix on YouTube Music, you’ll notice that there is a silence between songs. It’s quite jarring, and if you’re trying to use music to keep the energy up, it’s even rather counter-productive.
Key Tips on Keeping Your Pets Warm on a Winters Day
Photo by Pedro Tortelli on Unsplash Different factors to think about with tolerance to cold temperatures are: Age Body fat Health Coat Age Older and young pets will struggle with keeping warm. This is because they have a more challenging time controlling their body temperature. Body Fat Pets that are lean and thin could become colder faster because they do not have the extra fat on their body to keep them warm.
Women Power of Twitter Spaces
Simone de Beauvoir says, “One’s life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation, compassion.” This statement is a great summary for the whole women community of Twitter Spaces who encourage & support to leverage motivations of each other. Think about all the communication & information channels that you have, and their evolution over time.
There is no Data Warehouse in a Digital World
Over the past couple of years I’ve notice a consistent problem with data architectures: People keep trying to build a better data warehouse The thought process is pretty clear, and in one sense its hard to fault: Data used to mean Data Warehouses Now we have Data Lakes/Fabrics/Meshes Therefore we need to build a better data warehouse This however misses the fundamental shift in what data means, and what Data Warehouses were about.
Leader McConnell, leading
January 6, 2021 As we approach the anniversary of the worst day in American democracy since shots were fired on Fort Sumter, we should recall, and keep in context, those who served us (and the US) well. We should especially recall the surprises. Much has been made of Vice President Pence’s resolve in the face of pressure by the President to discard the legitimate electoral votes from Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Georgia (e.g., “Pence Saved The Republic”).
Bereaved, divorced, but not beaten
Loss is personal — be it material, of the loved ones, of relationships, or something else. And people process loss differently. While what I learned while processing my grief of losing my dad a few years ago was helpful, it's hard every single time. I focused only on what I could control — facing the loss head-on, internalizing the reality, and exploring avenues to express my grief positively. Face it Head-on Let’s face it — bereavements, breakups, and divorce are all hard to accept.
Review: Nine months with an Onyx Boox Poke3 e-reader
(I updated this review in December 2021) For a while, I’ve had a Kobo Aura One, a rather fine ebook reader that has served me well. My main use-case has been sitting in planes reading books, though for whatever reason (gestures outside) I’ve not been doing that too much recently. My secondary use-case is quietly reading in bed. I’ve long waved goodbye to the Amazon Kindle. I strip any DRM off any books that I buy (if they have DRM), and store them in .epub format.

Pursuits - a trilingual poem
Some pursue wealth, some health. Power, some pursue; pleasure, some. Happiness is some’s pursuit, while some seek to be perfect. Love, do pursue some; moksha, do some. Pursuits — as many as sentients, is one lesser than other?
Hunger Striking 4 Democracy
I came to DC yesterday to see a hunger strike. After I saw what I saw, I stayed. On December 6th, students in Arizona began a “hunger strike for democracy,” demanding that Congress pass the Freedom to Vote Act, the successor to the For the People Act, and the most ambitious democracy restoration package considered by Congress in generations. Four days into their strike, Senator Sinema met with the students to hear their case. She was supportive, if non-committal.
New Deal For CUNY Rally in Long Island City, NY
New Deal For CUNY Rally in Long Island City, NY The City University of New York (CUNY) community, supporters, and elected officials gathered in Long Island City, New York for a rally calling for more state support for the university. The participants of the ‘New Deal 4 CUNY’ rally came out to remind state legislators of the vital impact the university has on the city of New York and it communities.
“Hard & Fast” Vs “Late & Slow”
The title might sound like a movie, but this article is about unpacking decision making. We need leaders to be confident in their decisions to hold them accountable. We desire leaders to lead, wanting them to be early. They achieve this by listening to the signals and reacting before it is evident to the casual observer. However, those in leadership which we hold accountable do not want to make the “wrong” decisions.
Ori Industries Announces Edgehog Day, Bringing the Latest in Edge Computing

The Waiting Game
So you’re telling me there’s a chance… Look, I’m anxious about the Michigan/Ohio State game tomorrow so I’m going to write it out. I feel this way mainly because it legitimately feels like the best shot Michigan has had in a few years, dating back to Harbaugh’s second (controversial) shot at this rivalry as a coach in 2016, five years ago when two top five 10–1 teams went to double overtime in Columbus.
We Paid off £100,000 Consumer Debt in Three Years
Photo by Kyle Glenn on Unsplash Almost exactly ten years ago, my world, as I knew it, collapsed. It sounds dramatic, but please don’t expect an apology — this is exactly how it felt, and anyone who tells you not to allow emotions in your dealings with money likely has never faced a profound money crisis. You would have felt like your world collapsed as well if you were facing the crisis of £100,000 worth of consumer debt. How did I react to having £100,000 worth of consumer debt?
The unwritten contract between podcast publishers and apps
Picture: Kelly Sikkema Podcasting works on an RSS feed: a format that was initially developed and released by Netscape in 1999, and amended by Dave Winer in 2000 to include ‘enclosures’, the audio files that make up a podcast. A podcast RSS feed consists of, at its most basic, the title and description of a podcast and its episodes, and an address showing a computer to where to find the audio file. A “podcast app” is better thought of as a search engine for podcasts.
My Resignation from Netflix
(Note: This is a copy of my resignation letter that was delivered to my team and members of the Trans* ERG) Greetings, I have resigned from Netflix as of 11/21/2021. This isn’t how I thought things would end, but I am relieved to have closure. When I was looking to change teams at Netflix, when I was trying to decide if I needed a break from my ERG leadership role, and when I was suspended from Netflix in October, there was one person whose advice I sought in all three cases: B. Pagels-Minor.
Web3 Digi Models | Decentralised & Co-Created
There is an old saying from the early days of the web— on the internet no one knows if you are really a dog. For gamers, it’s nothing new to interact with all kinds of people, without knowing whether they are actually human. With the rise of social media and significant advances in 3D rendering, entirely virtual idols have become mega stars, at first in East Asian economies and then globally. These digital personalities build followings in the tens of millions on instagram, tiktok and the like.
Nigeria - QuickBus
QuickBus: Road to NGA Three years ago, a young man took it upon himself to revolutionize bus transportation in Africa. He took this model, raised some funds, and started what is now known as QuickBus. After setting up structures in Angola, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, South Africa, and Kenya, he…
About That Time a Business Ghosted Me
So in case you hadn’t heard, companies are into ghosting now. If they don’t want to pursue a candidate, they’ll just stop contacting that candidate. No calls. No emails. Nothing. And to be fair, it goes the other way, too, with candidates bailing on interested hiring managers. A couple of months ago, I got to experience this (unfortunately) for myself. An AI company reached out to me and said they’d seen some of my work online. They wanted to know if I could do some pieces for them.
McMansions Are Making Us Miserable And broke
Real estate | Psychology | Money Photo by Zac Gudakov on Unsplash Choosing where to live is the fork in the road separating financial hell from freedom and flexibility. Housing is our biggest expense, it’s a fixed expense, and due to our emotional attachments to our homes, it’s one of the hardest changes to make in our lives. This is particularly true when it comes to “downsizing.” Most of us would rather face financial ruin than lose the status of our big house or chichi apartments.
