> It basically means if something goes wrong, you loose half your life savings,

No, only half your savings after getting married. If you started the marriage with 0, tough luck, I guess.
Does that matter? My understanding is that the groups are a random sample so it should be unbiased estimator of the true pop
It is more about intent. Being married is an explicit commitment to one another for life (nominally). That provides a foundation where a bad day, month, or year is okay because you are committed, and that is a place of security for children who know their parents are similarly committed to them. Cohabitating couples are less likely to stay together even if they eventually marry. There's something about commitment to marriage that leads to better outcomes in relationships. The feeling of permanence for the future improves the experience of the now.
I have actually found the clip/scene feature in Bitwig to be better than the equivalent feature in Ableton. In Bitwig I can set the DAW to record a set number of bars for each clip and then start looping immediately after recording finishes, which is my perfect workflow for building a track. With Ableton I was not able to do this, and instead I would be required to hit 'stop' and then manually crop the clip by changing its length.
Strong AI in 2020? No, We Didn’t See It
Stability for children; emotional, physical, and financial.

Do not underestimate the value to children in knowing/feeling that their situation has personal, familial and societal permanence, even if that permanence is somewhat illusory.

That is not to say there isn't value to childless people in marriage. But the value of it truly became meaningful to me once we had children. Conflicts with the spouse that could potentially lead to severance of the relationship tend to be diminished when the perspective of the children is taken into account.
Awesome thanks for the kind words!
You know how costco deeply subsidizes it's chicken and hotdog to incentivize people to use them?

That's how. Not every single thing you offer needs to be profitable. Losing money on some stuff is worth it if it increases brand loyalty.
FPGA vendor support for higher-level synthesis tools is still pretty poor. Not surprised on that front.

Offload-from-GC runtime tools do exist, e.x. Cudafy would translate .Net code into Cuda kernels and handle kernel dispatch. Of course, you were very limited in what constructs and types you could put in kernel functions, but you could write your whole application in C# and accelerate the important blocks.

In practice, a lot of beginner GPU computing has moved to the world of NN training and inference, in which the complexities of GPU offload are entirely wrapped by the libraries you use.

For traditional GPU-accelerated tasks, the limited languages available are not the problem. Decomposing your problem into a form that is amenable to GPU offload can be difficult, and if you're experienced enough to do that well, writing Cuda kernels and dispatch in C++ is not an obstacle. For example, Cudafy meant you didn't need to know Cuda-specific syntax and expressions, but you still had to understand the behavior and limitations of GPUs to write performant code.
If we go back 50 years:

- DNA tests did not exist. a guy could get a woman pregnant, not recognize the child and have no legal obligation to pay for child support. A woman could also trick a man to support a kid that is not his, but that's another story.

- Many women were housewives, and a separation would leave them, and potentially their kids, with nothing.

- The wedding ring serves the purpose of telling everyone around you that you are not single. People did not have an online presence that could help you infer this.

Weddings serve many purposes, it is not only a celebration, it is also informational, and wedding gifts can be considered an early form of crowdfunding.

Marriage guarantees legitimacy of children under the law and financially protects people. They are also great for historic purposes.

Many cultures have converged towards the same thing for a reason.
I think the key here is:

> Back in 2005, the company started migrating those apps from Fortran and C/C++ to server-side JavaScript

Since their use of Javascript predates Node (and the rest of that ecosystem, like Webpack or Babel or whatever), they've built up their own Javascript environment that doesn't rely on Node or Node conventions at all. Not so much a "get around odd shitshows" situation as much as a parallel evolution.
And Strang (more than) knows what he's talking about. Unlike OP, who treats minor corrections as personal attacks and goes all defensive. This is part of the reasons why it's dangerous to replace education from established institutions with random blogs on the internet.
I was amazed anyone tried to make a free Docker registry. It's like making a CDN, except instead of individual files, it's for a whole app and all of its dependencies. It's a crazy amount of data for storage and bandwidth.
Robert Hooke might be a little annoyed at that interpretation.
Apple's Photos app has a decent search-by-contents feature. Even better, the analysis is all on-device -- it isn't server-side, and doesn't rely on you uploading your photos to iCloud.

I believe all services provide that, because both have their upsides and downsides
Pixel 1 is unique in that they forgot to put a deadline into the deal. They didn't make the same mistake for the next ones. And, yes, unlimited original quality still works for me as of today, but I'm not taking any chances with deleting my local copies.

Though, to be honest, Pixel 1 is absolutely horrendous when it comes to replacing the battery. Even if you did manage to open it without breaking the screen, good luck putting it back together. I did a poor job on mine, part of the bottom bezel didn't stick and there are weird green glitches on the screen when you press on that part. This thing really wasn't designed to ever come apart.

So, anyway, I have a Pixel 4a on its way to me, and I'm paying 50€/month for a server with much more disk space than I know what to do with. Are there any decent self-hosted replacements for Google Photos?

About 5 yrs ago a pharmacist in Bangkok sold me amoxicillin no questions asked. In the country side or in Laos or Cambodia it's even easier. Same for India and probably most of Africa. An extra 10$ goes a long way.
Probably both. If the NSA thought it unbreakable, the app would not be easily available to the public.
I have one primary collection but I also have probably 30TB of old drives lying around with photos scattered all about. Is there something I can do to mount those drives, grab all image files and then dedupe/catalog them (at least by date)? Ideally this would work with videos as well.
Perhaps the reason the U.S. is pushing its allies to ban Huawei from 5G networks is because of their own past (and possibly current) experiences using puppet corporations for spying.
Sounds like you should just use Google Photos as it delivers most of that, with perhaps some improvements in 'backing up' outside of GP.
Sounds like a bad deal, comparatively. Microsoft skips the low-level interfaces but gives you redundancy and usable UIs and services (on top of an API)
I am so glad that Notion platform is constantly developing, with all the additional features it is going to be the best alternative in their field
You agree to have your photos analyzed and used in advertising.

They sell the data to advertisers and make money off of you.
Sorry if I missed it, but I'm not seeing it: what's the bandwidth here? i.e., the time to read, process and write back the whole contents of the disk (using just the FPGA)?
I fully expect that to change next year. It already changed once from Original quality->High quality
Surprised to see the level of anger here about this.

This is not the usual "Google kills product", it's the type of thing that HN loves to say they would be happy to pay for ("Just give me something that does A B C and doesn't show me ads and I would be happy to pay for it!!!", well I guess until you are actually asked to pay for it).

Also, as a general rule, people should welcome big cos moving away from the "free shit" product model for two reasons—

[1] Self-serving reason: If the product is free, it's more likely to be killed if it doesn't get that much usage or gets a lot of usage and consumes resources but does not synergize with money-making parts of the company.

[2] Industry-serving reason: Big cos can keep offering free shit for way longer than any new player can afford to. Free shit from big cos is a major reason no smaller players can come up with potentially better offerings, because they will need to charge money to be a sustainable business, while big cos can cross-subsidize it. By moving to a paying model, the field is more level, and there is more of an opportunity for smaller players to come up with similar pricing but a better product.
No, it collapsed.
Worth noting that promise has an expiration date though: my Pixel 3XL says "Unlimited storage for full resolution photos & videos uploaded from your Pixel before 2/1/2022". You can find this in the Backup & Sync settings page in the Photos app.
Do they extract data from your photos (meta + image recognition) for your user ad targeting profile (and probably the other people in your photos). I always assumed that was the tradeoff in using them to store photos for 'free'. If they do extract data, I wouldn't expect them to stop once they start charging either.
I admire your sense of humor.

The cost of compensating wind farms for overloading the power grid, which considering the UK's current (and future!) wind generation capacity, is not inconsequential.

Wind farms in the UK have to be disabled for periods during the Winter, which is hardly ideal, even if such downtime is a few hours at a time.
Trapping sauce, ok. But heat exchange? Why would you need optimal heat exchange? And why should a complex shape such as this have better heat exchange than an "unrolled" plane like, e.g. Tagliatelle?

What kind of in information would you like to see in that trace?

Not planning to work on it directly, but I am planning to do some larger executor work as one of the next bigger projects, and having ideas about what kind of information people would like to see could make it easier to implement them later.
It's worth noting that Rolls-Royce has a lot of experience making small nuclear reactors, particularly those used in the UK's nuclear submarines.
IMO, the benefits of having electronic voting with an auditable paper trail and backup outweighs the downsides, if implemented properly.

The process described in the article seems a little different than the ones we used in Texas (Dallas County). We have our registration verified and check in, and then are given a paper ballot. You put that into the voting machine, cast your ballot which is recorded electronically on the machine, then printed on the paper ballot and returned to you. You're told to inspect it for accuracy, then deposit it in a _separate_ tabulating machine, which scans it and displays what it recorded when reading your vote, tabulates your vote electronically, and stores the paper backup in a locked deposit box inside the machine. From my understanding, if anything goes wonky during this process and you notice it, you can have the ballot invalidated and receive another to cast. At the end of the day, the counts are printed and stored along with the memory cards on every machine, and those and the secure ballot boxes are all stored with tamper evident seals.

So you have the electronic count on the voting machine from the memory card, the printed count from the voting machine generated at the end of the day, the electronic count on the tabulating machine from its memory card, the printed count from the tabulating machine generated each day, as well as the paper ballots as a backup, which from my understanding are re-tabulated en-masse on larger and faster machines after the election to get a second count as part of the certification process. All data points have to match. None of the machines are connected to the internet, so you'd have to gain physical access to them or the memory cards, and anything done would have to match the counts on all the other associated machines and receipts, plus the paper ballot backups. The Secretary of State also generates a list of voters who cast ballots each day by county and voting location based on when you first check in to vote, so that's another publicly auditable list that would have to match that is not related to the voting machines themselves.

Paper ballots are definitely more simple and probably just as secure, if not more, if handled properly. However, having multiple points of redundancy is invaluable to help quickly identify issues and ensure everything matches over multiple steps of the process.
I've found k3s (https://k3s.io/) to be extremely easy to use for setting up and running kubernetes on a group of Raspberry Pis. Specifically, I followed this guide to get my clusters up and running quickly and it's worked out pretty well: https://blog.alexellis.io/test-drive-k3s-on-raspberry-pi/
So I'm thinking Deduplication on drive will be the big thing here. Think XFS or ReFS block cloning but without server side processing.

Seems like Krugman phoned this in.

Half of the column is other people's words and at no point does he even attempt to back up the headline (which acts as his thesis) that Bitcoin is Evil.

He wrote a slightly more in-depth opinion in 2018 [0], but again, he ends up casting doubts on the adoption/use so far, but hand-waving away those who would talk about the future of the technology.

Krugman probably has to deal with more cryptocurrency enthusiasts than I do, but I'd be far more interested to hear him propose a theoretical fix for the problems he identifies, or some admission of the potential for blockchains. Without that, in both the OP's link and [0], he just comes off as contrarian.

Krugman's Nobel Prize was well-deserved, but like Chomsky and other popular academics, it's so hard to separate the brilliant-thinker signal from the spotlight-powered noise.

I'm not sure that we have the same definition of 'suggest'...

(But of course we already have some evidence, for instance about ECHELON and PRISM (Skype...))

I don't think the OpenBSD security claim is as great as it sounds. Unless you are only running sshd and pf, you are beyond their "default install" and heavily into packages and ports.

Is gnome 3 on OpenBSD significantly more secure than on Linux? I very much doubt it.

I'm working on one that's cross-platform, and, critically, self-hosted. The beta is available for free in exchange for your feedback.

FWIW, I recommend to my beta users that they personally store at least one of their backup copies. https://photostructure.com/faq/how-do-i-safely-store-files/
> Do you not think we're moving towards a future where both platforms converge into just iOS?

Could be, but as far as the new cross platform frameworks are shaping up right now it looks like their strategy is slightly different. Apple is seemingly creating a developer ecosystem to loosley describe interfaces and share them between platforms while they ultimately decide how your UI is rendered. Maybe you're right and one day that means flicking a switch and everything is unified. I also look at something like iPadOS for instance which started as extremely similar to iOS and has now diverged and become it's own thing, different to both the Mac and iPhone.

Verilog, VHDL, and SystemVerilog are supported by Vivado. A small subset of C++ is supported through Vivado's high level synthesis compiler, which transforms some C++ code into Verilog. RTL stands for register-transfer level, which is a general layer of abstraction; one uses a hardware description language such as Verilog to describe RTL designs. The analogy of Verilog with RTL is "Verilog is to RTL, as Haskell is to functional programming".
About the turn of the twentieth century, American actor William Gillette was writing a stage play about Sherlock Holmes. Gillette wrote to Conan Doyle asking if he would object to Gillette having Holmes get married in the play. Doyle wrote back telling Gillette he could marry Holmes, murder Holmes, or do whatever he wanted to do with Holmes. (Story told in Vincent Starrett's The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes [Macmillan, New York, 1933].)
The only option that I know of is Dropbox. they're a classic player in this space with an acceptable track record (afaict). They have a nice app with auto-uploading of pictures, they dump them into a single folder with zero modification, preserving all metadata. Creating a photo album to share is as simple as putting all the jpegs into a folder and choosing "share" in their UI. You can create share links with the usual expected gradients of public accessibility, or you can share them with only specific authorized Dropbox users.

Well, perhaps apart from the fact that you are giving your photos to the company that makes money on targeted advertising and invests bajillions into AI technologies that learn from data.

Some of us are distinctly uncomfortable with that, especially given what has been done to Gmail — your mail is being fed to machines and used to build an advertising profile for you.
YouTube allows free video uploads and ingests an incredible amount of content every day. Most of that content won't make any money, or just pennies, and yet they're storing it for free. They're not running out of space.

In retrospect, it's not surprising that they're ending the unlimited free ride. Most (all?) of the major photo hosting sites ended their unlimited free plans ages ago. Clearly it is not sustainable from a business perspective.

(I am not referring to the meme sites like Imgur who host images at a far lower resolution with a far higher compression ratio, which is of course useless for photos.)
