Lucid Interview, Samsung Galaxy Note 9, Samsung Galaxy Home
First Segment: Lucid. Han Jin, CEO/Co-Founder.
The human brain has solved depth with only two eyes since our existence, but technology is still behind while using short-term hardware solutions which are expensive, energy-consuming and bulky. As software is eating everything, we believe in a pure software solution similar to the way we perceive depth and the world. It starts with learning from data and growing the capabilities of 3D vision to the next level like a baby seeing their environment for the first time and understanding the space, objects and movements as it matures. Lucid has built up an enormous database of 3D data which allows any dual camera to be trained on and match the performance of other hardware depth systems.

The Beautiful.AI team has spent decades working on other people’s presentations—writing them, designing them, and building software to make them. During that time, we’ve watched way too many people bang their heads against the wall trying to turn ideas into visual presentations. And so we decided to do something about it.

COMPUTER AMERICA; ALL LINUX SHOW
Shiny!
Introduction
Before we get started, you should really follow my Flipboard and YouTube channels and personal Websites.
"Cooking With Linux" on Flipboard https://flipboard.com/@wftl/cooking-with-linux-oun4gv1ly
My own site is http://marcelgagne.com where I talk about whatever comes into my head, including Linux and Open Source software. If you just want the Linux and Open Source stuff, head over tohttp://cookingwithlinux.com .
Other Stuff
I've started doing a regular Tuesday Cooking with Linux without a net for my old friends at the Linux Journal, every Tuesday at 12 Noon eastern time.
Also, I am also doing a little work with LPI, aka the Linux Professional Institute.
LPI is the corner of the movement created to help people turn their interest in open source into careers and entrepreneurship. Founded by an IT educator (Dan York) and an open source advocate (me) in 1999, LPI has delivered almost a half million certification exams around the world. Its ongoing goal is to help people who want to gain and prove and maintain their open source skills.
Until next time . . . A votre santé! Bon appétit!

Mighteor Interview, Nikola Fuel Cell Truck, iOS 11 Overview, Youtube Subscriptio
First Segment: Mighteor. Dr. Jason Kahn, Co-Founder
"Most interventions fail kids because kids do not want them. We had to build a new tool from scratch. Kids respond to emotions differently than adults do. They can feel big emotions and act out in unfamiliar ways. Our program had to be fun and meet kids on their level. Kids love video games and games mimic life. Video games are the perfect tool to help kids grapple with emotional control. You try, fail, then try again. We started with rigorous scientific studies and then piloted with 100 families in their homes. Kids played. Symptoms abated and families were less stressed. Our reach was limited at Boston Children’s Hospital. It was time to launch Mighteor. Emotional strength empowers kids to succeed in life. Our mission is to help millions of kids discover their emotional strength. We provide families a proven tool they can use in their home. We keep kids engaged with new games and content every month. We welcome you to join us on this journey." - Mighteor

Cyberwarfare has become a very real part of our business, our government, our technology and our culture.
