Congratulations on your forthcoming fatherhood. I'm not sure I can point to any product which is focused specifically on the "niche" you've described -- though maybe it's an opportunity because niche doesn't seem like the right word for such a huge market.

I think most people today probably resort to whatever photo solution their phone offers them (either Apple Photos or Google Photos) and probably neglect to capture the less photographical memories of raising their children. But I think the key to any solution that you use is that it needs to be quick and easy. With that said, maybe something like a self-hosted or password-protected Wordpress installation would fit your use-case. It'd automatically chronograph your entries. It's got broad support for all types of media (photos, video, audio, etc.) and you can find limitless plugins to capture calendar entries and other memorable events. Just make sure you've got a rock-solid backup system in-place so that you don't risk losing all of your entries.

If you want something more photo-focused, a self-hosted album like Koken might get you want you're looking for. It does provide the ability to blog as-well, though it's probably not as customizable as a Wordpress blog would be.

Good luck with your newborn and finding a solution to help you remember all the little moments along the way.
I'm surprised that google keeps blogger.com for this long. it doesn't appear to be a commercial success and its features fall behind newer platforms like medium.
I was just about to post that Facebook has Friend List feeds, but it appears they're sunsetting that feature as of August 8th.

Thanks! Happy to see you like it! And you're right about SVG, but i have plans to draw additional things also, like graphics of functions, so im not sure if SVG would be flexible as canvas. (or i can use it effeciently :))
The amd probably can be built with ECC ram while the intel cannot, as well. I hope that’s a hat trick amd pushes them to release on the i7s.
The best thing to ever come out of Google+ is this:

It's like following a search result to experts exchange on the age of stack overflow.
I'm curious, who was your intended audience for this comment?
Amazing stuff! Since I mainly do python, I'll definitely dig into this over the weekend.

Can this library in the current state record audio of both local and remote streams at the same time and could you mute a user for every participant on the call?
I like that there are also some privacy improvements in Android permissions mentioned in this post: "We are limiting apps’ ability to receive Call Log and SMS permissions on Android devices, and are no longer making contact interaction data available via the Android Contacts API."
I believe the medical term is "cardiac arrest". It is different than a heart attack. Something caused the heart to stop beating.
RecSys 2018 Recap
A curiously soft end given all of the (IMO valid) outrage about “real names” when it was first announced.
They now have five of the top ten apps used on all smartphones so would expect those to not going anywhere. So things like YouTube, maps, etc.

Plus Chrome not going anywhere as well as the Google home. But would still
expect them to iterate. So even though Android has over 80% share still would not be surprised to see them move to Fuchsia.

If I could only pick one metric for a business, I'd go with net revenue. Otherwise it's an expensive hobby.
When to give up (spin off)?
A lot of famous projects did spinoff. Youtube, facebook...

It is my 5th project. I work on it for 5 years almost, 50 000 users registered, but nobody use it (DAU 230-290)

How to make decision to stop or to continue?
A metric I've thought about is, how much extra energy is circulating in earths systems per degree of temp change? 2 degrees does not sound like a lot but when you think of how vast the earth is that's a lot of extra energy in the oceans and atmosphere. It would be an interesting metric to track.
From the article: "Action 1: We are shutting down Google+ for consumers."

They will keep it active as an internal network, but regular old joes won't be able to use Google+ anymore.
LOL, one more example of why one should never depend on anything from Google.

developer adoption

Gee, I wonder why? Maybe because they never released a usable write API and were basically just a little less developer-hostile than Twitter?

G+ had a lot of potential, had Google chosen to truly embrace Open Standards, federation, and usable API's. As it is, they shot themselves in the foot by creating JAWG (Just Another Walled Garden).

Anyway, maybe this will just help prod more people to join the Fediverse.
What exactly does "sunsetting consumer Google+" mean? The blog post wasn't particularly enlightening. Are they shutting down Google+ as a social network?

FTA: Action 1: We are shutting down Google+ for consumers. seems pretty obvious that's the case.
"The "force escalation" went ask -> tell -> make, and they try to instill a paranoia that everyone has a concealed gun by default and should be treated so."

That's in line with what I saw when I was military police during my German service and had to interact with American MPs. Their strategy was often (not always) to go in directly and if anybody resisted they immediately applied force. Us Germans on the other hand did almost everything we could do to avoid force. It was definitely a noticeable difference in attitude. The Americans also spent a huge amount of time on the shooting range whereas we got there maybe twice a year.
How many vulns do you think companies find internally daily? Should every vuln be publicized?

I remember Linus as being a fairly prolific Google+ user. https://plus.google.com/+LinusTorvalds

But the fact that it's been months since he posted is a point.
G+ didn't even get its own sunset announcement post; it was mentioned in passing from a post about _something else_.

Poor G+.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), because its the one my company gave me.
oh no. My family have used G+ to share stuff. I don't want to have my mother-in-law on facebook, what else can we use?
I really like the idea of circles, some stuff I would share only with my close family, other stuff would be shared with wider family and friends, etc.
I find video games,sugar,caffeine and sex to be a lot more addictive than pot, and I've smoked pot almost daily in 4 years of university
Do we get the + operator back in search ?
I recently started getting friend requests on Youtube (I didn't know it had such a feature!).

Does this mean they are just shifting the social network features over to other products?
My goal right now is to do just that. Get a remote job and move away from the high CoL area I am in. I personally like living in more rural areas. My spouse, not so much, but she may end up with a great job at a university in a small-town.

I really think as a knowledge worker there is no point to being limited to where you live for employment.

But remote companies seem to be very picky about who they hire. I have not had much luck. Local places won't stop spamming me though.
Well if that society supports the Second Amendment it has made a choice. Acceptable collateral damage.
The Dextre robot on ISS was originally proposed for the last Hubble repair mission. All it takes is money and initiative to send up another.
Poorly managed? They have now grown over 20% the last ten quarters and now over 26% the last two. Since the beginning never declined for a quarter YoY. Even though the great recession.

That is pretty hard to do.

What about enterprise customers, does that remain or get sunset?
Not forgetting any of that but none of that is really new Intel information in this generation. (note that current Ryzen top end is 4.3GHz though which is relevant from the standpoint that AMD is increasing clock faster than Intel... great MHz wars part II) Sure, if anything about the previous generation from Intel put them over the top for you, nothing changes. However, there's not much in this new generation that really seems to stand out as a significant improvement though.
I just checked out your github repo and you've got a really cool project going there. What made you decide to start writing it?
The case against teaching kids to be polite to Alexa
Holy shit, that guys a psychopath. That really gives you a picture, he was acquitted as well. Tells you everything really, it is undoubtable that the legal system is utterly corrupt, at least in this instance.

It reminds me of another incident recently where someone was swatted. As far as I remember the person was sitting on his balcony smoking a cigarette when when police decided to shoot him from across the road. Here is the video, it contains the call itself to keep context https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0l6kwbglA4 . You could say they had a little more justification in this one, but is well, horrible.
The previous generation you're referring to is one that actively discriminated against women and people of color in the work force... probably wasn't hard for them to keep politics out of the work place because there was more homogeneity.

Discriminating against those who hold discriminatory views is different than discriminating against people based on their ethnicity or gender. And yes, I fully understand that what is or isn't a "discriminatory viewpoint" can be subjective. My point is that it's still a false equivalency to say that discriminating against someone who thinks women are lesser than them is the same as discriminating against women.
True, but it is bad to say "I have a degree, therefore I feel that doing X is beneath me". Note that I distinguish that from "I cost the company a lot of money, so it would be more efficient to have someone else do X".
Friends who have stayed here for more than 3+ years. One was an australian who was starting her own brand on myntra, one girl was from Dubai who was working in an architechture firm in delhi, one is a friend who moved from dubai 8 years ago and is now starting his own pharma company etc etc

>How is a foreigner coming to Delhi for a few days

A lot more cities in the world have higher population density than Delhi. Overpopulation isnt a bad thing

>Delhi having 24 million population

True not for beginners, but people reach there in 3-5 years.

>No company is paying beginners anywhere

This statement is loaded with quite a few assumptions. Healthcare in SF is overloaded and waiting periods for doctors and specialists can go into months. Delhi is actually famous for medidal tourism in the world. With the rising gun crime and culture personal safety is a problem in the US. Delhi has a much better metro than SF a few times ,I've been to US and it has a small trams. etc.
>I am pretty sure the people in SFO

I have visited SF a couple of times and didn't enjoy it much. Stayed near fisherman's wharf for more than a couple of weeks. It was good and I would visit again though.
>Its would be obvious to you if you visit the states :)
I agree and think it's amazing. I'm looking forward to that day and when it comes. The other side is that it's also likely to open up a whole new avenue for web based security exploits.
In my experience with Stoicism, it doesn't help at all with the feelings per se, it helps you to put them in perspective, to help see them as a natural part of life. But the feelings are still there, and they still fuckin' hurt.
Government subsidies (and grants) support market forces.
Rights are human concepts, they aren't intrinsic.

It's about feeling inferior, it's about being treated inferior, often violently so.

For instance, what happens when you try and retrieve groceries from a supermarket when you cannot afford to pay for them.
The law, in its majestic equality, may consider them both equally objectionable.

My morality, which is what informs my outrage (or lack thereof), does not.
Higher clock speeds and lower power consumption are not exactly trivial improvements when the process technology hasn't changed significantly...
That didn't stop them so far from making everybody else look bad. The latest in Google's unfair competitive practices:

Depends on her age, computer proficiency and how long she wants to purse this.

- Her ultimate goal is learn a language used by the industry like java\c#\c++ (specialization)

- A step before that would be an engine like Unity or Unreal Engine 4 (for full games)

- before that game marker and modifying other peoples games for (mutation, states and objectives)

- at the start. robotic turtles. Scripting, minecraft for (basic sequences, loops, lists)
YouTube has had friend requests and private messaging for a long time. At least 2008, maybe earlier.
Same here. I'm going to wait for Zen2 before moving on. 8c/16t at 4.5+ GHz will be a compelling upgrade.
Once we have 24" tablets maybe this would work for me.
Looks like "we don't know if data was leaked" is now a standard language that accompanies every security bug disclosure to avoid GDPR fines.
Maybe. But time zones are difficult for remote teamwork, and crossing borders also have legal, language, culture and tax issues. Many remote positions on job boards are “US only”. Perhaps for these reasons.
It's also entirely possible that even if Asimov had been introduced to the hypothesis at the time that he may have sided with Sapir and Whorf themselves who felt the Strong position was untenable for more than a thought experiment (ie, that it was a proper Null Hypothesis designed to be disproven, to prove more useful things such as some of the corollaries to the Weak version of the Hypothesis). Asimov would have probably loved that about the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, given the implication that he and (John W.) Campbell built the Three Laws as a Null Hypothesis to disprove. [1] Makes you wonder if Campbell had taken a fancy to Sapir-Whorf as much as he did Psionics or Robotics what sorts of sci-fi might have mined that concept; an Asimov Sapir-Whorf novel might have been fascinating.

[1] I personally am on the side that the novels do manage to disprove the Three Laws several times, particularly in that the Zeroth Law is a huge consequent failure in the Laws (resulting directly in the failure of the Empire and a lot of the weirdness of the Foundation era), but it's a fascinating debate on both sides, and an interesting question of which side Asimov himself was on at various points in his career.
In what way? I've been using Elixir since late 2015 and have rarely had issues.
It was just the mirrors. Earth observing telescopes aren't useful for deep space.
They have a head start in getting to the market. We need more time to reach their level of maturity, but we believe we have the core concept and technology to surpass them quite a bit. For the really large projects our focus on the core specification already makes a difference.
Creating AI that can respond to questions in mixed languages like humans
UXPin (based in both SV and Poland) does just fine for our organization. Been using it for a year and a half with only fairly minor issues now and then. And it has Sketch integration.
Take a look at a UK police officer tackling a disturbed person with a knife. Ordinarily they won't have a gun, so that is no use. They have a baton, a stab vest, maybe a tazer and cs spray. Most importantly they have a radio on their ear and can call for help and they have training. UK police officers are not routinely killed by knife wielding mad people. So no, you don't need to shoot sick people just to make sure you get home tonight.
The idealism of a bunch of engineers won't make the slightest difference, except may be appease their own sense of morality, as long as there are enough engineers willing to be tech-whores. In this regard, the supply exceeds the demand.

Technology is the proverbial knife which can cut a fruit to feed and can also cut a throat to terrorize. Take the current darling of tech, AI/ML. If you are working on this, at a megacorp especially, you should realize that sooner or later it will be used for nefarious activities. But should that stop you from contributing to the field? Would database engineers rue the fact that their products are used to store child porn?

My point is, unless something as explicit as the ones depicted in the article happens, its highly unlikely to know what the tech you are developing is going to be adapted for besides the one it was designed and built for. The google employee notes it themselves. Having ethical concerns is always advisable, but constantly wanting to know if the tech will be used by evil doers (which is not same as wanting to know more about a specific requirement that looks questionable) just makes one come across as a dick because no one except the powers that be would know that.

I hope engineers don't go from being sheep to full on hippies, but choose the rational middle path instead.
"Although the Irish had reached and even established a religious community in Iceland before A.D. 800, there is nothing to connect Brendan with this venture. Nor is there any reliable evidence to show that either Brendan or any of his countrymen had ever reached Greenland or America."

I've been working my way down this path. Fastmail for email and CalDAV/CardDAV, DavDroid to sync, K9 as my email client, OsmAnd for maps, Firefox instead of Chrome. I try and remember to use SkyTube not YouTube but it isn't flawless. I use KISS as my launcher on Android.

I still haven't eliminated Google Photos, I do appreciate the free sync on my Pixel 2 XL for peace of mind, Google Translate is still super useful for offline translate and the camera translate feature and I haven't yet been able to replace Google Maps for transit instructions. I still use a Chromecast which I guess is next to go, maybe I'll actually setup a HTPC of sorts, or perhaps just use Kodi on my Xbox One S as that seems to work well enough.
A few years ago, I had an Google account. My account got disabled because I’ve tried to buy an app from Android Store. Besides the fact that I never managed to get my account back something funny happened a few years after.

I had teo Blogger blogs connected to the account and my Twitter was connected to my Blogger as well. I’ve lost those blogs too, and I couldn’t get them back. At some point, I’ve realized some suspicious tweets in my timeline and realized that they are from my blogs! So, Google freed my blogs but didn’t removed its connected accounts. Whoever got the account probably didn’t have any idea that these addresses are connected to a Twitter account as well! But the share to Twitter was on, and whatever she/he was positing were ending up in my twitter account!

Point being, Google is leaking from strange places! Add Google+ to your Blogger and you’ll risk much more I guess!
It's the norm in healthcare (HIPAA), disclosure is required for breaches that affect 500+ persons, and even <500 person breaches have to be reported annually to HHS and to the individual at the time of discovery.

They do--they don't have a backspace key. But they mean backspace.
Because "thousands of miles away in a country that actively encourages IP theft and other wrongdoings". It makes perfect sense. If you don't think that, try to run any business in another country. It's just obvious that it would be easier to do domestically. You just list other set of problems. Those problems only get compounded if we'are talking about another country.
Disappointing that someone felt they needed to downvote this perfectly valid and effective philosophical advice.
An obligation to announce findings would create a moral hazard as well, since the incentives would suddenly tilt sharply towards not looking for security vulnerabilities.

If it became routine for companies to report these kinds of vulns, the moral hazard might dry up.
They are shutting down the consumer version, which is the public edition. They are going to continue to develop and market Google+ for Businesses (like Facebook for Work).
Your security is only guaranteed by your obscurity. The moment this becomes standard practice and people start using popular software to handle personal services, this version of security will become laughable again.
If they potentially expose sensitive data, yes. Again, if an organization is certain that it hasn't then I'd say no. Sure, certain is a high bar but there's absolutely no way for people to make informed decisions and/or mitigate issues otherwise.
Is there some way to pay the homeless people to clean up the city?

I am thinking of something like a smartphone app that logs which blocks you spend time on. If you spend time on a block and it's cleanliness improves you get money. This idea does have some problems regarding minimum wage laws and funding but the concept could be worth a try at least.

Every time I read comments like this, I shake my head. Despite recent breaches, I still trust the big players--Google, FB, Microsoft, etc.--with my data from a security perspective far more than I'd trust myself to be able to manage security properly on my own servers or trust a smaller shop.

Security is hard. There are many, many more compromises of small firms and self-maintained servers than of these big players, it's just that they don't get major media coverage in 99% of cases.
They're going to continue to develop is, according to the post.

Serious question: you build your own social network based on what people really want it too work like, and won’t track them or allow advertising, instead you invite just a handful of “promoters” every year to show same ad to everyone (to pay your bills) and build in tools that will accept facebook export format - how do you crank-start such network to beat an obvious chicken-and-egg problem?
The FAA sounds so risk averse. I bet if passenger planes were invented today, the FAA would never allow them.
