"I was 10 years old the first time I picked up the phone, and a Nazi told me that I"
"Dear colleagues, we must earn and protect the trust of our citizens, by delivering on the biggest challenges people around Europe face today."
"If we can change the textile industry, then we can change everything."
"Let us practice what we preach, by making sure our own institution is a front-runner in the green transition – for example, by adding solar panels on the twenty thousand square meters of flat roof available on our buildings here in Strasbourg."
"For me, even if we don't have a lot of women in the panels, what we are sure of and what we can take over is that we have more women traders who actually trade although we need more representation of female voices on the table but then they can tell their stories, they can speak up there perspectives as women on how their policies and the regulations and complains affect the women from their own perspectives. So I say this is what we are clamoring for. In Nigeria we started developing the shift rate, women in trainings initiatives to support more women, to support our inclusiveness. These are some of the things that we should be looking at to adopt in these kind of conferences. We have to make that effort to reach out to more women. We have them coming with the spirit."
"Oh yes, yes. Anything in terms of global policies we start with baby steps. So, there is phase implementation for everything. There's a strong advocacing for women inclusion because actually, women are important. They represent the.. I won't say they are the same, but they are under-represented. And so, there is a strong push for women inclusivity and we will see that happen."
"By exposing your brain to new impressions you are compelled to think new thoughts and be inspired by others."
"There are three little words, written at the bottom of every resolution, every report and every legislative position in this house. Three small words that connect us all. United in Diversity."
"Our focus should always be on advancing automotive technologies to save lives and I love how interior sensing enables several advanced safety features. One important functionality is child and child seat detection, which helps determine if a child is left behind in a vehicle unattended. I am hopeful that this can help avoid tragic deaths due to vehicular heatstroke. And, as anyone who has driven around with kids or for that matter, pets will know, they often cause distraction, so child and pet detection can provide important inputs to promote safer driving behavior."
"I have always been very interested in the intersection of healthcare and automotive. So, I am glad to see that, for example through Euro NCAP, attention is being given to sudden sickness. What if interior sensing AI could detect driver impairment due to a medical event? For example, we already have early stage capabilities for detecting heart rate variability using computer vision, and I am eager to see these types of technologies advance so that they can actually be deployed in vehicles."
"In cabin sensing is such a hot topic because it allows OEMs to not only meet regulatory and rating requirements that are on the horizon, but also sets them up to differentiate their brands in a very competitive market. Also, car manufacturers can expand on cameras, other sensors and machine learning-based algorithms that are already deployed for DMS. Building on that as a foundation, they can often, cost effectively, add advanced safety features and engaging mobility experiences to existing platforms."
"Occupancy detection, which determines how many people are in the cabin and where they are sitting, is another interesting area of functionality. This too can help improve existing safety functionality, as it helps determine proper seat position and seat belt usage and can provide important analysis for airbag deployment."
"I felt down as a citizen of this country to know that our police force, which is obligated to protect us, could abuse a woman in full view. I was silent for a while as I tried to internalise what I had just seen. The next day i knew for sure that we would have to do something. We couldn't let this pass."
"Over the past several years, we’ve seen Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) go from nice to have to must have technology in cars."
"I am also very interested in the experience features that in cabin sensing will enable. The Emotion AI technology that we created at Affectiva, now part of Smart Eye, also unlocks massively interesting personalization. By understanding the emotional and cognitive states of people in a vehicle we can adapt the environment to their needs in the moment. For example, if someone is getting drowsy, the lighting dims, the heating turns up and soothing music plays quietly in the background, creating a comfortable and restorative environment."
"In cabin sensing is the natural evolution of DMS and is seeing increased demand because of its many important applications in safety as well as entertainment, comfort, wellness and beyond. Instead of just focusing on the driver, interior sensing solutions have a full view of the entire cabin. With a camera and other sensors, these systems provide human-centric insight into what’s happening in a vehicle, by detecting the state of the cabin and that of the driver and passengers in it."
"We tweak the jokes, and on our best nights, our audience keeps laughing. We don’t want to leave much room for them to breath."
"It’s been a joy to write material for such a specific demographic."
"We settled on the bra protest. We thought it would be most appropriate for what had happened. It’s not like we were saying we don’t respect ourselves. We were disgusted by what had been done."
"I've learned that if the human brain is told it can't have something, it then wants that thing more than anything in the universe."
"They teach you that as an improviser you should never censor yourself. Whatever comes to your mind immediately, you say it - you go with it."
"There are also fascinating backseat use cases around content recommendations and monetization of advertising data, even. Understanding passenger reactions and emotional engagement with music and video content can help refine content recommendations, making these more relevant to the user and their experience. Where advertising is deployed, understanding viewer engagement with that content provides OEMs and advertisers with very valuable data. I think users will be interested in opting in to that, if there is an incentive for them. Imagine a scenario where you and your friends take a rideshare to a concert and engage with advertising in the back of a car. In return, since the system knows you are taking a ride to a concert, it offers you a discount coupon for a band t-shirt or such. And, to wrap this up, a fun use case often requested by OEMS, is trip highlights where the Emotion AI detects smiles and joy, so that an interior camera can take cool pictures just at the right moment there’s a lot of fun we can add to the overall experience considering the right applications of this technology."
"I was seriously offended that a police force that is supposed to protect us had assaulted a woman in front of everyone."
"I just find Christmas so overwhelming. So if the CBC poll was taken during Christmas, no wonder people feel that way."
"I will always be thankful for Dr seta for using his experience and for allowing and trusting me during my initiation in the field of surgery."
"There was a need for a national to continue neurosurgery services in the country so I joined so the could train me further."
"As a founder and CEO, you’ll be pulled in a million different directions at once. Without a game plan for the day, quarter, or year ahead, you’re bound to be a slave to your inbox, the Slack chats, calls, coffees, and speaking opportunities you field on a daily basis"
"Don’t wait for permission — make your place, and then open the door for others."
"It’s incredibly important for a CEO to have the whole plan in her head which is very different than her to-do list."
"We all feel viscerally that it's really a barrier to American competitiveness over the long term. So they did polling of Harvard Business School alumni over the years. This is looking at comparing 2011 and 2019 polling. And what that polling alumni basically said is that people see the political system and the education system and the healthcare system as basically areas that are diminishing American competitiveness."
"One of the most core ways to look at this is through the trust in government, which has continuously trended down since the 1960s. And is pretty stubbornly low in the 20s across administrations now. This is from Pew, long term research that they've been doing polling of American people."
"Another way to look at it is the function of Congress. We see that it just continues to decline down from 750 to 250 bills. The left-hand chart here on enacted, so the productivity of Congress, the delivery of the product to Americans continues to go down. And not only is the amount of product, so to speak, in terms of policy going down, but we don't see any correlation between the preferences of citizens and the policies come out. This is actually relatively old data."
"Teachers will be killed” is the State Duma. Teachers are their peers. The deputies sit there and think, “Why should we release these people?” And the students are their children. The authorities, deputies, ministers, generals have children. You can’t tell everyone from the mobilization; it’s easier to tell all the students."
"The next time we did a survey was after the mobilization in the fall of 2022. This time only one-third stayed in Russia, two-thirds work abroad. That’s the rate of the first year of the war about adult professionals."
"My 15-year career in finance gave me unique skills: looking at cash flow, balance sheet, inventory, and understanding as an operator. I would argue that cash flow is the most critical thing for staying in business and for all entrepreneurs. Having invested 15 years as a CEO and in companies, I have this unique perspective. I probably understand financials better because of my background. We are much more careful with money because I personally sign every single check for everything we do. We have to be scrappy as I don't have the company pocketbook like some of these conglomerates that can waste money on things and see how it works. We have to be incredibly thoughtful and extremely methodical about everything we do. We don't have any benefit when we make mistakes."
"I am exactly the type of person Putin had in mind when he launched his speech last night. He wants to frame people like me as traitors, the fifth column,”"
"I live a good life, post pretty pictures online about food. They now want to portray me as the face of the ‘decadent west’.”"
"As CEO I had to hand over the right to sign and wait after the resignation letter when it went into effect in a month, nothing else. I handed things over as HR director — that was the main role — and as director of educational projects. And so the international part of the educational service Practicum moved with me. And I left the bigger Russian educational part in Russia, it was the most expensive and painful parting with it."
"To find out I was the first one to be charged was both amusing and shocking. I joked that I was officially declared a decent person"
"My key to success is endurance. My day is like a marathon. I spend tons of time going from restaurants to meetings with the beverage directors, customers or distributors. I think we have had success because we have spent tons of time with excellent partners in the market, building relationships one by one. It really sells the product in each venue. It is not the most scalable business because it's essential that you have a personal connection with each person and that they buy into the story, that they understand and want to get behind you. After all, without the people who matter in each venue, a brand can't succeed."
"At the start of the war, we knew that about a third of our graduates lived and worked abroad, about two-thirds were in Russia. Many of them worked at Yandex. For the most part these were graduates of older years who were already adults. Newcomers did not get abroad so quickly. That was the picture at the beginning of 2022."
"“The Russian people will always be able to distinguish true patriots from scum and traitors and simply spit them out like a fly that accidentally flew into their mouth"
"The message is simple, ONA must work for everyone."
"The trader crossing a border, the student studying abroad, and the operator investing in networks."
"Closing the gaps in ONA will unlock vast opportunities."
"By partnering with the Uganda Railway to deploy fibre along the existing rail infrastructure, Bayobab is bringing reliable, high-speed internet to communities along the route and reinforcing regional interconnectivity."
"The new route enhances network resilience and provides valuable redundancy for Uganda’s digital infrastructure."
"Noting its alignment with Uganda’s national agenda to expand digital services and bridge the rural-urban connectivity gap."
"This new route complements existing MTN fibre infrastructure across multiple corridors, including Busia–Jinja–Kampala and Malaba–Lira–Masindi–Kampala."
"Offering network redundancy and increased reliability."
