Nest plans to bring a new camera to their lineup with 4k resolution and facial recognition. It appears the facial recognition actually takes place on Nest/Google Servers rather than on the camera. It seems like that feature could be extended to the existing camera lineup, but perhaps the higher resolution is required to make this effective.

Also included is a better WiFi antenna system in the camera to compensate for the fact that these cams are often placed at the edge of your WiFi envelope. MiMo moving out of the routers into the clients.

So how creepy can this get? Will Nest start federating the facial recognition from all its subscribers so you have names of people you don't even know as the arrive at your doorstep for the first time?

    "Will Nest start federating the facial recognition from all it's subscriber's"

    The single sentence, above, contains two incorrect uses of an apostrophe and no one bothers to correct this ?

    You cannot expect to be taken seriously when your writing is so poor.

    your writing is so poor

    Shouldn't that be "you're writing so poor"?

      Here's your chance -- don't like the current editing? I'm sure the SN staff would welcome a punctuation pedant.

      Or perhaps it's time for some self reflection?

      I think it would be "you're writing so poorly."

      "You cannot expect to be taken seriously when your writing is so poor."

      "Writing" is a noun https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/writing [merriam-webster.com] and is used correctly (see entry #2 in link).

      "you're writing so poor" is grammatically incorrect as pointed out in a later reply.

      Writing so poorly. But they meant your writing as in possessive.

    Actually you're not wrong. I've had typos in a few of my stories, despite multiple re-reads of one of them I still fumbled a sentence. Worse still, I tend to find them while they're still in the queue but uneditable. I have no idea why we can't comment or edit them during the submission process and I'm not even sure how to go about telling someone a fix is needed (in one article I submitted I posted a fix in the comments to my own story as the only way to provide feedback).

    I've seen some minor editorial style changes to some of my submissions, but nothing that seems to approach a proper proofread. FWIW.

      They are in need of editors and other support staff...

      As for where to go to report errors the IRC channel might be a good start. There is a link to both the IRC channel, and the Soylent GitHub for error reporting in the right side panel under Soylent news.
