Hi HN, what are your favorite IR depth cameras or Time of Flight cameras?

I came across Intel RealSense and MyntEye, but wondering if there are any other major players out there? Which camera comes with a better library or Python support?

Thanks!

You might have noticed many videos shared from a Chinese app like this one: https://i.imgur.com/gDbbhjP.gifv

What strikes me is their logo. I have never seen any other video logo stutter and color shift. Is it merely a flashy aesthetic choice, or is there some other technical wizardry going on?

Tether claims and believes that their tokens are backed 1:1 by US Dollars. However, this claim has a catch.

Tether + BitFinex have been running a new business model since they lost their bank accounts. B&T agreements with affiliated exchanges are something along the lines of "Here are $100 mill worth of Tethers, now please hold $100 mill cash in your account for us".

When affiliate X transfers Tethers to affiliate Y, Tether instructs Y to pay X directly. When a Bitfinex customer wants to withdraw funds, they match-make customers to do the same kind of transfers.

This model of leaving funds under control of affiliates is what caused problems for Friedman LLP auditors in completing their audit.

Also potentially US Regulators can consider this business model a Hawala model.
