Stephanie McGeary / Today @ 12:05 p.m. / History (CORRECTION!) This Short Film Of Arcata in 1968 A Long Time Ago Shows How Much the Town Has (And Hasn’t) Changed Over the Last Five Decades Arcata, California 1968 from Mark Pahuta on Vimeo.###CORRECTION: Kudos to eagle-eyed commenter Ross Rowley (hi, Ross!) who notes that this film is certainly incorrectly dated. Rowley notes that Arcata Exchage was not open in 1968 — true — and another commenter says that he sees a ‘70s-model Camaro in here. (Emailer Jeff Russell also noticed the Arcata Exchange anachronism.)Most obviously, though — and this is the Outpost’s personal biggest D’oh! — the freeway bypass through the center of town was not built until 1976. So we’re looking at late ‘70s here, probably.Still fun!###We’ve all been through a lot of change in the last year and sometimes it’s comforting to be reminded that some things manage to stay the same — especially in Arcata, as you will see in this video “Arcata, California and Humboldt State College,” shot on eight-millimeter film in 1968 some time ago, but definitely later than 1968 and shared on Vimeo by Mark Pahuta. OK, so maybe a few things have changed — the name of Humboldt State University, for one. There are also some other observable differences between the film and modern-day Arcata. Like: the McKinley Statue is no longer at the center of the Plaza, and once-popular dive Marino’s burned down many years ago. The cars and clothes are quite different too, of course. Screenshot from the videoBut you will also notice that the facades of many iconic Arcata buildings — such as Arcata Liquors, Everett’s, Toby and Jacks, the Alibi and Fourth Street Market — have changed relatively little in the last five decades. Though the name has changed many times, much of…

Peliculas Nobles, a filmmaker-led VOD platform for Argentine films, is launching Nov. 16. Argentina’s Gema Juarez Allen of Gema Films and Diego Dubcovsky of BD Cine and Varsovia Cine have kicked off the new initiative in response to the dearth of platforms for homegrown titles. The idea first arose from observing that a great number of Argentine catalog films couldn’t find spaces or platforms, said Juarez Allen. Classics like the 2003 gem by Albertina Carri, “Los Rubios,” were left in limbo. “Many filmmakers whose films are not programmed or acquired by platforms — or whose contracts were discontinued — were forced to hire Vimeo on Demand individually or just open their links for free,” she explained. “We decided to start organizing this platform and offer a very generous deal that would allow them to receive the same amount per transaction as if they, for instance, hired Vimeo on Demand themselves,” she said. Given the scarcity of platforms for even more recent Argentine titles, Peliculas Nobles will eventually serve as a launchpad for them. With independent cinemas shuttering, some permanently, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and no government bailout in sight, the need for Peliculas Nobles has become even more acute, observed Juarez Allen. Diego Dubcovsky and Gema Juarez Allen Courtesy of Peliculas Nobles Peliculas Nobles’ main mission is to centralize the search for both classic and recent Argentine films, not unlike its counterpart in Colombia, mowies.com, that boasts the largest collection of Colombian films, but has expanded its service across the region and plans to set up operations in Europe. Peliculas Nobles will launch with some 70 features and shorts and from thereon, three or four titles will be added each month. These will include co-productions with Argentina, Juarez Allen pointed out. Among the works will be titles by renowned…

OODA Analyst 2020-11-12Ragnar Locker group has taken out public Facebook ads, threatening to release stolen data obtained from a ransomware attack against Italian liquor seller Campari. The attack occurred on November 3 and resulted in the theft of 2TB of sensitive data. Ragnar operators are demanding a $15 million ransom be paid in Bitcoin to avoid the release of the data. This case of taking out public ads is a new unique spin on the double extortion ransomware tactic commonly used by threat actors.The Facebook ads contribute to the extortion pressure and make it clear to Campari that the threat actor group is not messing around in terms of ransom demands. The advertisements also make the incident extremely public and give it the ability to spread via the popular social media platform. The ads were first spotted on November 9 and were seen by 7,000 users before being removed by Facebook.Read More: Ragnar Locker Ransomware Gang Takes Out Facebook Ads in Key New Tactic OODA AnalystOODA is comprised of a unique team of international experts capable of providing advanced intelligence and analysis, strategy and planning support, risk and threat management, training, decision support, crisis response, and security services to global corporations and governments.

Representative image&nbsp Key Highlights This would be Twitter's attempt to let users decide if they want to view graphic media that contains sexual content or nudity on their DMs According to a screenshot shared by Wong Twitter users would be able to enable or disable the ‘filter graphic media' option In a bid to let users decide if they want to view graphic media that contains sexual content or nudity on their direct messages or DMs, Twitter is working to introduce a new feature that filters graphic media in direct messages, according to reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong. According to the reverse engineering expert, the micro-blogging site could roll out the feature only to DMs and the screenshot which Wong shared suggested that Twitter users would be able to enable or disable the ‘filter graphic media' option on their Twitter accounts. Once enabled, users would be able to see a 'warning' displayed over graphic content sent via DMs that potentially contain nudity or violence. Social media giants such as Twitter and Facebook have been battling to block sexual or sensitive content on their respective platforms for quite some time and this feature, when it sees the light of the day, would help in blocking violent or sexual content sent via DMs. Meanwhile, in a bid to give way to meaningful conversations this Diwali, earlier this week, Twitter India launched the Happy Diwali emoji which is extended out on a palm, and its flame sparkles when one opts for the Lights Out dark mode. The new #HappyDiwali emoji can be activated when the Twitteratti uses hashtags such as #LightUpALife, #EkZindagiKaroRoshan, #HappyDiwali, #HappyDeepavali, #Diwali, #Deepavali. It can also be activated when users use hashtags in regional Indian languages such as Hindi, Bengali, Odia, Gujarat among others. “Lately, many people are coming forward on Twitter…

As Play Music nears deprecation, Google continues to update its successor with more and more features. YouTube Music is now working on Snapchat and Instagram story sharing, but the functionality is not yet live. If you have Instagram or Snapchat installed on your Android device, YouTube Music’s custom share sheet features two new targets. “Instagram stories” and “Snapchat stories” look to be generated by the streaming service and not the default ones — as determined by the square icon shape — offered by the social apps. At the moment, tapping either crashes YouTube Music. However, it’s clear what functionality Google is working towards. Similar to Apple Music and Spotify, you’ll presumably be able to share a story that features the song you’re listening to. This should include album artwork and artist name, as well as some sort of custom vertical background. If Google is working with Instagram, there will likely be a link for viewers of the story to open YouTube Music and start listening. Besides giving existing users popular Snapchat and Instagram sharing options, this serves as another way for Google to advertise YouTube Music. As of today, the integration does not appear to be live on either social network.

It’s official. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City happened. And it’s happening for an entire season on BravoTV. The newest installment in the Real Housewives franchise premiered Wednesday night and began trending on Twitter almost immediately. Less than an hour after the debut end, #RHOSLC was the No. 1 trending topic in the United States. So, yeah, it looks like this is going to be a thing. Variety called the show a “promising addition” to Bravo’s most successful franchise, which is pretty high praise for a show where one of the biggest drama points of episode was a tiff over one woman saying another castmate smelled like “hospital.” It’s so bad, even the poorest of writers wouldn’t make this up. Yet, according to the Twittersphere, it works. “Imagine you just leave the hospital dealing with family drama and your homegirl tells you, “hey so you smell like a hospital” #RHOSLC” imagine you just leave the hospital dealing with family drama and your homegirl tells you, “hey so you smell like a hospital” #RHOSLC pic.twitter.com/2zviMA9PMA — lauren.

Most of the content people see there, even in an election season, is not about politics. This includes posts from friends or from Pages, according to Alex Schultz, VP of Analytics and Chief Marketing Officer. By IANS  |  Published: 12th Nov 2020  9:33 am San Francisco: Political content makes up about 6 per cent of what people see on Facebook and even Halloween had twice the increase in posting on US Election Day (November 3) on the platform, the social networking giant has revealed. Most of the content people see there, even in an election season, is not about politics. This includes posts from friends or from Pages, according to Alex Schultz, VP of Analytics and Chief Marketing Officer. “For example, Halloween had twice the increase in posting we saw on Election Day, even though Facebook prompted people at the top of their News Feed (a number of times) to post about voting,” he said in a statement on Wednesday. Much of the public discussion around what performs best on Facebook focuses on posts from Pages with the most engagement and which also contain links to other content elsewhere. “There has been a lot of interest in Facebook’s impact on civic discourse and reasonable requests for us to share more data so it can be studied more fully. We are partnering through the Facebook Open Research and Transparency (FORT) project with a group of researchers from a number of preeminent universities,” Schultz said. Facebook hopes the first research papers will be published next year. “Following Cambridge Analytica, it is clear how careful we need to be about partnering with researchers and giving them access to data,” the company said.
