![]() We live in an age of unprecedented competition for our attention, from social networks, from incendiary cable news, from online advertisements that follow us around the world. They’re living rent-free in your head!) Someone or something that lives rent-free in your head is causing you agita without paying for it. We obsess about sports, but our teams can win it all. We obsess about romantic partners, but we can love and be loved. So, we obsess about our jobs, but we can get promoted. But beyond that, it implies that the people and things we obsess over should reward us - or at least present us with the possibility. Landers’ maxim, “don’t let someone live rent-free in your head,” is about letting go of things beyond your control. Like any great turn of phrase, it pithily gets at something quite deep-seated: our anxiety over the way the indignant and polarized national mood intersects with the hyper-competitive, fully monetized attention economy that defines American culture and politics in 2018. And in its new, antagonistic usage, the phrase has gained new resonance. (It also stars in a late-career Wang Chung single) But in recent months, “living rent-free in your head” has come into its own, and is offered now not as advice but as a taunt. The phrase is usually attributed to Landers, and has floated around self-help blogs for years.

Rent-free: Suddenly, everywhere, there are brain squatters, hogging mental resources and coughing up nothing in return. And as Ann Landers might have predicted, we have officially entered the great age of living in each others’ heads rent-free. “Hanging onto resentment,” Landers wrote, “is letting someone you despise live rent-free in your head.” There was also a fortune cookie–worthy aphorism about keeping grudges. They picked out nuggets of heartland wisdom about loneliness, integrity, romance, meatloaf, and warts. Near the end of her life, in 1999, the legendary advice columnist Ann Landers asked readers to select the best chestnuts of her 47-year career.

![]() Prior to today’s acquisition, Qwiki had raised about $10.5 million from investors including Eduardo Saverin, Greylock Partners, Lerer Ventures, and Lightbank. Qualcomm also started introducing Snapdragon system-on-chips and Gobi modems and other software or semiconductor products for self-driving cars and modern in-car computers. And Qwiki offers iOS users a way to create and share videos that are more advanced than what Vine and Instagram can offer. Qualcomm acquired the wireless electric car charging company, HaloIPT, in November 2011 and later sold the company to WiTricity in February 2019. ![]() Perhaps Qwiki has been spared because Mayer has promised to refocus much of Yahoo’s attention on mobile products. Yahoo acquired Qwiki for 50 million then shortly, the news broke that Chaotic Moon, an app development company sued Qwiki for non-payment of its design. “I am especially encouraged that Yahoo will keep the product alive and hope to see Qwiki become a part of Yahoo’s mobile renaissance,” Thukkaram said in a statement. “We will continue to support the Qwiki app, and the team will join Yahoo in our New York City office to reimagine Yahoo’s storytelling experience,” the company said in a blog post today.Įven Navin Thukkaram, Qwiki’s COO, seems a little relieved Yahoo isn’t killing off Qwiki. In these cases, companies such as Stamped, OnTheAir,, Alike, Summly, and Jybe have been purchased for their talent while the products are tossed aside. And just yesterday, Yahoo announced the acquisition of one-man fantasy sports startup Bignoggins.īut it has also purchased a spate of smaller startups and shut most of those services down. Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has promised to keep it independent from Yahoo to let it keep growing. Its most prominent of these acquisitions was of New York blogging powerhouse Tumblr for $1.1 billion. I'm focusing all my time on making Slides the best it can be.Yahoo has been purchasing startups left and right the past few months. Qwiki was acquired by Yahoo in 2013.Īfter Qwiki I joined Squarespace as their Lead Interface Engineer. The most recent acquisition of Qwiki could help the company differentiate. Then I moved halfway across the world to join Qwiki, a silicon valley startup. Yahoos buying spree continuous, this time it has acquired US-based Qwiki, an iPhone app that creates story-telling videos by using pictures and videos in. ARCHIVES: This is legacy content from before Marketing Dive acquired Mobile. The startup combines social video sharing with filters, transitions, soundtracks, and text to. During my five years with Fi I had the opportunity to lead the development of projects for clients including Google, BBC, Nintendo and SAS. Yahoo has made yet another acquisition: iOS movie-making app Qwiki. I started out at Fi – a digital production company in Stockholm. Slides is based on reveal.js - an open source HTML presentation framework that I first released in 2011 and still maintain today. Yahoos acquisition spree may continue if the latest rumors prove as accurate as the last. A platform for creating, presenting and sharing slide decks. I co-founded and am working full time on Slides. ![]() In the past, I've lived in Stockholm, San Francisco and New York. I'm born and raised in Sweden and currently live in Jönköping. Most of my projects are released open source so you can freely modify or improve on them. Particles slide across the screen and grow as they get close to the mouse. Funny enough, this is how I figured out I was blocked by an ex. Therefore, if this is someone who changes their profile picture often and they’ve had the same one for far longer than usual, it’s possible that they’ve blocked you. This means that you’ll see the contact’s profile picture that they had up when they blocked you. However, I recently learned via the WhatsApp Help Center that now when someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, you won’t see any updates to their profile picture. Instead, you’d see the default blank profile photo similar to what’s in my screenshot above. In the past, when someone blocked you on WhatsApp, you wouldn’t be able to see their profile picture. If you’re the one who has been blocked and want to know for sure, here are 5 ways to tell that you’ve been blocked by a WhatsApp contact. Just like WhatsApp makes communication and access to your contacts easy, removing that access by blocking someone on WhatsApp is just as simple. One reason for WhatsApp’s popularity is its availability and the fact that it has tons of features that make communication easy. That being said, WhatsApp is still the default mode of communication for many people around the world, such as myself, and is still used by many people in the U.S. Despite its global popularity, WhatsApp hasn’t really taken root in the States like it has in other countries, according to Digital Trends. I’ve known for years that WhatsApp is extremely popular across the globe, but I recently found out that 2.44 billion users worldwide have a WhatsApp account according to Verloop, an AI company. 5 Ways How To Tell If You’ve Been Blocked On WhatsApp I’ll go into further detail in the article, but please keep this in mind going forward. In addition to this, if the person is not connected to the internet, then this could also be a reason why they’re not showing up for you. This is because WhatsApp purposefully keeps it ambiguous to protect the person’s privacy, as I learned via the WhatsApp Help Center. While there are a few indicators that you’ve been blocked on WhatsApp, there isn’t a definitive one.

![]() The following figure shows the four strategies for DR, which are highlighted in the DR whitepaper. Each NF has a different objective focus, thus different types of DR strategies can be applied. On the other hand, UDM would matter to both RPO and RTO because it deals with the subscriber profile and information. In the case of 5G NFs, AMF, SMF, and UPF – like most core functional components – would matter to RTO, since these components play a key role in the fast recovery and restoration of 5G voice and data services. We focus on how AWS services can aid in DR implementation within the context of the 3GPP standard architecture. ![]() ![]() Therefore, even though these services can be applied to specific components or elements of NFs, this post aims to take a more holistic view. ![]() Furthermore, those services are not always applicable to all components of the core network. However, the 5G core network applications focused on in this post have stronger requirements for networking interfaces and protocols based on the 3GPP standard. In the case of general applications running on AWS, known services for DR include AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery ( AWS DRS) and Amazon Route 53 Application Recovery Controller ( Route 53 ARC). RTO means the acceptable delay between the interruption of service and restoration of service, while RPO means an acceptable amount of time since the last data recovery point. DR model for 5G core network in AWSĪs discussed in DR posts and white papers about DR in the cloud, there are two objectives in DR: Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO). In addition, it explains how it would apply to a 5G network case first, and then presents key ideas such as how 3GPP architecture can be leveraged to help this DR objective, and how AWS services such as EC2 autoscaling, Cluster Autoscaling, and other functions can help implementation by introducing some open-source examples. This post explains the DR model and strategies for general applications on AWS. In addition, to maximize costs and energy savings, while NFs running on AWS serve swing-over traffic (the migrated traffic to AWS Cloud that was previously destined to the original on-premises site), AWS Graviton instances can be considered to host 5G core NFs. Then, it can provide a fast-scaling-out during the traffic surge event to cope with sudden traffic surges and spikes. Specifically, the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Auto Scaling capability, along with horizontal pod autoscaling, and cluster autoscaling features of Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) can minimize the footprint of Container-based Network Function (CNF) in the VPC for DR. It focuses on utilizing the 3GPP high-availability concept(s) in AWS and related AWS services, such as autoscaling, automation tools, and cost optimization aspects of the network. This post outlines how AWS can be leveraged as another virtual data center environment for the 5G network to achieve “disaster-resiliency” and “disaster-recovery” objectives. This can be done while also allowing them to react promptly to the demand of network changes, such as a burst traffic surge and maintenance event. Compared to the case of building such a redundant network in a traditional telco data center, AWS can help CSPs minimize costs and energy consumption during normal operation. More specifically, since this DR network is an additional network environment that is only required in correspondence to any unexpected failure or outage by disaster or planned maintenance, the design of the network must minimize the cost of resources by having fast scaling-in and scaling-out. This 5G DR network intends to provide scalable and immediate measures against a 5G NF failure, complete data center outage, or the event of a maintenance window. For example, user plane function (UPF) can be on the AWS Local Zone or AWS Outposts for low latency processing.Īmong the various use cases for AWS to host 5G NFs, one of the strong cases that appeals to CSPs, who have already built a 5G core network, would be disaster recovery (DR) or enhanced disaster-resilient network creation using AWS. As emphasized in the 5G network evolution on the AWS white paper, the AWS global cloud infrastructure of AWS Regions, AWS Availability Zones (AZs), AWS Local Zones, and AWS Outposts can provide an effective and elastic environment to host 5G core networks per the characteristics of network function (NF). However, a public cloud and 5G core network deployments on AWS are gaining more attention by identifying practical use cases, such as private networks for enterprises, as well as brand new 5G network creation. The Communication Service Providers (CSPs) in the telecom industry are looking to find more use cases to leverage. ![]()
![]() Luminance is invariant in geometric optics. The sun has a luminance of about 1.6 ×10 9 cd/m 2 at noon. A typical computer display emits between 50 and 300 cd/m 2. Luminance is used in the video industry to characterize the brightness of displays. In this case, the solid angle of interest is the solid angle subtended by the eye's pupil. Luminance is thus an indicator of how bright the surface will appear. Luminance levels indicate how much luminous power could be detected by the human eye looking at a particular surface from a particular angle of view. ![]() Luminance is often used to characterize emission or reflection from flat, diffuse surfaces. The unit in the Centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS) (which predated the SI system) is the stilb, which is equal to one candela per square centimetre or 10 kcd/m 2. A non-SI term for the same unit is the nit. The SI unit for luminance is candela per square metre (cd/m 2). ![]() īrightness is the term for the subjective impression of the objective luminance measurement standard (see Objectivity (science) § Objectivity in measurement for the importance of this contrast). The procedure for conversion from spectral radiance to luminance is standardized by the CIE and ISO. It describes the amount of light that passes through, is emitted from, or is reflected from a particular area, and falls within a given solid angle. Luminance is a photometric measure of the luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction.

I didn’t touch it after that until last week when I received an email stating that he had added support for the Nikon Coolscan files, along with several others. He asked for some test files, he told me that I was quite right and that HE would endeavour to support them in his next update… Just before Christmas, he made a reduction in the price, so I bought it, more or less because he was so personable and supportive… I sent a frustrated tech support email and almost by return, received a reply from someone (Brian) who seemed not only knowledgable, but actually interested in helping me. I downloaded the trial and immediately discovered that it didn’t open. nef files.Īt around the same time, I read something (I think it was from Bill Palmer guesting here) that mentioned Iridient Developer being good with Fuji files.

I wouldn’t put anything past the Adobe people Mike. This Google support document, which also covered the “Store presents with catalogue” issue discussed above, goes on to help solve deeper problems by re-installation of the Nik Collection and adjustment of the settings for individual plug-ins. ![]() There could be other reasons for Nik Collection plug-ins not appearing in the Lightroom. It’s a good idea to read through this before doing anything. I checked my installation and, sure enough, the Store Presets option had become enabled, presumably during the import of the Aperture library.ĭespite the forum advice above, there are some instances where you would want to enable the “store with catalog” setting and the same document covers most of the eventualities. While this option specifically relates to presets, it can also hide plug-ins as I found. ![]() So, unless you have a specific requirement to use it, you are strongly advised to leave the setting in the default unchecked position. This particular setting has very limited useful applications, and when used unwisely or without proper knowledge of its implications it can (and often does) cause a certain amount of chaos. There is an option available in the Lightroom Preferences (Edit Menu>Preferences on Windows, Lightroom Menu>Preferences on a Mac), where you will see on the Presets Tab an option to “Store presets with catalog”. I soon located this useful Lightroom forums post which deals with the obscure “Store presets with catalog” setting in Lightroom: As it happens, there were no significant glitches, except, afterwards, my Nik Collection had apparently “disappeared”. I’d been putting off importing all the older stuff for over a year since I attacked the previous years’ files immediately before I change to Lightroom. I had decided to import the residue of my old Aperture library that has been sitting there since I changed over the Lightroom a couple of years ago. I immediate suspected foul play involving a big dose of housekeeping done the previous day. Last weekend, however, I noticed that all plug-ins, with the exception of Color Efex Pro for some reason, had disappeared from the Edit dialogue box. ![]() Right click on an image, go to “Edit In” and the full list of available plugins was presented.

The ‘90s was truly a golden era for style and street fashion that continues to constantly be referenced today. Even vintage fashion has become a novelty to many. Plus, it always feels like past trends find their way back into the modern zeitgeist, from classic television shows being revived to iconic footwear that lived in the ’90s still thriving today. The ‘90s were a great time for pop culture and music, but the style wasn’t as on-point-or was it? Lately, we’ve been looking back at a time that for many of us here at Complex, were our formative years, and we’ve rediscovered a lot of the trends we forgot about. Sarah Cutler ’16 is a student communications assistant for the College of Human Ecology.Juice. “He’s seen the entire evolution of the industry.” “It was amazing to talk to him – he’s been there since the beginning,” Lewis said. While conducting her research, Lewis interviewed Simmons, co-founder of the Def Jam music label and founder of Phat Farm and the newly launched Argyleculture fashion label. Tastemakers like Russell Simmons, Jay-Z and Sean Combs have “adopted a more sophisticated, tailored look that contrasted urban roots but signified the entrepreneurial success of some of hip-hop’s iconic celebrities,” the authors write. Hip-hop was born nearly 40 years ago, and its fashions are growing up, too. “It can be very designer brand-focused or emphasize specific outfit elements – it’s a symbolic mix represented through the clothing.” “I look at men’s hip-hop fashion as a mixture evolving from very casual clothes to ‘remixing’ with more classic menswear by adding some of its own nontraditional touches,” Lewis said. At the same time, the hip-hop subculture embraced the country club luxuries of more venerable brands, a trickle-down of features not usually marketed to urban youth. During the 1990s, this “homeboy” look was adopted by major fashion labels, trickling up to become part of the mass culture. The paper describes hip-hop’s “powerful mix of influences, especially for clothing” and how its wide appeal demonstrates “two theories of fashion diffusion: both trickle-down and trickle-up.” Though it lacks a singular look, hip-hop style initially stood out with tracksuits, sporting gear, oversized T-shirts, overalls and combat boots. In the paper, “The Maturation of Hip Hop’s Menswear Brands: Outfitting the Urban Consumer,” Lewis and co-author Natalie Gray, CEO and founder of online retailer Stylekick, detail how hip-hop clothing has permeated popular culture and what differentiates its enduring brands (Rocawear, Phat Farm and Sean John) from less successful efforts. “Hip-hop has become a lifestyle that’s no longer just associated with African-Americans or Latinos,” Lewis said. Just as rap music rules the charts, hip-hop menswear brands hang alongside iconic labels like Polo and Tommy Hilfiger on department store racks nationwide. ![]() ’09, assistant professor of fiber science and apparel design in the College of Human Ecology.
