I think that some parts of the text are genius, like the library imagery, and the pre cognitive part, which is fascinating because there are some people that don't have inner speech (a), and the study that suggests that we decide earlier than we know (b).

Thanks @dotcoma, thought it may be useful for more people as a generic question instead of personally for me.

I used it and loved it a lot, thank you!

If you are not sleeping with a blanket, I'm suggesting either video recording yourself (e.g. with a cellphone) and after that running a pose estimation model over the video, or running the model live (this one seems promising: https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/examples/pose_estimation/ove... ), if you are sleeping with a blanket, the model may need training. Then once you have the pose estimations, it should be easier to analyze. Please contact me if you want us to try together.

Hi @somenewaccount1, would love to know, what are your expectations from a better app?

Hi @softwaredoug, I would also like to know how detection helps. FYI I assume a Convolutional Neural Network could easily do it, the tech' is very accessible, would love to further discuss this.

I had an idea to do a site that verifies the authenticity of such movies, the content creator should sign the link through this site: https://movieverify.com/ If it interests someone, please contact me, any help will be appreciated.

Hi, I have no idea from the psychological point of view, but maybe (a) to practice interviews would help? I don't mind helping with remote simulations. (b) consider saying you are very stressful at the start of the interview so they will take it into account (c) if the interview doesn't go well maybe say you find interviews stressful and ask for an home exam, you can also ask before the interview. (d) maybe have a friend in the room with you during the interview (depending on the camera position they may not see him/her) (e) consider saying in advance you have anxiety, need to consider if telling this will indeed increase the chance of landing the job. (f) consider taking research jobs, and generally jobs where communication isn't constant and job pace is slower, also companies with few people may be good if you don't need to interact with clients etc. (g) does shutting down the camera helps? Maybe tell you have a camera issue or ask if it's possible to do the interview without a camera. (h) usually the more interviews you do, the more experience you get at doing interviews and success chances are higher, I think that applies to anyone, so it's ok to fail interviews, as long as you keep trying you'll probably succeed, as long as you remember failing is a way to improve for the next time, and don't take it as something that says anything negative about your skills or you, I've found interviews to be a subject on its own, one that often needs dedicated practicing.

My experience is from a different country but some tips may still apply: * The first job may be the hardest to land, and may take months, be strong, it's often much easier after that. * Very important: there are two stages at landing a job, being called for interviews and succeeding at the interviews, if the first is the challenge she may want to improve her CV, if the other she may want to improve her interviews skills. Assuming the first stage is the challenge, maybe her CV and LinkedIn aren't optimized, don't contain the right keywords, etc. You or someone you know may be able to ramp up her CV, probably someone with experience in the industry, often while interviewing her to add any relevant experiences: if she'll try to remember, there may be experiences and projects that can contribute once written in a suitable lingo, now is not the time to be humble, if an experience had programming then it's a 'developer experience', etc. At the end of the process her CV should be visually satisfying, contain the relevant buzz words, and hopefully have more rows of experience than before, with more suitable and impressing work titles (if you aren't a CV guru or don't know one, someone online may help). * If a long time has passed since her graduation, it may become an issue as well (there's a fallacy that talented people are hired fast) so don't emphasize it by writing the exact date. * She should probably send her CV to several dozen places each day * Consider a CV for every job type (one for ML, one for C++, etc.) * Stackoverflow has remote jobs, this could enlarge the amount of jobs available * Time to call friends and family members and ask if their company is looking, many places have a referral bonus so they'll want to help too. * Not sure if it'll work in the Zoom era, but it may be good to attend Meetups and technical gatherings, sometimes people use those as recruitment platforms, and mingling may also create leads. * Time to call the friends who learned with her, did they get a job? How did they get it? Is their company looking for people? * Join online/mail/WhatsApp groups of people looking and offering jobs * Did she try talking to Placement Companies? * She can take the QA gig, and try to automate it as much as possible to create experience. But she will want to keep sending resumes and attending interviews while doing the gig. * She can join open source projects, hackathons, etc. It may enrich her resume and provide networking opportunities. * She can also create open source projects, e.g. if she had ML experience, a simple project with a few lines of code may still look good on her CV with a cool project idea and a link to the repository. * Is she a part of an organized social group? time to ask them if they know of jobs. * Not sure if partial/student jobs are easier to land, but if they do, it may be a good opportunity to enter a company and search for a full time position from within, or just using the job to enhance the resume and get some money while keeping on sending CVs.

I Hope some of those will help, be strong, taking a lot of time for the first job happens to a lot of people (maybe even to most people), it's not her, just the way the market treat the 'new folks', something that happens regardless of how talented she really is.

Just saw a show about this, it seems that children, even at ages of 9, have a tendency to put small stuff in their mouths and/or nasal cavities (even as part of playing, to 'hide' it, etc.) If this is done with a button battery, it can cause lasting damage within hours (e.g. two hours). Please be careful, found guidelines in here: https://www.rch.org.au/kidsinfo/fact_sheets/Safety_Button_ba... https://www.health.qld.gov.au/news-events/news/button-batter...

Will this effect low end CPU prices?

Nice :) Laughed at http://startuperlife.xyz/38

Me too, it's awesome indeed, not sure we could have collaborated without it. Many thanks.

Looks very nice and a nice idea :) you could expand the idea to other fields (like going over bills, etc.) Makes me think of a backward Tamagotchi where the computer takes care of the human :)

Hi, congrats, looks awesome (loved the look!! (and feel and sounds)), I would love it to be easier.

Loved the general idea and the non-programmer manual. Would also love if it will be ported to http://www.pygame.org/project-Pyjsdl-2888-4709.html in the future, so it could be played from browsers.

Updated cost estimation of the attractions, restaurants and transportation.

Hi, Not on expert on get-back-to-tech but I vote for: * Keep sending resumes. * Do some side projects, and emphasis them on the resume. For example if you'll create some cool site (check free tier servers) it may be something to show potential employers. * If you have patience and enough will-power: Take any position in a tech company, and hope to improve position within that company. You'll have better chances if you'll go to a growing company.

Thank you, this input will help keep things in proportion :).

Thanks for the input, it's highly appreciated. Agree about the barriers. This one doesn't need plug-ins on Android and is easy to install, so maybe it'll have a chance :).

Hi, what do you think? thanks in advance! :).

Nice, thanks. How about running this script all the time, just in case there will be a DDOS?
