I want to develop good applications in Golang. I would like to explore opencv in python in 2017


"We analyzed this data with the assistance of outside forensic experts and found that it appears to be Yahoo user data"

How the forensic experts could have analysed? based on the log data? my another question is, just assume if yahoo is trying to dump the experts, can it be possible? or else, still the experts be experts to make sense out of it?


Is this english?

From this article, Can i assume the below point?

why postgres is designed such a way of "physical replication" rather than the design of mysql's ONLY "logical replication"?

Because postgres empowering data integrity with help of forceful constraints.


I am from India. Especially from Bangalore. I commute daily 30kms up and down. I am facing breathing polluted air issues. In fact I was looking for good pollution filter masks. But I am unable to get the good one. Since the reviews of them are unsatisfactory

I am trying to come out of this issue at all. At the same time I don't want to leave my lovable tech job.

Anybody experienced the same issues? Any advise ?


For outside, I use a 3M rubbery mask (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MCUT86) along with P100 filters (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007STCT00).

You could also use any of 3M's N95 disposable filters. They look a bit better, but you have to be more careful about getting a good seal when you put them on.

For home, you need to ensure your windows and doors have good seals. Then you need an air purifier (and to regularly change its filters). If you are on a budget, consider this one: http://smartairfilters.com/in/en/product-category/diy/

If money is no object, then get the IQAir Healthpro 250.


Per http://hariharan-ramesh.com/sports.html, it seems like your options are sadly limited, though you could give the linked Respro a shot.


I hear good things about HEPA filters.

http://www.achooallergy.com/3m-6291-hepa-masks/

I'd recommend getting cheap disposable surgical masks as a backup strategy. They won't prevent the air being polluted but they will still filter the tiny particulates in the air that cause so many problems.


> cheap disposable surgical masks as a backup strategy. They won't prevent the air being polluted but they will still filter the tiny particulates in the air that cause so many problems.

This is such a common misconception. Surgical masks are meant to prevent the transmission of diseases by blocking blood droplets etc. from entering your mouth. They are NOT[1] intended nor capable of filtering particles from the air (except perhaps if they are visible to the eye). I see so many individuals in Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and some in China wearing them, but the only role they can play is to (i) keep you warm, (ii) fit in with the locals, (iii) avoid spreading disease, (iv) keep bugs out of your mouth when riding with a moped down the street.

If you want to filter PM2.5 you need proper respirators[2] or activated charcoal masks that can do the job.

I see! HEPA filters are still a good idea I presume.

If you can have plants at work/home that should help. I don't normally like TED talks but this guy seemed to have interesting information on the right kinds.

I think the main challenge isn't how to filter air at home, but when you are traveling outside, e.g., buying groceries, going to work, etc.


Filtering air at home has a big impact, because:

- You have a lot of control over your home's internal environment

- You probably spend 1/3 to 1/2 your time at home

It's also challenging:

- All windows and doors must be sealed from draughts to minimise pollution coming in

- Filter machines must be regularly maintained, and filters replaced

- Windows must be opened for short periods (e.g. 20 mins) a couple of times per day, to let bad gases out, and let oxygen in

Sure, you can wear a mask in other environments, but you probably take the mask for many functions (talking with people, eating).


This is really bad advice. Surgical masks don't filter much of the air you breathe. They don't make a seal, so incoming air takes the easiest path: around the mask, rather than through the mask.


Thanks for the explanation, I was wondering.
