Q: MediaCapture StartPreviewAsync fails I am trying to start video preview capture from the camera in my UWP app but StartPreviewAsync throws an exception
Sample Code:
MediaCapture mc = new MediaCapture();
await mc.InitializeAsync();
await mc.StartPreviewAsync();

A: This error occurs because currently StartPreviewAsync requires a sink to output frames to. This can be fixed by creating a capture element in xaml to display the frames.
<CaptureElement Name="captureElement"/>

now code can be updated to display the preview to the screen
MediaCapture mc = new MediaCapture();
await mc.InitializeAsync();
captureElement.Source = mc;
await mc.StartPreviewAsync();

If you want to start the preview without displaying anything to the screen you can create the captureElement in your app logic without adding to the view.
var captureElement = new CaptureElement();

Income Inequality in DC Highest in the Country
By Minahil Naveed • December 15, 2017 • Income & Poverty
The District has a higher level of income inequality than any state in the country, with households in the top 20 percent of income having 29 times more income than the bottom 20 percent. The bottom fifth of DC households had just two percent of total DC income in 2016, while the top fifth had a staggering 56 percent.
The District's "Gini coefficient," a measure of inequality, reflects these disparities. A coefficient of 0 indicates perfect equality, with all income proportionally distributed amongst the population, while a coefficient of 1 indicates perfect inequality, where one household has all the income. At 0.542 in 2016 —based on Census Bureau data—DC has the highest Gini coefficient when compared with the 50 states, and on par with Puerto Rico. The District of Columbia's Office of Revenue Analysis, which uses tax return and other data to derive DC's Gini coefficient, often reports a much higher number, suggesting wage distribution is less even than the ACS suggests. By contrast, neighboring Maryland and Virginia have lower income inequality than the nation as a whole, with Gini index of 0.450 and 0.471, respectively.
Source: American Community Survey Briefs
DC also has one of the highest poverty rates in the country, when compared with states, behind only Mississippi, Louisiana, and New Mexico. At 18.6 percent, it is significantly higher than the national average of 12.7 percent. Today, at a time when poverty rates are declining nationally and are returning to pre-recession levels, nearly one in five District residents live in poverty. This is particularly true for Black DC residents, who are the only racial group to experience an increase in poverty rates since before the recession.
In fact, both poverty and income inequality in the District differ greatly along racial lines. While the poverty rate for white District residents is 7.9 percent, it is 27.9 percent—nearly four times higher—for Black residents, and 17.8 percent—more than twice as high—for the Latinx community. Moreover, Black families earn less than a third of their white counterparts, average 81 times less wealth than white families, and are significantly more likely to be in poverty.
Source: DC Fiscal Policy Institute
This means that race is at the heart of DC's economic inequality problem. As the District continues to prosper, these disparities are a stark reminder of the work that still needs to be done to rectify the impacts of historical barriers to economic opportunity that Black residents have, and continue to, face.

Q: Responsive Angled CSS Triangles with Percentages So I've got an odd responsive design - I'm trying to recreate 2 triangles (white & pink) via CSS that overlay a photo without having to use an image. See photo:
Responsive/Percentage CSS triangles
So far, I've got a pretty good idea of how to create the white triangle that overlays the photo and blends in with the background.. but the pink triangle is where i'm stuck and not sure how to program it.

#triangleWrapper {
  background-color: red;
  height: 80px;
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
}

.triangle {
  background: linear-gradient(to right bottom, white 50%, transparent 50%);
  height: 100%;
  left: 0px;
  top: 0px;
  transform: scaleY(-1);
  width: 100%;
}

A: You can use borders to create triangles. Border width is what you have to play with to make the size how you want it (I just went with full-screen width).

body {
  margin: 0;
  background: #333;
}

.overlay {
  width: 0;
  height: 0;
  border-style: solid;
  border-width: calc(50vw/6) 50vw;
  border-color: rgba(237, 75, 98, 0.4) rgba(237, 75, 98, 0.4) #fff #ed4b62;
}

EDIT:
Here is a responsive example

body {
  margin: 0;
  background: #333;
}

.image-tri {
  position: relative;
}

.image-tri .overlay {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  width: 0;
  height: 0;
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: rgba(237, 75, 98, 0.4) rgba(237, 75, 98, 0.4) #fff #ed4b62;
}

@media (min-width: 80px) {
  .image-tri .overlay {
    border-width: 12.5px 40px;
  }
  .image-tri img {
    width: 80px;
    height: 25px;
  }
}

@media (min-width: 320px) {
  .image-tri .overlay {
    border-width: 50px 160px;
  }
  .image-tri img {
    width: 320px;
    height: 100px;
  }
}

@media (min-width: 960px) {
  .image-tri .overlay {
    border-width: 150px 480px;
  }
  .image-tri img {
    width: 960px;
    height: 300px;
  }
}

Hope this helps.

State budget writers forecast continued growth in tax revenues
Raise estimate for this year by $1.5b, project 2.7% gain next year
Shira Schoenberg	Taxes and Budget Issues	0 Comments Jan 14, 2022
STATE REVENUES keep rolling along.
Budget officials on Friday revised upward their revenue forecast for the current fiscal year by $1.5 billion and then projected the state's tax take would rise 2.7 percent in the next fiscal year, which begins July 1.
The "consensus revenue" figure of $26.915 billion for fiscal 2023 agreed on by Secretary of Administration and Finance Michael Heffernan, Senate Ways and Means Chair Michael Rodrigues, and House Ways and Means Chair Aaron Michlewitz was toward the middle of the range forecasted by the state Department of Revenue at a hearing last month.
The policymakers were swayed by economists' predictions of a rise in revenue ($967 million) as society continues to recover from the pandemic. But those same economists, at December's hearing, warned that there is also significant uncertainty. In the last couple of years, taxes have come in far higher than expected, mainly due to federal recovery efforts injecting large sums of money into the economy, and the state has revised its tax revenue numbers during the course of the year.
For the current year, fiscal 2022, Heffernan announced Friday that he was revising estimates of tax revenue collections up by $1.548 billion – a huge sum of money that reflects far stronger than anticipated economic growth. If that revised estimate remains on track, it would represent a 5.3 percent increase over the previous year.
"The fiscal year 2023 consensus revenue forecast aligns with expert testimony delivered in December and acknowledges improved revenue trends in the current fiscal year," Heffernan said in a statement. "We thank our colleagues in the House and Senate Ways and Means Offices for their continued partnership as we begin to develop a budget that will maintain fiscal discipline while providing necessary funding to protect essential government services and support key priorities throughout the Commonwealth."
Of the $36.9 billion, an estimated $2.27 billion is projected to come from capital gains, of which $873 million would be deposited in the state's rainy day fund and a fund for other long-term liabilities, like retiree health benefits. Under state laws that require automatic earmarks for certain items, there would be $3.744 billion transferred to the state pension fund, keeping it on track to be fully funded by 2036. Another $1.325 billion would be earmarked for the MBTA, $1.165 billion for the Massachusetts School Building Authority, and $25 million for a workforce training fund.
Rodrigues said the revenue agreement "lays down the foundation for an impactful fiscal year 2023 budget that values the needs of our communities and our most vulnerable populations hardest hit by the pandemic, while ensuring our state remains in sound fiscal health."

Monitor, where she wrote about state government, City Hall and Barack Obama's 2008 New Hampshire primary campaign.

Michlewitz said similarly that the agreement "is a reasonable and appropriate forecast that will allow the Commonwealth to continue to provide the services our constituents deserve, while at the same time preserving our fiscal health."
The consensus revenue figure provides the basis for the governor's budget plan, which he will release January 26, and for the House plan released in April and the Senate plan that comes out in May. Those proposals will then have to be reconciled to arrive at a final budget before the 2023 fiscal year starts on July 1, 2022.

Scotia Capital analyst Mario Saric says a report that Brookfield Asset Management is about to launch two new funds is from a "credible source" and fits with previous comments from the Toronto-based company.
The Real Estate Alert says Brookfield will launch a $3.5-billion Opportunity Fund and a $1-billion Core-Plus Office Fund.
"While unable to confirm with BAM, we think the reported fundraising aligns with previous general BAM commentary," said Mr. Saric.
The Opportunity Fund is reported to be aiming for double digit returns and will target North America, Europe, Brazil, and Australia. The Core Plus Office Fund will large look for a low- to mid-teen returns on North American market Class A office assets in major markets, likely via a Brookfield subsidiary.
"Our assumed 20% co-investment equates to $700-million and $200-million in of capital from Brookfield Asset Management and Brookfield Office Properties, within current liquidity levels, in our view," said Mr. Saric.

PM to virtually inaugurate the 25th National Youth Festival today
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will inaugurate the 25th National Youth Festival on 12th January 2022 at 11 AM in Puducherry, via video conferencing.
12th January being the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, the great philosopher and thinker, is observed as National Youth Day every year. As we celebrate the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekanand, his teachings and eternal belief in the power of youth greatly resonate with the changing times in India. Briefing media persons virtually about the National Youth Festival 2022, Secretary, Youth Affairs, Smt. Usha Sharma said that the Festival aims to shape the minds of India's youth and transform them into a united force for nation-building.
Smt. Usha Sharma said that this year, in view of the emerging Covid situation, the Festival has been scheduled to be held virtually from 12 - 13 January 2022. The inauguration will be followed by the National Youth Summit which aims to galvanize, ignite, unite and activate the youth towards nation-building, to unleash the true potential of our demographic dividend.
During the summit, the youth will get an opportunity to express their views on current issues like Environment, Climate Change, SDG Led Growth, Technology, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Indigenous and Ancient Wisdom, National Character, Nation Building among others. "During the festival, the participants will have a glimpse of Auroville, Immersive City Experience of Puducherry, indigenous sports games from all across the country & folk dances, etc. Other highlights of the festival include Live Musical Performance, Interactive Yoga session by Auroville & Art of Living instructors", Secretary Youth Affairs added.
The Secretary reiterated that the virtual festival will see large participation from across the country. Smt. Sharma also added that the National Youth Festival is one of the biggest events of its kind and the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports has been celebrating it with the objective of providing a platform to bring the youth of the country together in an attempt to provide them an opportunity to showcase their talents in various activities.
Smt. Sharma further added that as we celebrate Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav of 75 years of the country's independence, it is important to remember that youth are the most important and dynamic segment of the population of any country. The National Youth Festival not only strengthens National Integration but also spreads the spirit of communal harmony and brotherhood among the youth of the country. "The Festival also provides an arena, by creating a mini-India, where youth interact in formal and informal settings and exchange their social and cultural uniqueness. This blend of diverse socio-cultural milieu creates Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat", the Secretary added.
As a tribute to the contribution of Sri Aurobindo and Mahakavi Subramania Bharathi towards the Indian independence struggle and their fruitful efforts towards the inculcation of the spirit of nationalism among the citizens of the country through their literary works, the 25th National Youth Festival is being celebrated in partnership with Puducherry which is blessed with thoughts of both Sri Aurobindo and Mahakavi Subramania Bharathi.
During the event, the Prime Minister will unveil selected essays on "Mere Sapno ka Bharat" and "Unsung Heroes of Indian Freedom Movement". These essays have been selected from submissions by over 1 lakh youth on the two themes.


Inspired by the imagery and visual design of the Large Hadron Collider, Collider was designed over the course of three weeks. By grabbing and pulling the air like a quantum slingshot, you can propel yourself further into new generative visuals and dynamic sounds. The progression is self-driven, so you control the speed and intensity of the experience.
Along with standard desktop mode, Collider also includes an Oculus Rift mode using our experimental VR tracking, which is rapidly evolving in developer beta. This means you can always see your hands in front of you when tripping the light fantastic – and with the Leap Motion Controller's image passthrough, you can also see your real hands appear in ghostly infrared.
Eddie built Collider in collaboration with award-winning Japanese multimedia artist Baiyon, a prominent DJ in the Kyoto house and electronica scene. The pair originally worked together at Q-Games on the Playstation 3 title PixelJunk 4am, which also involved layering tracks and visuals. Their similar tastes in visual design and music brought them together, and this was the perfect opportunity to collaborate once again.
What do you think about Collider and the possibilities of audioreactive reality? Whether you're trying it on your computer screen or with the Oculus Rift, we'd love to know what you think. Post a review on the Leap Motion App Store or write a comment below!

Australia considers dumping the .com.
Australian domain overseer auDA is thinking about allowing people to register .au domains directly at the second level for the first time.
The organization has opened up a consultation that would allow registrations such as example.au, rather than just the current system of example.com.au, example.org.au and so on.
The move follows the successful recent releases of 2LDs in the UK (.uk) and New Zealand (.nz) ccTLDs and can be seen as a bid to remain competitive in the face of the new gTLD program's huge expansion of TLD choice.
It is suggested that unprecedented competition from new gTLDs requires .au to be more responsive to global market forces. For .au to remain a strong and highly-regarded TLD we need not only to rely on its distinctive Australian identity and good reputation, but continue to innovate in order to counter the likely impact of hundreds of new gTLDs flooding the market. Whilst .au is currently very popular with Australian users, there is potential for new gTLDs to erode the brand equity in .au.
Currently, .au has over a dozen different second-level options, but about 85% of registrations are in .com.au. The TLD has just shy of three million names today.
Complicating matters slightly, the different 2LDs have different registration policies, so auDA would need to figure out a way to harmonize them for direct registrations.
auDA speculates that direct registrations may increase the adoption of .au domain names by individuals not currently able to obtain .com.au names but unaware of the individual-focused .id.au (it exists, apparently), thereby growing the .au name space.
It also worries that many second-level direct registrations may turn out to be defensives, registered by the registrants of the matching .com.au names.
The consultation is open for comments until June 1.
Who should have rights to direct .au names?
Will be still .com.au more popular and used? I betcha.
Is the direct.uk launch generally considered successful? I had no idea.
Well, I guess that would depend on your definitions. But it wasn't a hopeless screw-up, was it?
If all that's required to be a success is to avoid "a hopeless screw-up" then it probably qualifies.
To be fair, it's a slow process as people need to understand the new extension.


Okay so I am feeling a little socially awkward. This is going to sound really stupid, but as I have started getting more involved in the Weight Loss Community online I've gotten the opportunity so far to talk to a few women who are big names in this community via Twitter and Facebook, and I find myself intimidated. Not in a bad way, but in that sort of way that you get nervous if you meet someone famous. Some of these women I have been reading and following quietly as I tried to focus on my own journey and get through some of the obstacles life was handing me.
If I am being completely honest, every once in a while that "Fat girl" mentality kicks in and I feel unworthy and I start thinking, why is anyone even paying attention to me. But then I remind myself what I have accomplished, what I intend to accomplish, how far I have come and then I find myself asking myself, am I really that special? But each of us is special in our own way, each of us has something amazing and remarkable to offer, it's just a matter of figuring out what it is and letting people see it.
I'm starting to feel for the first time in my life like it is all starting to come together. For as long as I can remember I have wanted two things in life, I wanted to not be "fat" and I wanted to do something that incorporated all the things I was interested in back in High School before that pivotal moment when everything broke on me. I wanted to have a successful career. I wanted to do something that involved writing, journalism, and speaking, all things that I know I excel at.
My Father told me once you have to love what you do and do what you love. I've never had the type of job that I looked forward to going to every day. That's the dream I'm chasing now. I want a job where I wake up in the morning and I'm excited to go to work. I want a job where I know that I can touch other people and help inspire and motivate them. This is exactly why I'm setting out to become a personal trainer.
There is a part of me that is scared, scared that I'll start this business and fail dramatically, fall on my face and end up back at home doing Web Design and Graphics Design and wishing I was doing something different. But I recognize this fear; I felt the same way right before my Gastric Bypass. I was scared of not losing the weight, of not using the tool correctly, of being one of those people that have a gastric bypass, come home and eat a waffle and end up killing themselves. OK, maybe I wasn't afraid of that, but it did happen to someone and it did put the fear of god in me about what I put in my mouth early post op.
The point here is that we fear change. Any change, any time that there is a risk of failure, it can be uncomfortable and scary. One thing I have learned though is if you don't even attempt to do something, you've already settled for failure. Lack of action is sort of like lying by omission. You can't want change more than anything in the world but not be willing to take any chances to achieve it.
So what do we do then? Well, if you're ready, you face your fears by chasing your dreams. Whether we are at the beginning of our journey and you're chasing a 20 minute mile on the treadmill, (Yup. That was me) or whether you are 10 lbs from your goal weight and suddenly decided you want to change your entire career to focus on weight loss and helping other's fight obesity by fighting alongside them; chasing that next big accomplishment or dream is what life is all about. There are days right now when it's even more scary to me, what if people don't like me, what if I'm not cute enough, what if people write horrible comments on one of my pictures or posts somewhere. What if I follow this dream and I start this Personal Training business and I never get a client.
So as all these all too familiar fears and insecurities kick in, I keep having to tell myself one thing over and over. – Do NOT be held back by your fears; be led by your dreams.
I'm following my dreams, what about you?

Obama's photo op broke NCAA rules
North Carolina's men's basketball team on Tuesday had what a team official called an extraordinary chance to play basketball with presidential candidate Barack Obama. So extraordinary that an NCAA rule appears to have been broken -- and the NCAA is apparently going to ignore it.
North Carolina's men's basketball team on Tuesday had what a team official called an extraordinary chance to play basketball with presidential candidate Barack Obama.
So extraordinary that an NCAA rule appears to have been broken — and the NCAA is apparently going to ignore it.
"This was a unique situation and not an NCAA issue," NCAA media relations director Erik Christianson said in an e-mail message to The Raleigh News & Observer on Tuesday. "It certainly was a great opportunity for the student-athletes to interact with a presidential candidate."
At issue is the timing of the informal scrimmage and the fact that Tar Heels coach Roy Williams watched it from the sideline.
According to NCAA bylaws, coaches are not allowed to watch pickup games at any time during the offseason. Division I basketball teams also are prohibited from any mandatory athletically related offseason activities through final exams. Exams began Monday at UNC.
Team spokesman Steve Kirschner said Williams knew he wasn't supposed to be at the Smith Center practice gym under the letter of the NCAA rules, but that these were "extraordinary circumstances," and, with the number of Secret Service personnel on site, the coach wanted to be there to make sure that everything went OK.
Kirschner also said the Tar Heels play voluntary pickup games all the time that are within the rules because they are not mandatory. That's what took place on Tuesday, he said.
"What they got to experience today was one of the most educational things they'll ever do at the University of North Carolina … they got to talk, laugh, play with a man who might be the next president of the United States," Kirschner said. "… Coach could watch our guys play pickup every day but doesn't, and that's when there aren't 50 or so members of the media there to broadcast it to the world."
The game was set up, Kirschner said, when a member of Obama's campaign told Angie Bitting, director of the Smith Center, that the candidate would like to play a pickup game with the Tar Heels. Obama has been playing basketball at other campaign stops.
Bitting contacted Williams, who gave his consent as long as no players missed exams. Williams then asked video coordinator Eric Hoots to contact the team members and tell them they could play if they wanted to.
Tuesday morning, Obama toured the UNC locker room with Williams and his wife, Wanda, then played pickup with some team members, including All-America Tyler Hansbrough, Marcus Ginyard, Marc Campbell, Alex Stepheson and Deon Thompson. Former Tar Heels Wes Miller and Sam Perkins also were among those on hand.
Williams, who watched the play from a chair on the sideline, called out at one point: "You've got the future president of the United States wide open."
And, yes, the Tar Heels started passing to him more.
Even as North Carolina officials acknowledged that Williams should not have been present, the NCAA's Christianson would not specifically address whether rules were broken or if UNC asked for permission beforehand. Christianson responded again through e-mail: "This is not an NCAA issue."

Those building microservices at scale understand the role and importance of distributed tracing: after all, it's the most direct way to understand how and why complex systems misbehave. When we deployed Dapper at Google in 2005, it was like someone finally turned the lights on: everything from ordinary programming errors to broken caches to bad network hardware to unknown dependencies came into plain view.
Everyone running a complex distributed system deserves — no, needs — this sort of insight into their own software. So why don't they already have it?
The problem is that distributed tracing has long harbored a dirty secret: the necessary source code instrumentation has been complex, fragile, and difficult to maintain.
Application developers want the flexibility to choose or swap out a tracing system without touching their instrumentation. They also need the instrumentation in their web framework to be compatible with the instrumentation in their RPC system or database client.
Open-Source package developers need to make their code visible to tracing systems, but they have no way of knowing which tracing system the containing process happens to use. Moreover, for services and RPC frameworks, there's no way to know specifically how the tracing system needs to serialize data in-band with application requests.
Tracing vendors can't instrument the world N times over; by using OpenTracing, they can achieve coverage across a wide swath of both open source and proprietary code in one fell swoop.
As OpenTracing gains traction with each constituency above, it then becomes more valuable for the others, and in this way it fosters a virtuous cycle. We have seen this at play with application developers adding instrumentation for their important library dependencies, and community members building adapters from OpenTracing to tracing systems like Zipkin in their favorite language.
Last week, the OpenTracing project joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). We respect and identify with the CNCF charter, and of course it's nice for OpenTracing to have a comfortable – and durable – home within The Linux Foundation; however, the most exciting aspect of our CNCF incubation is the possibility for collaboration with other projects that are formally or informally aligned with the CNCF.
To date, OpenTracing has focused on standards for explicit software instrumentation: this is important work and it will continue. That said, as OpenTracing grows, we hope to work with others in the CNCF ecosystem to standardize mechanisms for tracing beyond the realm of explicit instrumentation. With sufficient time and effort, we will be able to trace through container-packaged deployments with little to no source code modification and with vendor neutrality. We couldn't be more excited about that vision, and by working within the CNCF we believe we'll get there faster.

Q: How to install the C functions for the python package bintrees? I want to use the python package bintrees:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bintrees/2.0.2
I install it on my centos through pip:
pip install bintrees
When I import the bintrees in the python, I got these warning:

import bintrees
      Warning: FastBinaryTree not available, using Python version BinaryTree.
      Warning: FastAVLTree not available, using Python version AVLTree.
      Warning: FastRBTree not available, using Python version RBTree.

I want to use the FastRBTree, but I don't know how to install it. On the homepage of the bintrees, I saw this:
Compiling the fast Trees requires Cython and on Windows is a C-Compiler necessary (MingW works fine).
But no other hint about how to install the fast Trees (the C-functions).
Could anyone let me know how to install the C-fuctions of the bintrees package?

A: As you've already said, you need Cython.
On CentOS you can do
pip install cython

and then reinstall bintrees:
pip uninstall bintrees
pip install bintrees

A:

from bintrees import BinaryTree   #only BinartTree
from bintrees import *       #all


Fall decorating has begun in our house. In fact it is about done. Wanted to share a peek at what we are up to.
I love this autumn harvest sign. Pip berries in warm colors and the fall decor is set.
So there is a little peek. Meanwhile you can see fall at Sunny Simple Life from 2011, 2012 and more 2012.
Your fall touches are pretty!
Good luck with figuring out your new computer!
Wow, that is lovely! The only fallish things about my house are a few leaves dragged in by the dogs and the tomatoes sitting on the kitchen counter.
Love the sign and that wire basket filled with fall goodness - your house has moved into full autumn mode.
Elaine, I love your Falling at your home - everything is so pretty.
Autumn decor brings such warmth to a home.
So warm and inviting Elaine!
Delightful-sets the tone for the change of seasons perfectly!
Love the Fall decor...is the some of your handiwork or the work of Mr.Sunny?
I know how he likes to lend a hand!
Are you still having HOT-HOT temps there?
We are here...and I just can't get into the mood to decorate for Fall.
It still feels like Summer here!
"Autumn Harvest" - love it!!
Can't think of Fall yet, as we're still hovering around *100. Soon.
Your decorating is so nice and inspiring. I'm planning on doing some this weekend (now that the temps are down) and I'm going to look back at your other years to get ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Decorating for fall is my most favorite time of the year!! I'm eyeballing the fall scene you have in the picture frame above the piano. Lovely. Reminds me that I want to get some kind of pastoral fall painting to hang during this time of year.
I love it all Elaine!
A fun fall photo tour. Love all your fall deorating.
Love all your fall decorations but my favorite is your burlap banner!

Q: TCPDUMP BPF Primitives and Port Exclusion I am trying to create a filter in tcpdump that will allow me to examine tcp traffic on ports about 1024.
I came up with:sudo tcpdump tcp portrange 1025-65535 but I'm not sure if there is a better way to create the filter.
For example, I tried looking for greater than and less than syntax for port ranges in tcpdump and BPF but haven't managed to find anything.

A: # tcpdump 'tcp[0:2] > 1024 or tcp[2:2] > 1024'

(Two bytes in TCP header at offset 0 are > 1024, or two bytes at offset 2 are > 1024.)
You can see the BPF filter produced with the -d option:
# tcpdump -d 'tcp[0:2] > 1024 or tcp[2:2] > 1024'
