It's not 100% comparable, but I'm using my Synology NAS with a few TB of space, and the Photostation app. DS Photo automatically syncs pictures from our phones and i manually upload the camera ones. I also use Synology C2 for offsite backup of my whole NAS. Works pretty well.
What would be cool is a command line util that you could pipe the script to for a safety inspection.

Something like:

Why don't you use DS Photo from Synology? It's a bit dated but you can have auto upload of pictures and browse PhotoStation. We do, at home
Usually I don't remember them because deep down I know don't need the information I just fed my stupid dopamine driven monkey brain with. I don't have to remember what a random person (or bot!?) said on the Internet about a random topic so it gets filtered in that manner and thrown away by this same brain. Sometime a message is so strong it gets through this filter, that is all.

100% agree. But I'm using the "old" PhotoStation instead of Moments. It feels too much like Google Photos where all pictures are bundled, and I like to have "Albums" or folders that are separate. But i use it also for just regular camera photography, not just phone where it makes more sense to have a timeline. Hard to have a useful timeline when I take 1000 pictures in a weekend with my Fuji
Conspiracy has a legal definition. "Conspiracy theory" has a different meaning. It is the sort of theory that resists evidence, since any evidence that opposes the theory is instead proof of the conspiracy. It is a form of magical thinking.

Windows Phone was so much better experience on similar hardware, plus I really dislike how they deal with Java and C++ developers on the platform.

We haven't even finished discovering the diversity in life forms on this planet. I'm an astronomy nutter, with all of the possibilities it brings. However, I'm continually amazed when I remember that our little planet is covered 70% by water that we truly have not explored. We keep finding some new species when they do go looking. The diversity of life in water compared to on land is impressive.

"Necessarily", when read according to your own expectations for this forum, made an important difference to my original post (without it, I would have been insisting that the issue is settled already), so it was reasonable for me to point out its removal. The nitpicking over it began with your response to me doing so, and you have kept it going by taking the worst possible reading of what I write. This is, indeed, how things sometimes go.

Meanwhile, in a branching thread, I had a short discussion with the author of the post I originally replied to, in which I agreed with the points he made there. Both of us, I think, clarified our positions and reached common ground. That is how it is supposed to go.

I did not set out to pick a fight with you, and if I had anticipated how you would take my words, I would have phrased things more clearly.

The odds of physical photos destroyed in a fire is far lower than a photo hosting service going out of business.

Interesting idea, and of course I like the release using the AGPL, but I am trying to wrap my head around the use cases.

Since Freebase was discontinued (not to worry, the data is in WikiData), are crowd funded/contributed Knowledge Graphs really a thing? Company internal Knowledge Graphs tend to be re-built periodically from raw data sources, including materializing implicit relations (speeds up queries). Why the need for blockchain?

Anyway I wish the developers good luck because I think that graph databases are still under appreciated.

This appears to be a very limited subset of Unix standard cal, without a single new feature, and missing some of the basic cal features (like 'cal 2020').

The time math in the source looks like stuff gmtime()/mktime() do internally -- maybe you could delete some code by using these and working with Unix timestamps.

One could argue that analytics purpose is not direct marketing purpose.
My understanding is that as analytics can be considered as a usual/expected business process, it may use legitimate interests as far as it fulfill requirements (information of the process, the right to opt-out, ...).
However, the problem is that analytics may be advanced analytics. Is the retrieval of Adwords parameters from a glcid allowed/expected ? Is the injection of historical behaviour or marketing segment allowed/expected ?
The program that you likely know as "cal" is itself a clone, named "ncal" and written by Wolfgang Helbig in the 1990s. It was preceded by a clone written for BSD by Kim Letkeman in 1989, which was in turn a replacement for a "cal" written by Bill Joy.

That isn't really evidence, the environmentalists have a terrible track record of calling everything a subsidy.

In Australia we have a fuel tax as part of a user-pays philosophy for road maintenance. Because they don't use public roads, mining companies were exempted from the fuel tax. This gets classed as an enormous subsidy for coal which is technically true but realistically silly. If renewables were buying fuel and not using public roads they'd be exempted too.

There is a big handwave there where we take it, on faith, that these subsidies were just handouts as opposed to, say, reasonable tax exemptions like in the Australian case.
Yes, a .deb package. Much easier to UNinstall. That's the biggest problem with these install scripts, they give a crap across your entire system and it's not obvious how to get rid of it if you decide you don't want it.
Anki is used a lot in medical education. There's a lot of small details, and you can string them along to form the big picture. An example is going from symptoms -> diagnosis -> treatment options -> drug side effects. You can't just memorize use drug X for Y, but you incorporate information that you know to formulate the best plan. Suppose the patient has kidney disease - you've memorized X is nephrotoxic so you find another treatment.

I will say this is easier for some and harder for others. I've noticed some people have a lot of difficulty recalling facts without a specific cue when using Anki. It's best used with traditional learning, but you can focus more on the why.
A government is like fire, a handy servant, but a dangerous master

Government comes in many forms but at its core government is a monopoly on the invitation of force. Governments are instituted to use force to compell action or inaction. The laws of a government can be democratic or dictorial but in either case the laws are backed by this threat of force

Evil is a subjective value. So for a government to be evil you would need to agree with the statement "it is unethical to initiate the use of force"

Of you believe it is unethical to initiate force then one would alose believe government is evil or unethical
> Young attractive women also get an excellent financial education through dating, at least in terms of how much money people have made through various means, and how smart they have to be for it. I think this is yet another reason why women quit the engineering pipeline.

this doesn't really make sense. you have to date someone for a while to get a good understanding of how much they make and what it takes to do that. in the short term, all you're really learning is how much they want to impress you. you would have to date several people concurrently for a year to get as much insight as your brother likely got in a week of work.

> If you consider e.g. organic solar panels mass produced using some inkjet style production process, producing many TWH of solar capability might become a matter of just printing such panels by the square mile using cheap production processes that don't involve a lot of exotic materials, energy, etc.

If the panels are too cheap, the cost of the inverter becomes the bottleneck. That is, there's a limit to how low you can go; even if the panels cost zero to produce, you still have to produce the inverters.
When I was in middle school in US public school in the 90s, we had a Home Economics class where we were taught how to balance a checkbook, and that was about all the financial literacy that was covered.

Personally, I agree that it was a huge disservice to most students, and I think that a better general life skills class (I'd probably lump in civics/voting, dealing with various bureaucratic/administrative tasks, effective online research, personal privacy, how one might evaluate various professional services, resume writing etc) that includes basic financial literacy would be much more useful than just about anything else taught in school (to me, learning to socialize, properly empathize, and to reason and critically think are even more important, but also generally not part of most standard curricula).

After college, I got very into FIRE and personal investing, and eventually a while back put together my own basic financial literacy guide. It boiled down first to budgeting and calculating expenses (especially discretionary expenditures) vs earnings (As a school lesson, I think being forced to try to figure out a budget of a single parent on a minimum wage would be pretty eye-opening). For a general class, a practical lesson on tax filing would probably be worthwhile. And then for investing I agree about covering the general landscape of various savings and investments work, but more focused on in-depth/concrete lessons on fundamental concepts. Compounding, tax-advantage, dollar cost averaging, correlation, and rebalancing would basically cover it I think.

I think learning about how money (and debt) works - I'd argue that most people don't have a great understanding of that at all, some basic macroeconomics, and maybe some freakonomics type topics for color would be useful as well, but I don't think that financial literacy needs to go beyond the very basics to give everyone a bare minimum framework to be able do their own research/learning. But I also generally think that should be the goal of every topic taught, which seems to be rather at outs with mainstream teaching and learning practice in American public education.

The Orion Nebula is such a difficult object to get the inner detail. At its heart are four stars known as the Trapezium, but you rarely ever see them as they over-expose so easily. With as many exposures they took to make this panel, I was hoping to have seen the Trapezium. It's not hard to understand why, as you loose so much other detail and brilliance of the nebula if you do expose for the Trapezium. There's no wonder this patch of the sky is one of the most photographed of the entire sky.

Suppose I claimed it's impossible to understand Shakespeare with all the consonants are deleted, leaving only vowels. Most people would accept that claim without pedantically asking me to define "understand". Same story here. I'm arguing that certain environments, when shoe-horned into the traditional RL model, are like Shakespeare with all the consonants removed.

The agent might (or might not) find progressively more and more optimal solutions to the interpreted environment, but not to the true environment (unless by dumb luck), because it does not see what the true environment actually is. For example, in the concrete environment described above, you could suppose completing Task C takes more steps than Task B. Then the agent is likely to conclude, on the basis of the misleading arctan rewards, that Task C is not worth the extra steps. Depending on the extra steps, this conclusion could be badly false.

What do you mean? The real vector space defined over the rationals is infinite-dimensional; it can't have a finite basis. I think any basis of R over Q would have to be not only infinite, but uncountably so.

Do you mean that any given vector of the space can be represented using a linear combination of a finite subset of the basis elements with rational scalar coefficients?
Wow, reading all of these comments, it's really striking to me how Google has basically no consumer goodwill left. Obviously this is a biased sample, but it's kind of amazing to me how a company that was admired and beloved not too long ago is just reviled now: by governments, by their users, by their customers (i.e. advertisers).

I really have to wonder what morale is like in Google-land. So much of their corporate ethos was built on what great things they do for the world, and now with this constant drumbeat of basically everyone saying "we hate you, you suck, I can't wait until you get broken up" has to be weighing on employees.

And note this is not just a "people hate all big companies" thing. Sure, people have tons of gripes about Apple and Netflix for example but nowhere near the level of broken trust/expectations that has happened at Google.
I'm not afraid of nuclear power but I am afraid of the corruption that seems to be inextricably entwined with it.

If a private company and its investors want to build a nuclear power plant and are willing to earmark sufficient funds for decommissioning then I say they should be allowed to go for it. But they should not expect any more state support than any other commercial enterprise and they should be expected to bid on the open market for the resources (land, water, rail and road connections, etc.) that they need without relying on state guarantees for the power that is generated not for compulsory purchase orders when someone refuses to sell their house to make way for it. And certainly the state should not be demolishing sites of special scientific interest in order to build nuclear, or any other, power stations.

The same, of course, should apply to wind and solar.
An interesting experiment is to leave your phone at home when you go out. Try it.

I don't mean take your phone anyway but don't use it. That is not the same thing.

The value in this experiment is not to have your phone to fall back on. Initially you feel anxiety, but it soon becomes quite liberating. Having to look at road signs to navigate, relying on personal interaction or reading notices to find things out etc etc. Sounds old fashioned but it improves my quality of life when I do it.
