They had likely listed it in error, and only noticed this as their operations couldn't register it.

Or so I'd think. Something about how the price was nil says they simply mis-administrated the record as they were e.g. rotating through staff, or life trying to re-list it at a new rate.

This is highly area dependent though, surely?

Hi there! I haven't launched yet, but you're throwing me a softball here.

I am building it: https://PhotoStructure.com

Cleaning up the mess left from early-adopting N photo apps and websites that subsequently shut down is why I took on this project. I've got 20-odd hard drives that have accumulated over the years, filled with backups and libraries from Apple Photos, Aperture, Picasa, several hundred gigs of Google Takeout tarballs, and other ancient DAM apps. I wanted a single, organized, deduped, copy of my photos and videos. Skip the thumbnails, the files that are missing original EXIF headers, or have suffered bitrot.

Finally, I've got a single folder hierarchy I can rsync to my NAS or wherever, and know I got everything. There's a simple SQLite db I use for persistence, and a web server that sits on top of it that makes browsing and searching your whole library feel serendipitous.

So yeah, it's Google Photos that lives on your bookshelf. Viva the distributed web! I'm looking into the applicability of dat and ipfs for secure sharing soon.

I've got a limited number of beta users trying it out right now. If you're willing to share your feedback, please consider signing up. The beta is free.
Community for Artists
They are to some extent: there are hybrids, rings, and other edge cases.
We are launching our community for artists for iOS very soon. If you want early access then visit our website to get the app.
Maybe I'll finally be able to de-dupe the low-resolution photos Picasa uploaded against the higher-resolution photos that photo importer tool uploaded. I'll just have to write the de-duping tool myself. Great!
Disruption Is Evolutionary, Not Revolutionary
Just curious -- what did you interpret my premise to be?

To clarify, I think that this issue is so obviously overdetermined that we need to tackle all of the causes, not just any one.

Thank you! That was my thought ^^ scratched a personal itch wanting to know what's happening in the space. We are thinking about something - will let my partner answer the ICO bit.
We tend to idealise the past like it is some sort of costume drama - in reality the community of the past was very restricting. You did whatever your father did if you were a man and raised a dozen kids (most of whom died) if you were a woman. Forget about choice or living the life you wanted.

One thing I think many are missing today from our lives is some sort of painful rite of passage struggle to give us perspective. When nothing has gone seriously wrong in your life it is all too easy to focus on the trivial.
It's a PR article to get you on their website, not a scientific study. ;) There you'll probably find more indepth info.

Though, I didn't last long on their website. I don't have patience for video/audio, and I couldn't quickly find content on "what is mental health," to them.
The other benefit of self-checkout is you can fit perhaps 8 machines in the space that you used to use for 3 lanes, so even though an individual checkout might take longer, overall you can probably get higher throughput on the self-checkout.
In my opinion, a lot of is going to boil down the social issues we've collectively headed towards. Before getting there you really have to consider how much vastly better the work situation is for most Americans today than practically ever before.

Today the average American only works 1,765 hours a year. [1] That is less than practically any time in our history. And real compensation is also higher than it's ever been. [2] You'll find the sensationalistic articles constantly reference only real median wages. That misses the great increase in compensation - bonuses, matched retirement/investment plans, insurance, profit-sharing/equity plans, paid time off, paid sick leave days, etc. Only considering the hourly wage by itself, and median at that, is not informative and even disingenuous.

The point is we work less and we get more. If you transplanted these conditions back to previous eras, it'd be like imposing a utopia on people! But what else has changed? Now literally the majority of Americans remaining single. And there are also more people living alone than ever before. And when there are married households most have both husband and wife away at work each day.

I don't really understand how people manage to live like this, and it seems to me the answer is that they aren't really managing to! A wife is somebody you can rely on, and you somebody they can rely on, in a way far different than a friend or fling. It'd sound metaphorical but perhaps it's quite accurate to say you both literally keep each other sane! Countless studies have shown greater mental health and even greater life expectancy among married couples. We've gone from a hardworking childbearing married nation, to a nation of single childless households working fewer hours than ever before. And this has been, at least in part, precipitated by a variety of social changes we have mostly supported. In any case, not something I'm going to blame on employers.

AGL already is in the Toyota Camry and in the new plug-in Prius, “and it will be in many more Toyota models to come,” Murata said.

....and? Companies deciding to take action on things based on the actions of other companies isn't really newsworthy. It's one thing if they were pressured into doing so in back-channels, but if they were already contemplating action and simply decided to move forward with it, that's pretty much standard practice.

I was recently talking to a colleague and we were wondering about the fate of 'smart' credit cards (the ones where you can add several card accounts on a single physical card) as it's still something that would be quite useful here in Europe where there isn't a very high Apple Pay penetration outside of a few countries like Sweden and the UK but articles like this serve as a quick reminder that that industry might be over before it got started.

Have not read this yet, but I'm very excited to find some time to do so. However, it seems that this does not reference any work done in natural language acquisition. I assume because the study authors are not conversant in the field. I'd love to know if anybody has seen any work that does relate the two.
Lambda is not useful. It solves a few problems but creates even more new problems.

Some problems include:

- It makes managing multiple environments (e.g. development, staging, production) almost impossible.

- It makes debugging difficult because you can't run the code on your own machine and step through the code. Most projects cannot be tested end-to-end due to environment incompatibilities between different services and front-ends running locally... It's a fact that multiple developers can't share a single development environment because each developer needs to work with their own test data but Lambda doesn't allow this.

- Lambda adds all sorts of unexpected limits on your code; e.g. cold starts, maximum function execution duration and others.

- The lock-in factor is significant; once you're hooked into Lambda and all the surrounding services that it encourages, you cannot leave and you have no bargaining power in terms of hosting costs and your future is entirely dependent on Amazon.

- Other AWS services that you can integrate with Lambda also exacerbate problems related to handling multiple environments and debugging. Services like Elastic Transcoder and S3 are blackboxes and are very hard to debug. If something goes wrong, sometimes the only way to resolve the problem is to contact Amazon support and spend weeks sending messages back and forth to figure out the issue.

- You're contributing to centralization of wealth and power instead of helping small companies and small open source projects. You're helping to turn Amazon into yet another too big to fail company with infinite leverage on the rest of the economy.

- It takes the fun out of coding. As a developer, you no longer feel any ownership or responsibility over the code that you produce, you're just handing over all that code to Amazon. In fact, it might as well belong to Amazon because that's the only company that is able to execute that code. It doesn't help with employee turnover.

The main reasons why Lambda is popular are because Amazon spent a fortune on marketing it and there are a lot of vested interests in the industry who want it to succeed (to drive up Amazon share price).

> they don't take your photo if you're a US passport holder

This is very much in the "you don't have to go through the body scanners" at the airport category. By default they take your photo and fingerprint, even if you're a US citizen; the specific language on CBP's website is:

"At this time, CBP does not require U.S. Citizens to have their photos captured when entering or exiting the country. U.S. Citizens who request not to participate in this biometric collection process may notify a CBP Officer or an airline or airport representative in order to seek an alternative means of verifying their identity and documents."

https://www.cbp.gov/travel/biometrics
RFID the technology transforming the human body into an object
The system then compares the photo to a gallery that includes images of that person—either their passport photo for U.S. citizens or the photo taken of foreign nationals when they entered the country.

So those of us with dual nationality, who enter the US on our US passports and leave on our foreign passports, are going to get screwed. Lovely.

Stepping back, this gets into the bigger questions of "What is commercial use?"

If you take an image that's Creative Commons BY-SA-NC and you use it as the title image in your article and display the photographers name and even link to his or her website/original image, but your site is filled with ads you use to make money off your writing ... have you violated that license?

This is why Wikipedia doesn't allow NC works and why we have the "Open Culture" classifications for licenses types.

I feel like the Common Clause supporters are in this spot where they want to monetize and survive of their software, and I can respect that. But the spirit of the GPLv3 camp of devs is that "Fine, let other people make money off my works if they want. But they need to contribute their improvements back."

I feel like the Commons Clause is kinda a half-and-half approach that really fails on both sides of the camp. Most BSD licensed tools can be used in GPLv3 software, but (and correct me if I'm wrong) it doesn't look like Commons Clause is compatible at all.

It's kinda sad how licensing hinders using the best tools in open source development. An excellent example is Hunspell, which is a god awful spell checker that's used in everything. Aspell if superior in almost every case, and yet it can't be included in anything due to licensing:

Telling yourself that you have it better than 99% of the world is only a temporary and ineffective remedy to career dissatisfaction. The answer is introspection, finding out what is missing, and the life-long pursuit of self-actualization and eventually transcendence.
In the few seconds I used it, it was pretty frustrating trying to copy a 'word' as it scrolled up rapidly. Consider implementing a way to pause (or delay) generating new words.

- If your project does not require additional tools (like Node, npm, Gulp, Grunt, WebPack, etc) and you simply want to acquire a couple of files, then LibMan might be for you.

- LibMan lets you specify exactly where the files should be placed inside your project. (No additional build tasks or manual file copying required!)

- LibMan provides the benefit of a much smaller footprint in your web project as it only downloads the files you need.

> if Beethoven's music had been lost or misplaced, would we immediately recognize it as "genius" if someone made a first recording in 2018

I'm not qualified to comment on the genius of any composer, but knowing my background, I would say he would have become immensely popular. Growing up, people around me knew nothing about western classical music, not even enough to name a few famous composers. I found cassette tapes in Bangalore's music shops and tried them out randomly. Beethoven quickly became one of my favorites and the factors could not have been either that I was over-exposed to his music through general culture while growing up or that his name was famous around here, biasing me in his favour.

I like to think of good composers as one of two kinds: (1) those who impress novices to the tradition of this kind of music (western classical, in this case) and (2) those who impress long-term aficionados. Based on my own tastes, examples of the first kind would be Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Mozart, etc. and examples of the second kind would be Bach, Mahler, Schoenberg, etc. Of course, these categories are fuzzy, and I'm sure there are composers who would qualify for both categories. However, I think a valid approach to answering your question would be to survey what sort of an impression a composer makes on novices to the genre.

Thank you for making recordings of Reicha's works! I'm not a novice to the genre anymore, but it's nice to have new compositions from the classical period to listen to.
Michael Burry: Where the Value Isn't
> I wish the codified behavior was simply to truncate IP packets to the size available

If a router could replace the packet with a "truncation sentinel" that's compatible with most firewalls, detectable by new implementations, and doesn't cause data corruption for old implementations, then perhaps truncation could be incrementally deployed? Like a "packet too big" error, but in the forward direction.

However, it might be impossible to construct a packet satisfying all of those conditions.
Ask HN: Would it be easier to make Ipv4 A.B.C.D.E vs. implimenting Ipv6?
Not the most ideal solution I'm sure, but given the familiarity in a sense of going from python2 to python3, where tools could be written, such as 2to3 in python, would the adoption rate increase?
The cost of the raw ultra low loss single mode fiber (9/125 on a spool) for a transatlantic crossing is negligible, it's the cost of the cable when it's fully integrated as a cable with jacket, copper for repeater power, etc. And then the bulk of the cost is actually the massive engineering project that involves repeaters, possibly branching units, cable ships, ROVs, plows, divers, beach work, cable landing stations. I would guess that the fiber strands are way less than 2% of the total capex spent.

It is healthy to have a proportional sense of gratefulness for the good things you have. Even if someone else has more.

When you live an easier life than 99% of humans, that's worth being grateful for.

Interestingly given the context of this thread, I think the attitude of always needing to be angry, always focusing on negatives, always demanding more, always blaming others and obsessing over grand injustices can itself tip some people into mental illness.

It's a memeplex thing, though. Constant rage at injustice is a great way for a memeplex to turn people into highly-motivated ideological soldiers. It's a technique used by demagogues from Stalin to Hitler to Castro and Kim, and which you see today as well. But the need to always emphasize that rage and injustice and resentment can definitely push some people over the edge. Gratefulness is a good antidote, in proportion with a balanced and contextualized understanding of the problems of the world.
Yeah, it's a bitch when people can actually get where they want to go in a timely manner. Satisfying that demand might actually put more cars on the road.
> The contributors give you the right to license the software how you see fit. Thus, they are not able to get commercial benefit from the software, but you are.

I'm not sure how common dual licensing is these days, but Trolltech used to use to dual license and use contributions to Qt (and KDE) as a recruiting mechanism. So there was no direct commercial gain but for many it resulted in getting something out of the exchange. There's also the resume padding and other indirect gains from contributing.

I'd be more worried that the company could go completely closed source at any point.
It certainly was restricting, we didn't tear down those institutions for no reason, but how do we go about assigning relative importance to them? If I had a strong community but no choice in my occupation (especially if I had been raised that way from birth) would I be happier? I instinctively want to say no, I really really like freedom, but I don't think I have any real idea. It's also not to say we can't have both, perhaps we've traded one unhappiness (lack of freedom and harsh conditions) for another (lack of community and meaning through directly helping people you care about) and our eventual destination is finding some happy medium between the two.
> It must be about cost though, at least in some corporations.

I agree, I just don't think it's as much about cost as you might think (or as I used to think). Profitable companies can afford office space.

I feel like at some point (around the turn of the century ~2000) it was cool to be open office, if you weren't you were uncool, and the latest hipster generation didn't want to work for you.

I think things are changing though, and people are seeing past the latest fad of what people today call "open office." It just takes a while for the general-pop wisdom to change. Nobody's ever been fired for building open office, during this latest phase.
Today everything is AI and machine learning. Turns out I was doing machine learning, AI and big data before it was cool, in university: Movie recommendations using the Slope One algorithm [0]. Except that it is an machine learning AI now.

not an ideal relationship to have with your medical counsel

It's a reasonable relationship to have considering you'll only spend an hour or so a year in direct consultation. In some sense it is ideal. He's putting you on notice that you can't rely on his advice in such a context because he has neither the access nor the diagnostic resources to personalize his advice, neither in the moment nor especially on an ongoing basis. Time budgeting is at the root of many professional relationships and their tensions. If you want more personalized advice, you have to be prepared to pay for it.

I've run some ideas past doctors and have always tried to make clear that I understand any thumbs up or thumbs down is contingent on the absence of complicating factors. But that's a difficult position in which to put a doctor, lawyer, engineer or most any other professional. Even if they agree to play along, the value of their affirmation is questionable.

Hey, thanks for commenting! The music typically used in ads (like video ads) can have a great impact on click-through-rates and conversion. So, by testing ads with different tracks by specific moods, we can find the right music that optimizes ads.
