COVID will be remembered as a major turning point

 Ten years from now I think we will look back on COVID as our generation’s “Pearl Harbor moment” — a period when extreme adversity spurs innovation and behavioral changes to help address some of the era’s biggest problems. At the time of Pearl Harbor, the U.S. artillery was 75% horse drawn. Let me say that again: In 1941, three quarters of our artillery depended on horses. Yet by the end of the war we had entered the atomic age. That incredible transformation sparked a period of innovation and growth in the U.S. economy that lasted for decades. COVID could be the trigger that spurs us to tackle critical issues over the next decade, such as the cost of health care, education and housing. We’ve already seen the development of COVID vaccines at a speed few thought possible. And we’re doing things in our daily lives we never imagined would happen so quickly.

Face search on web

  Today the web is full of such tools, but it is best to focus on the ones with a very good track record over the years. With that in mind, I'll limit myself to the top four, or better yet, the top 4 from my point of view. If you don't like my choice, you can share yours in the comment section and let's have a worthy discussion. How to search for a face or face on the web You can use any of these free facial recognition search engines to find faces on the internet: 1- PimEyes 2- PicTriev 3- BetaFace 4- Google images 1. PimEyes Having the ability to search for faces from over 10 million websites is an incredible superpower, and that's what  PimEyes   will show you.
