![]() ![]() The 3D scans Pokémon Go players are collecting are intended to create new possibilities in the game, but they will also give Niantic’s platform for AR developers an advantage over competitors. In December 2019, Niantic raised funds at a valuation of USD$3.9 billion. Tech companies and investors think this kind of data is immensely valuable. Niantic’s latest game, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, collects each player’s location every five seconds or so, which is often enough to recognise individual behaviour patterns and detect intimate details of their life. These portals became the underlying infrastructure that powers Pokémon Go and other games, but just as valuable was the data collected about how players moved around the world while playing. In 2012 Niantic launched a game called Ingress, which saw players photograph and upload millions of locations of interest that became “portals” within the game. It stayed part of Google until 2015, when it became an independent company again. In 2010, Keyhole was rebranded as Niantic and focused on games. Keyhole Inc was acquired by Google in 2004, and was instrumental the development of Google Maps. The company developed mapping technologies used by the US military in the early 2000s. Niantic was initially formed as Keyhole Inc by John Hanke in 2001 with backing from the CIA’s tech venture capital firm, In-Q-Tel. One reason for Niantic’s huge success has been how it uses digital games to collect data about the world. These scans, and this type of data collection, will likely affect all of us in the near future. In February, Facebook acquired Scape Technologies, an AR start-up that was creating a 3D map of the entire world, and Microsoft’s Minecraft Earth AR mobile game touts the same kind of planet-scale AR play. Chief executive Jon Hanke announced the companies’ ambitions: "Together, we’re building a dynamic, 3D map of the world so we can enable new kinds of planet-scale AR experiences."Īnd it’s not just Niantic. The game’s developer Niantic also just acquired the AR maps start-up 6D.ai for an undisclosed sum. A new feature within the game will encourage players to create and upload 3D scans of real-world locations. Now Pokémon Go is set to take AR to a new level. In the process it helped popularise augmented reality (AR) technology, which overlays computer-generated imagery on real-world environments. ![]() For the latest on in-game events and feature updates, be sure to check this help center article.In 2016, the mobile game Pokémon Go sent hundreds of millions of players wandering the streets in search of virtual monsters.

Powered-Up PokéStops will have three visually distinct levels, and they’ll level up as more Trainers work together to scan the PokéStop. As more Trainers level 20 and above perform AR scans of a PokéStop, the rewards for spinning it will increase, and the PokéStop will be powered up for a longer period of time. Powered-Up PokéStops will look different on the map, and any Trainer who spins one will earn extra rewards. You’ll be able to power up certain PokéStops and Gyms for a limited period of time by completing AR Mapping tasks. Soon, you’ll be able to work with your fellow Trainers to complete AR Mapping tasks and create exciting new AR experiences for Trainers worldwide, simply by using your smart device to scan real-world PokéStop locations. We’re excited to announce Powered-Up PokéStops, a feature that will make new use of the AR Mapping tasks we introduced last year.

Nimble was founded in 2007 and has approximately 1,300 employees worldwide. This dramatically reduces the amount of time and effort a customer’s IT team spends on support activities. For example, InfoSight automatically detects 90 percent of all issues within a customer’s infrastructure, and resolves over 85 percent of them. In addition, HPE plans to incorporate Nimble’s InfoSight Predictive Analytics platform across its storage portfolio, which will enable a stronger, simplified support experience for HPE customers. ![]() This deal will enable HPE to deliver a full range of superior flash storage solutions for customers across every segment. Nimble’s predictive flash offerings for the entry to midrange segments are complementary to HPE’s scalable midrange to high-end 3PAR solutions and affordable MSA products. ![]() The overall flash market was estimated to be approximately $15 billion in 2016 and is expected to be nearly $20 billion by 2020, with the all-flash segment growing at a nearly 17 percent compound annual growth rate. We remain focused on high-growth and higher-margin segments of the market.”įlash storage is a fast-growing market and an increasingly important element of today’s hybrid IT environment. “And, this acquisition is exactly aligned with the strategy and capital allocation approach we’ve laid out. Nimble Storage’s portfolio complements and strengthens our current 3PAR products in the high-growth flash storage market and will help us deliver on our vision of making Hybrid IT simple for our customers,” said Meg Whitman, President and CEO, Hewlett Packard Enterprise. In addition to the purchase price, HPE will assume or pay out Nimble’s unvested equity awards, with a value of approximately $200 million at closing. HPE will pay $12.50 per share in cash, representing a net cash purchase price at closing of $1.0 billion. Today Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced an agreement to acquire Nimble Storage, the California-based provider of predictive all-flash and hybrid-flash storage solutions. ![]() ![]() For example, if a user removes the Continent attribute from the columns and replaces it with the Year attribute, then the custom formatting rule stops working or could return unexpected results.Īs you can see, simple measures like MinMax can make a significant difference in the usability of a report. For example, you can highlight the presence of large transactions in the underlying data even though the report only shows aggregated values, or you can highlight a difference with a reference value that goes beyond a predefined threshold.īecause the measure must internally rebuild the exact values shown in the matrix, the measure used for the conditional formatting strongly depends on the matrix where it is being used. In other reports, you can use the same approach to highlight cells based on different business rules. We used this technique to highlight the minimum and maximum values in the matrix. We configure the conditional formatting of the matrix so that it uses the information provided by the MinMax measure to color the cell background with the following rule.īy using this configuration, we obtain the desired result. The MinMax measure returns 1 only for the cell with the minimum value, 2 for the cell with the maximum value, and blank otherwise. The MinMax measure must return a number because otherwise, it cannot be used in the conditional formatting panel. Finally, it checks if the current value of the measure is the minimum, the maximum, or any other value: It then identifies the minimum and maximum values among all the ones computed. We need a MinMax measure that rebuilds the full result of the matrix in a temporary table. As we discuss later, we can use the same technique to highlight cells with an arbitrary business rule. We can obtain this result by mixing conditional formatting of the background with a measure that returns a number indicating whether the current cell is the minimum or the maximum of all the cells in the matrix. The following picture shows a matrix that highlights the best/worst cases. In other words, we want to highlight the cell with the maximum value – the best combination of continent and brand in the previous picture – and the minimum value – the worst combination of brand and continent. However, there are cases where we want to identify the best and worst figures in a matrix full of numbers. The conditional feature in Power BI can improve data visualization, highlighting the higher and lower values with different background colors. The matrix itself is not highlighting the most relevant information, nor guiding our eyes where it matters. If we were to search for specific kinds of information by just looking at the numbers, we would be on our own. If we look for geographical areas where some brands do not sell well, we can start the investigation with a matrix like the one below. We look at the sales of Contoso in different countries and years. In this example, we show how to highlight relevant information in a matrix by formatting the desired cells. Conditional formatting is a handy feature in Power BI combined with DAX skills, conditional formatting can produce excellent results. ![]() As much as I love Salma Hayek, I must say that the girl from Rammstein’s video was more suitable for the part. Now, if you’ve watched both videos, you can see there is great resemblance between them. One year later, Rammstein deliberately took inspiration for their Engel video from this movie. And guess who played the dance in the movie? – The extremely sexy Salma Hayek! And who is the subject of Salma’s baptise in this movie? Well, Tarantino, of course! □ So, there is no myth about a whore of Babylon baptizing with whiskey lost souls, it’s a story made up by Tarantino and his friends. Instead, the story itself was written by Robert Kurtzman for the movie From Dusk Till Dawn (1996). The screenplay was written by no other than Quentin Tarantino and the directing was made by Robert Rodriguez. ![]() I thought this little “story” was a myth or something like this. I like to think that the dancer represents the whore of Babilon dancing with the devil and baptizing poor Flake with the sinners’ water. Although she doesn’t appear in the video, it seems that one time she did sing on stage with Rammstein (according to this guy, they sung together in Parkbühne Wuhlheide show in Berlin in 1998).Īnyhow, here is the amazing video with its amazing dance scene: On Rammstein Belgium (best Rammstein fan page) I found a copy from what it looks to be a magazine: Source: Īlthough no one knows the dancer’s name, we do know the female singer’s name. Update: Happily, someone pointed out that the dancer’s name is Cécile Dütsch (here is her Linkedin account). The dancer is very expressive but unfortunately I couldn’t find her name. I particularly liked the woman’s dance with the snake and whiskey pouring part. “Engel” (1997) was one of the first Rammstein videos I’ve watched. ![]() The black community is no freer from the self-interested drive to consolidate and maintain power at all costs – only they are limited by white oppression. However, this ideology is flawed: although the Brotherhood is originally interested in combating oppression, it is clear that characters like Brother Jack come to relish their power above any other altruistic motive. ![]() By suggesting that all events are part of a science of history that can be perfectly understood, they seek to impose their subjective vision on others who buy into their philosophy. The Brotherhood is one of the best examples of another group that uses a powerful narrative that seems to perfectly explain the world. These men arm themselves with the story that they are upstanding businessmen and community leaders, but this narrative is in contradiction with their naked desire to maintain power. The very moment they sense a threat from the narrator (when he mentions the word “equality”), they prepare to destroy him. At the novel’s beginning the narrator is exposed to the white power elite of his town, who act one way in the public eye but have no shame about their racist and sexist actions within a private club. Throughout the novel, the narrator encounters powerful institutions and individuals, all of which are bent on maintaining influence over events.

This emulsion is a toning moisturizer that is supposed to help “purify, moisturize and revitalize dry, aged or wrinkled skin”. I love the fact that it has a pump and that it’s packaged in a very simple and classic bottle. Weird, I know.Īmazing Grace absorbs very quickly and leaves the skin feeling very smooth and soft, but not overly moisturized or greasy. I have no idea why, but whenever I smell this lotion, I just think of traveling to Europe. I know that this is going to sound hella weird, but this lotion, to me, smells like Europe. It’s a very delightful, fresh, soft and clean scent that reminds me a little of a Nivea cream, but it’s much more subtle. It smells so nice, to the point that I don’t feel the need to wear perfume. Not only that, but the smell lingers on your skin forever, literally, it lasts until you wash it off in the shower. I have to say, that this is the BEST smelling lotion that I have ever used. “Chock full of luscious moisturizing properties including shea butter, macadamia nut, and olive oils for a unique blend of antioxidants and vitamins E and C, this enchanting, creamy emulsion creates soft, touchable, and subtly scented skin.” ![]() I’ve never been disappointed by anything from Philosophy and the Amazing Grace firming emulsion is no different.
