<img class="" src="http://mrservice.help/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/snap-ceo-evan-spiegel-basically-says-the-snapchat-redesign-is-here-to-stay.jpg"/>Despite a lot of backlash over a big redesign for the Snapchat app — which to be sure is a very big deal for a product-centric company like Snap — Snap CEO Evan Spiegel vigorously defended the redesign and basically said people need to get used to it. 
Spiegel said at the Goldman Sachs Internet & Technology Conference that even people complaining about the app was a sort of validation that the changes the company wants to happen are, indeed, happening. Snap aimed to try to separate the idea of communication and broadcasting with Snap into similar buckets, rather than the features being kind of mixed up (like Stories being on a right swipe). 
“The tech is an important piece but I think the harder part you can’t get around is the time it takes to learn,” Spiegel said. “You do need folks to use the product, to communicate with their friends to learn how to better provide that feed. The tech to some degree is a solved problem, the time to… to learn is a hard problem to solve. Even the complaints we’re seeing reinforce the philosophy. Even the frustrations we’re seeing really validate those changes. It’ll take time for people to adjust, but for me using it for a couple months I feel way more attached to the service.” 
Of course, Spiegel can say these things on stage and then end up changing his mind. But as Snap faces increasing competition from companies looking to clone some of its products — Instagram stories, basically — Snap has had to look at some pretty significant changes to see if it can keep its users engaged and continue to grow. That being said, the Snapchat app could continue to go through tweaks and shifts, so it’s hard to tell where things will end up over the course of the next few months. 
As with any significant changes, Snap faced a ton of backlash, but maybe found it had to stay the course. Of course, Spiegel said on stage that it’s basically flattering that people want to copy the app. (Founders often call this “validation of the business,” because why not.) 
Snap reported its fourth-quarter earnings earlier this month, which beat some expectations and sent the shares soaring at essentially rocket ship status. Snap has come quite close to recovering from the significant crash it had through its first year as a public company, something Spiegel said — like many fresh CEOs often say — has made them a better company. As a public company, Snap is much more beholden to public investors and has a newfound fiduciary duty to get its business in order. 
Spiegel also said the company is less focused on specific geographies as it looks to continue to grow, and more focused on making sure its users actually understand the app when the join and are able to start communicating with your friends. “We’re really focused on, how when you come into our service, do you understand stories, do you understand maps,” Spiegel said. 
Spiegel has repeated the refrain that Snap is going to be a camera company, emphasizing that the idea of what a camera is used for has changed over time. But Snap has also created a kind of portfolio of products around Snapchat like content and the Snap Maps feature. Spiegel also said, for example, that 30 million people have watched content related to the Olympics at the conference. All this is geared toward getting people to find a bunch of different use cases for the app, which can get them to come back over and over and keep more engaged. 
“The thing that drives the business is fundamentally the engagement around the products,” Spiegel said. “That needs to be there first. Even at the time full-screen vertical video ads, no one will make those, what we’ve seen is the value delivered by getting the fundamentals right will drive the business… There’s creation, people making snaps, there’s communication which drives the frequency of use — sometimes people don’t realize, we monetize across all three behaviors.”

Nvidia to create surveillance cameras that can track and identify faces in public

Nvidia to create surveillance cameras that can track and identify faces in public
 [ad_1] 
 <img src="http://mrservice.help/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/nvidia-to-create-surveillance-cameras-that-can-track-and-identify-faces-in-public.jpg" /> <div itemprop="articleBody" id="article-body"> 
In a bid to capture the emerging surveillance and security solutions market, Nvidia under its Metropolis program has partnered with an Israel based AI developer AnyVision. The two companies will work towards developing smart cities by installing automatic facial recognition CCTV surveillance cameras.Although the technology is not in India yet, but you can get an idea from James Bond movies where finding a person with matching facial features is a matter of few clicks. Mashable reports that AnyVision’s technology enables cameras that can scan for faces round the clock without uninterruptedly. The company also claims that it can automatically identify and track individuals within a large crowd with 99% accuracy. Which is later aided by algorithms working with human monitors to compare and identify a face with its database without compromising personal data that CCTV cameras collect. Their technology is not restricted to just one platform, but can also be accessed on the go. That means you can use it with laptops, tablets and even mobile phones. It allows operators to identify and add suspects to a centralised database, and even receive notifications when the suspect is around.While this technology seems terrifying and breaches privacy, it is can also help to society if we look at a bigger picture. It cannot just help in tracking down terrorists and criminals, but it can also identify unregistered faces and suspicious behaviour. At most, it can also be used to find individuals who have gone missing.India is currently moving towards developing a set of cities into smart cities, which includes CCTV surveillance but without face recognition. Thanks to Aadhaar, Indian government has more than 118.64 crore population having already enrolled with the UID scheme. That means India has enough facial data registered so that may serve as a help to such technology, one day, hopefully. </div>

Bitcoin rises above $10,000, strategist sees new high by July

Bitcoin rises above $10,000, strategist sees new high by July
 [ad_1] 
 <div> 
 
 NEW YORK: Bitcoin rose above $10,000 on Thursday for the first time in more than two weeks, as investors bought back the digital currency after having fallen 70 percent from its all-time peak hit in mid-December. 
 Bitcoin has been buffeted this year by a series of negative headlines centering around increased scrutiny by global regulators. There has also been the incidence of hacks on exchanges, the latest being the theft of roughly $532.9 million in digital money from Tokyo-based cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck a few weeks ago. 
 The first digital currency was also affected by the risk-off mood that permeated financial markets since the beginning of the year, undermining views that bitcoin's price moves are generally uncorrelated to other asset classes. Sentiment on risk assets such as stocks and bitcoin has since improved. 
 Thomas Lee, managing partner at Fundstrat Global Advisors, sees a new record peak for bitcoin by July, based on the currency's 22 corrections since 2010. 
 On the Luxembourg-based Bitstamp, bitcoin rose as high as $10,234 and was last at $10,123.12, up nearly 7 percent on the day. 
 "Bitcoin's increase has coincided with the rally in global stock markets," said Miles Eakers, chief market analyst, at FX brokerage Centtrip, adding that a sustained break above $10,000 could open the $12,000 level. 
 The original cryptocurrency gained more than 1,300 percent last year, capped by a lifetime peak just shy of $20,000 on Dec. 17. 
 Other digital currencies also rose after posting steep losses the last few weeks. Ethereum, the second-largest by market value, was up 2.5 percent over the past 24 hours at $933.24, while the third-largest, Ripple, gained 5.3 percent to $1.15, according to cryptocurrency price tracker coinmarketcap.com. 
 Fundstrat's Lee said bitcoin is still in a bull market phase even after a 70 percent selloff. 
 "During bull periods, bitcoin recoveries take 1.7 times the duration of the decline and implies that 85 days are needed to recover prior highs-this is July 2018," Lee said. 
 
 He added that 2018 will remain a strong year for cryptocurrencies, but he sees the larger and more established blockchain networks such as bitcoin and ethereum dominating again. 
 
 As bitcoin recovered, European Central Bank executive board member Yves Mersch warned in a speech in Paris on Thursday that bitcoin is not a currency, but a speculative digital asset, according to a Market News International report. 
 
 He added that because virtual currencies do not have a trusted issuer behind them, "they may become worthless at any time." 
 
 Mersch said he is not surprised that virtual currencies are not widely accepted as a means of payment.

After Oreo update, no Sony Xperia phone will have 'night mode' option

After Oreo update, no Sony Xperia phone will have 'night mode' option
 [ad_1] 
 <div id="review-body"> 
 
Sony's Xperia XA1 series of phones come with a "Good night actions," feature through which users can reduce the blue light of the display. However, the company has now confirmed that the functionality will be stripped off in the Oreo update. 
 
The confirmation came in the form of a response to a user-query on Twitter. 
 
<center><img class="inline-image" src="http://mrservice.help/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/after-oreo-update-no-sony-xperia-phone-will-have-night-mode-option.png"/></center> 
 
Plus, the company also said there are currently no plans to add such a feature to other Xperia phones. 
 
Now, given that the feature in question is currently only limited to the Xperia XA1 lineup, the aforementioned confirmation means none of the company's smartphones will have blue light filtering functionality post the Oreo update. 
 
For what it's worth, Sony had introduced a ‘Night Light’ mode in its concept builds sometime back, but never brought that feature into its stable software channel. As you can see in the screenshot above, the company is now suggesting users to go for third-party night mode applications.

Xiaomi likely to launch Redmi Note 5 today: Expected features, price and more

Xiaomi likely to launch Redmi Note 5 today: Expected features, price and more
 [ad_1] 
 <div>New Delhi: Chinese handset maker Xiaomi is all set to announce its first new product for the year in India on Wednesday. 
Xiaomi has been releasing series of tweets and teaser posts lately that hint at the launch of Redmi Note 5 – touted to be the successor to Redmi Note 4. 
Although Xiaomi has not clearly mentioned as to which device it will launch today, the name "redminote5" was spotted in the code of the Mi.com website. This led to media speculations that the upcoming device will be Redmi Note 5. 
Xiaomi has tweeted: 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">Mi fans! Join the 1st Mi product launch of 2018 on Feb 14 at 12 noon. #GiveMe5 Click the link to see how the event unfolds - https://t.co/S7i6sjV9la pic.twitter.com/wBmdZgJ6aq 
— Redmi India (@RedmiIndia) February 9, 2018</blockquote> 
A lot about the Redmi Note 5 has already been leaked online. Based on these leaked reports, it seems that the Redmi Note 5 will have an 18:9 aspect ratio with bezel-less design. It may feature a 5.99-inch full-HD+ display, Android 8.0 Oreo-based MIUI 9 build. Under the hood the device may house a Snapdragon 636 processor. 
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 may be priced a tad above Rs 15,000 as per leaked reports. The handset will most likely be up for flash sale next week on both Mi.com and Flipkart. 
A recent teaser release by Xiaomi also hints at launch of one more device today. The teaser video just shows a little edge of a mystery device and that doesn’t resemble a smartphone. People are shown looking at a slim device from various angles fuelling speculations on the launch of its Mi TV 4.

As tech automates, Blinkist keeps its book summary service very human

As tech automates, Blinkist keeps its book summary service very human
 [ad_1] 
 <div> 
 
 
 
<iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="390" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tEMPR17cBKU?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;"></iframe> 
 
When I first heard of Blinkist, a service that breaks down recent nonfiction books to easily digestible snippets and audio, I was afraid it would turn out to be some machine-learning-driven auto-summary thing. But in talking to co-founder Niklas Jansen at Blinkist’s headquarters in Berlin, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the company is still very much people-powered — and in fact, that may be the root of its continuing success. 
The basic idea of Blinkist is to take the best of new nonfiction and condense it into pieces just a minute or two long, with entire books summed up in a series of these “blinks” totaling 15 minutes or so. Titles are added regularly, harvested from best sellers, top-10 lists and user wishlists and suggestions. 
So far, so normal. But where Blinkist tries to differentiate is in the quality of these summaries. Anyone can read a book and give you a rundown of each chapter, and there are automated summary services that will do something like that, as well. But it takes someone familiar with the field and well-versed in how to communicate that information to do it well. 
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1599234" height="576" src="http://mrservice.help/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/as-tech-automates-blinkist-keeps-its-book-summary-service-very-human.jpg" width="1013" />But wouldn’t it take a huge collection of experts, PhDs, authors and so on to keep up with the variety of nonfiction being published? Yes it would, and building just such a collection is where Blinkist has put a great deal of its resources. 
As a subscription service, it has steady revenues that it can deploy intelligently, maintaining a large network of experts whom it can call on to do the critical work of dissecting a book, picking out its important parts and writing them up in a compelling way. But these summaries aren’t intended to be comprehensive — that’s why they’re called summaries. 
“What’s important is that Blinkist is not intended to replace the book,” Jansen said. “We think of Blinkist as the bridge between no book and the book. There’s always a case why you should go on and buy the full book afterwards.” (And of course a link is provided.) 
I was afraid, going in, that I would find out that Blinkist also did this for fiction, which I feel would defeat the point of reading it. After all, the idea in fiction is not to learn some core ideas and see them demonstrated or evidenced, but to experience a story — and the pacing, language and dialogue are critical to that. Fortunately, Blinkist understands this as well, and that is the very reason the team has not attempted it. Nonfiction is just a much more logical choice. 
I must admit here that I don’t read a lot of modern nonfiction — none, really. But that doesn’t mean none of these books sound interesting to me. Blinkist seems to cater to types like myself: readers with more curiosity than time. 
It’s reassuring to see a modern startup relying so heavily on the human element. Blinkist costs $50 a year to start, which sure isn’t free, but you could think of it like a “feed the humanities PhDs” fund.

Electric airplane start-up Eviation aims to enter service in 2021 after battery deal

Electric airplane start-up Eviation aims to enter service in 2021 after battery deal
 [ad_1] 
 <div> 
 
 SINGAPORE: Electric airplane start-up Eviation Aircraft Ltd is aiming for its 9-seat commuter aircraft to be flying passengers by 2021 after signing up South Korea's Kokam as its battery supplier, the Israeli company's chief executive said on Thursday. 
 Venture capital-backed Eviation is one of a number of companies looking to develop small electric aircraft that would incur lower energy and operating costs, release less emissions and be quieter than their conventionally fuelled counterparts. 
 Airbus SE, Boeing Co and Uber Technologies Inc are also investigating electric and hybrid aircraft technology. 
 Eviation CEO Omer Bar-Yohay said his firm signed a deal with Kokam last week because, as a smaller supplier, Kokam was able to make batteries more specific to his company's needs. 
 "If I would go today to Samsung or Panasonic or LG Chem or Tesla for that matter and say I need a different cell size, they will probably laugh because the number of cells we are going to buy is not significant enough to start the design process," he told Reuters in a phone interview. 
 The battery will have 9,400 cells distributed throughout the aircraft including the ceiling, floor and wings, weighing 3.8 tonnes, or 60 percent of the maximum takeoff weight. 
 Electric airplanes are reliant on improvements in battery technology, which is why smaller aircraft are likely to be electrified years before large commercial jets. 
 Batteries are heavy and store far less energy per kilogram than jet fuel, but the ratio is improving gradually each year, allowing electric cars and airplanes longer ranges than they had previously. 
 Eviation's "Alice" airplane is expected to have a range of up to 650 nautical miles (1200 kilometres), compared to 1000 nautical miles for a similar-sized conventional Cessna Caravan. It will cost $2 million-plus, on par with the Cessna, but have far lower fuel and maintenance costs, Bar-Yohay said. 
 
 Eviation hopes to fly the Alice demonstrator for the first time by the end of the year, with the first public display at the Paris Airshow in mid-2019, he said. Moving to commercial production after that would require raising around $100 million of capital. 
 
 Given the advantages of going electric, major manufacturers are also investing in electric and hybrid aircraft technology. 
 
 Seattle-area startup Zunum Aero, backed by the venture capital arms of Boeing and JetBlue Airways Corp, announced plans in October to bring a 12-seat hybrid-electric commuter aircraft to market by 2022. 
 
 Airbus is working on the CityAirbus concept, a four-passenger electric aircraft capable of vertical takeoffs and landings, with the first demonstrator flight expected later this year. Ride-hailing firm Uber is exploring a similar concept with Uber Elevate.

Amazon Echo devices in India now available to all customers

Amazon Echo devices in India now available to all customers
 [ad_1] 
 <div id="review-body"> 
 
Amazon has opened up the sales of the Echo devices in India to everyone. The devices can now be purchased online through Amazon.in and offline through 350 retail stores across 20 cities, including Croma, Reliance, Vijay Sales, Crossword and more. 
 
 
<img class="inline-image" height="339" src="http://mrservice.help/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/amazon-echo-devices-in-india-now-available-to-all-customers.jpg" width="728"/>Amazon first launched the Echo series in India back in October 2017 but back then the devices were only available on an invite basis. It took the company four months to open up the sales for everyone, during which time it mostly spent making Alexa better. 
 
Alexa in India has been revamped considerably to work with Indian voices and requirements. Alexa itself has a different and a more familiar voice in India. A new feature available now that wasn't available before is Alexa to Alexa voice calling to voice call your friends and family. The Drop-in feature is also enabled, which works for room to room calling, and lets you reach out to people in your house by telling Alexa to drop in on a particular room. 
 
The Echo is available in three versions, the Echo Dot (INR 4499), the Echo (INR 9999) and the Echo Plus (INR 14,999).
