>has gps become a catch-all phrase for all the different systems and do iPhone read location from both?

Modern "GPS" chipsets work with multiple SatNav systems. My phone has GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo capability.
Pricing is expensive comparing it to mega (https://mega.io/pro). Mega is end to end encrypted as well (Mega is 2tb for $118. Source code is also available https://mega.io/sourcecode).

Why would someone pick your service?
In theory it could be good thing for more heat to come out of the back with the same SoC - it means more heat is being transferred to the air... As long as the running thermals look the same this would be an improvement.

A reason for this could be better air modelling, increased surface area of the heat sink or longer contact time with the heat sink before being fanned out.

It's worth waiting for some proper testing before deciding if it is better or not.
The question is are they few and not quite as bad because the shadowbanning, or in spite of it. Those comments can't be responded to without vouching for them, and I doubt most people are going to vouch for them just to respond, unless the comment has some merit. How many people just stop commenting because they are getting no interaction? how many additional posts are prevented because people can't respond to those comments?

Like many policies that might actually have an effect, I'm hesitant to say exactly how much it achieves without data comparing what it's like without it.
From what I have seen, I like Photoprism [1] better. Yes, they are a different kind of product, but feature wise they should be considered a competitor.

Yes, ente.io is easier to setup, but there are many things lacking or unpolished (e.g. the image sizes that are being loaded while going through the fotos fullscreen in the browser).

I agree entirely, but would phrase it differently. The baseline advice isn't about how to get rich, its about how to live a financially comfortable middle-class life.
It’s totally false even ignoring extreme outliers like Tim Cook. The reason there are so many angel investors in the Bay Area is because of the feedback loop of ipos giving regular employees 1-5M pretty often (and 5-50M+ less often). It’s also part of the reason a pretty unremarkable and small home on the peninsula costs $3M.
> Nothing in major US cloud providers can reasonably be expected to remain private

I'd expand that to "Nothing in third-party cloud providers can reasonably be expected to remain private". If you don't have ultimate oversight of how the host of your data is managed, anything could be going on there, regardless what nationality of company is managing it or what promises their salespeople make.
iPhone could have teleport technology and I would still not buy it due to iOS 15's privacy concerns.
The question is too far up in fuzzy space. Narrow down to several use cases and specific problems within those and search field will be more manageable. Examples: Social workers want to be able to handle more cases appropriately. How many cases can they handle without diminishing quality scores. Politicians want to appear caring to the needs of as many constituents as possible. How do they group needs into buckets to find what is most relevant. Find the overlap and dig into it with more cases and then questions.
I can not speak about him specifically, but most people that call themselves atheist in this setting mean "agnostic atheists", i.e. "of course I can not prove there is no god, but I do not see the point of god, so let's focus on morality from within". A gross simplification, of course, but hopefully it clarifies what I think is just a semantic misunderstanding.
omg, the universe is going to be sucked into one gigantic black hole!

Cloud services have entire departments of people constantly combatting this stuff for a reason. It's the single hardest part about providing an image service.
If I had to guess I'd think the 30% of customers that Microsoft did notify we're the ones that didn't have access in some way secured via private network or IAM controls.
You're missing the point.

People still have to covertly read a small rectangle for the answers to the questions. That's what teachers were looking for before and that's what they're looking for now.
> SOS is only possible with a monthly plan

Is that allowed? In normal cell coverage areas, emergency calls are routed by law even without a SIM card.
Worst I can imagine would be this, but for active directory or IAM.
I remember circa ~2000 an engineer had a website that described a project called "Flo-control": His cat, Flo, constantly brought live animals into the house, so he built a simple image detector to only open the cat door if she was not carrying something. It doesn't appear to be online anymore, but it used traditional image analysis methods and ingenuity rather than the TensorFlow SSDMobileNet sledgehammer, which is also fairly inaccurate in a real-world application.

You are contributing to a 401k and have a family. The two data points you’ve revealed contra-indicate loser status.
Not this year at least.

Mobile ground stations (i.e. anything lighter than a few pound and using less than a few watt) will be L-band, and Starlink uses the much higher frequency Ka band (>= 20 GHz).

They also require quite sophisticated steering/beamforming.

Absolutely nothing is stopping you or the OP from choosing to take the time out of your days to give yourself some space. You don't need a mandatory, expensive and time consuming commute for that.
There are a lot of other options and preprocessing methods you can use to get better results. It's hard to tell without seeing the picture but thresholding/binarization might help with the contrast. In order to isolate the text, the mode option also makes a lot of difference: https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/ImproveQuality.html#...

If that doesn't work you'll have to add a text localization model to your pipeline.
Ironically, I think the advice of "Personal Finance experts" (which are derided in this article) is probably perfect for you. Maybe someone else will have a specific suggestion of who to check out, but I think they are mainly trying to help people with the psychological problem of spending too much money.
What is happening here is more properly called client side encryption[1]. End to end encryption is the case where two clients are communicating directly with one another where the identities are established directly between those clients.

Hey, we know that we should have a demo video of sorts so that you don't have to sign up to experience the product. It's due to a lack of resources that we don't have one yet. But we will prioritize this. Sorry for the trouble, I hope it's worth it.
Come to think of it, the fact that two spheres contain the same number of points as one sphere does would seem to be closely related to why it's possible to produce two spheres from one sphere just by rearranging the points.

You can obviously produce a large sphere from a small sphere by rearranging the points, as long as you're willing to handle one point at a time -- that's what scaling is. But that requires an uncountably infinite number of translations. The Banach-Tarski theorem says we can do the same thing in only a finite number of translations.
I have Synology, actually. Is Synology Photos trustable?
> does not scale beyond the absolute basics

doing precisely this is the subject of the paper though. i don't think they've fully succeeded either but it's worth engaging with. in principle there's nothing stopping a development environment which offers a smooth progression between drag and drop blocks and a fully featured language offering a typical text editor interaction experience.
This is synonymous with calling a writer bad at writing because they pointed out bad writing. The conclusion should be the opposite shouldn’t it?

Do opinions dissenting from Correct Thought fare better elsewhere?

There are very few human interaction spaces where such opinions are given oxygen, and it's usually done in a highly-codified context.
As a Hindu I would be very interested in parts of Gita which justify atrocities. I don’t understand how anybody would spread nonsense like that.
Even if we entertain the possibility that one could create fully-ethically-produced pornography that pedophiles would like (maybe using adult actors that look much younger than they are, or something), there are still some problems.

It’s well known that some people develop fetishes, where they can only orgasm by experiencing their particular kinks. Probably if they had never seen porn that contained these kinks, they wouldn’t have developed into a fetish. So you could imagine someone who’s a half-pedophile, attracted to adults as well as kids, becoming a full pedophile after too much exposure to child pornography. That would be a pretty negative outcome.

Politically though, anything that improves the lives of pedophiles is a complete nonstarter regardless of how many children it saves from being raped. Because if you propose something that improves the lives of pedophiles, everyone will say “hmm, pretty suspicious that this is your pet project, how do we know you’re not a pedophile?”. So the whole discussion is kind of moot.
Is the Garmin more durable than a iPhone in a rugged case with screen protection?
“When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.”

When the population you are trying to sort becomes larger than the ability to discover value, you rely on values that are given to you. Your argument is valid. Once the population grows to that level you can only do that. You need objective criteria. But we all know that objective criteria is bad. We know that the teachers are teaching to the test. We know the students are cramming and forgetting. We know that tutors bring up the results of students by one standard deviation. Perhaps we should rethink this.

Maybe instead of greedily taking the largest population we can go through, we should stick to what we can evaluate and simply take the best from that pile?

Nah forget it, we just found a new metric that the students aren't gaming yet! We're just going to use that, that will work forever.
> Are vein patterns even static?

What does that matter? Imagine some other characteristic that definitely changes over time lets say your clothing. The case in question had an expert saying: “Yes, the person recorded in the video is wearing the exact same clothes that we know the father was wearing the night of the incident, and that he is also wearing to court today. Now mind you, we dont know the exact statistical lilelihood that someone else would wear the exact same pants, shirt, tie, shoes and hat.” Your attempted counter argument is “yes ok, that is definitely the same clothes that the perpetrator was wearing and that the defendant wore that night and today, but he could change his clothes tomorrow, so…”
Emergency satellite beacons are fairly inexpensive, assuming emergencies are your only use case.

Can you explain how the economics of what you are doing would be competitive with something like S3 or B2? I feel like there could be a market/margin here but there are a lot of numbers involved to figure out the specifics.
There's already a bunch of great advice here. I have just one thing to add:

> the me of right now acts as if future me will just blow all my savings irresponsibly anyway.

I know this horrible feeling, but it isn't really true. It's a self fulfilling prophecy. It may take some work and time to change yourself and your habits, but it is possible. Even just commiting to yourself that you're going to work on this can go a long way to easing your feelings about it and breaking the cycle.

And if you can't do it alone, don't! Therapy is an option. Consider it splurging on your retirement.
A newfound biomolecule, consisting of RNA modified by sugars
Initially, Ada had the restriction that the functions must be pure.

The restriction has been lifted only much later, so what you say is correct for modern Ada, not for the original Ada.

While gcc and other C and C++ compilers have non-standard extensions to specify whether a function is pure or not, I assume that an Ada compiler can recognize a pure function just by the fact that all its parameters are "in", so no extra keyword is needed.

What is needed is that the pure functions must be easily recognized by compilers and other tools and also by programmers. Not only there is no need that the functions be restricted to pure functions, that is actually undesirable.

AFAIK, unlike in C/C++, where pointers can make this task quite complex, in modern Ada it is still easy to recognize the pure functions.
I fully agree. It's a hard sell getting people to switch from an evil but known cloud provider to an unknown cloud provider that claims to not be evil.

What we do not need is more cloud offerings that can change, vanish or lock us out at the blink of an algorithm's eye.

What we need, rather, are reliable and easy-to-use solutions that allow us to retain full control of our data (i.e. self-hosted and offline) while having feature parity with the big cloud-only solutions.

I for one am convinced that there is plenty of money to be made that way. Perhaps not as much on autopilot as with the quasi-scam that is cloud computing, but people willingly paid hundreds or thousands for software before clouds and subscriptions. People will do so again, if you bring a convincing, unique or competitive product to market.

That being said, I like, appreciate and support this project for its impetus, even though I think its distribution strategy is misguided and fad-driven (re-selling cloud space instead of selling software). It's not too late to change that...
I heard stories about this type of troubleshooting used in production from a colleague and friend about 40 years senior to me.

It might not, but it‘s entirely within reach as of today. The technology exists; what remains is a scaling/economic problem. Apple is pretty good at solving those.
> Great! Finally! Glad you agree with me completely.

I'm pretty sure that I do not agree with you, most certainly we don't reason about these things the same.

Along the way during this conversation I wondered if I'd learn anything about your position. I'm not sure if I did. It seems like you'd rather bully your way through a debate, like with the above statement and many others you have made. Some of the things you said left quite an impression. Personality differences, I guess.
I have a friend like this. She is successful, has an Ivy League degree in engineering and has very high income. But she grew up poor and makes terrible financial decisions. They largely seem outside of her control.

I speculate that growing up in poverty is not the cause of behavior; rather it's the reverse. Her family behaves in particular ways that make them poor and she has inherited those traits, either biologically or environmentally. From talking with her about how her family operates, this seems to be true. They have very low income but buy a new 4K HD TV every year along with trading up their vehicles to new models. They manage everything by an ever expanding debt load collateralized on their house/credit cards. I don't think these behaviors are 'breakable' because they aren't habits. It's almost like they are built into the default mode network.

In situations like this, when you can observe your behavior as something beyond your control, the best bet is to influence your environment rather than your behavior. Put your money beyond your easy reach (401k, IRA, pay down mortgage early etc.)

I personally struggle with eating behavior that is beyond my control. The only way I've been able to successfully control it is to put a lock on my kitchen cabinet that I don't have the combo to. This acts as a big moderator that gets me through the self destructive impulse periods.
How does it compare to something like AWS Polly?

I noticed AWS blogs all have this feature in recent times which is cool.
Your biggest enemy is your present self. It’s also your biggest ally for recognizing your risk of self-defeat and asking for help.

In addition to the advice to use accounts with penalties for early withdrawals, I’d consider if setting a fun money budget would give you a metered amount of “yeah, no one’s perfect” escape valve but then have other accounts that are harder to readily access.

Consider splitting your direct deposit (after 401k deferral) into multiple accounts, some of which you don’t have ready access to. Put $100/check into an emergency fund account, $150/check into a travel or big fun account, $400/check into a house/car repairs account, $X/check to an after-tax Vanguard account, and the rest into your daily usage account.

You’ll have setbacks over the years, just as your grandparents did. But over the long run, there’s never been a 15-year run of negative nominal returns on the broad based US stock averages. Bet with that trend to continue, including there being some 5-year losing periods ahead.

You can do this, it won’t be easy but setting in place a few mechanisms to support, not letting the wheels come off the bus entirely if you skip up a little, and just committing to being better every year than the last probably has positive correlation with an ok outcome.

Since the only reason most people have a satphone is for emergencies, what would pay for the service if emergency calls were free?

This is a really honest comment and my thought reading through it is that there isn't going to be "one quick trick" to help. Your troubles seem multifaceted and not completely about money. Have you considered talking to a therapist?
Bitlocker (enterprise setup) is different, you can backup into AD, and also have network unlock (requires a connection to dc that’s wired)

However I agree, I heavily use iMessage, it’s convenient because when I used signal I didn’t get notifications.

However, Apple has had the decryption keys server side for ages, and I believe the reason they don’t have E2EE is purely because users don’t store their backup keys, and kick off when they loose all their life that’s stored in iCloud, and it’s just not worth the hassle to the support team, my family is the same with 1Password, they don’t backup their secret key thing, so I have to either store it or restore their account.

Bitlocker doesn’t help in this regard either, you can bypass the mandatory saving section by using print to PDF to store the recovery file to the encrypted drive, essentially locking a safe with the key inside.
I see the "we got more things and they got more expensive" point brought up constantly and it still doesn't change my opinion (same as above commenter):

> Fifty years ago that average person would have been able to support a family, buy a house, and not live under the constant threat of bankruptcy from a surprise medical bill.

I want to circle back to this. I read your comment assuming you are arguing that now things are "more" (cost++) this ideal is now less obtainable or unobtainable.

Do you think that the average person (median wage earner) should be able to support themselves in this way? Should we let go of this ideal as "old fashioned"?
I think you have to swim upstream in this, which is to say resist the urge to write systems with complex emergent behavior in the first place. They’re thrilling to write, but even you will get tired of your bullshit at some point and lose interest (often before you figure out why you don’t like working on the code).

I am watching a coworker begin to discover this right now. He’s one of the last standing of a cohort of overconfident loudmouths. It’s been... interesting. No self-awareness so far yet though.
Yes, because satellite phones are not normal service. Both immersat and iridium connect 112 and 911 to their own operator who will then try to contact authorities where you tell them you are. I'm not surprised that this isn't available unless you're on a monthly plan.

Ask HN: Book Suggestions for Relearning Math
Hey, I'm looking for suggestions on a book to help relearn some math.

I went through engineering school and had to take many advanced math classes, but it's been enough years that I've forgotten much of what I had learned. I'm sure it is not all forgotten, it just needs to be reawoken.

I was considering picking up some textbooks, but then I remembered I didn't find them all that helpful back then so that is unlikely to have changed.

Maybe what I'm hoping for doesn't exist, but it would be great to find a book that does a high level overview of lots of different types of math and relates those to some real world scenarios. I've found this grokking algorithms book which has been helpful but I haven't found something analogous for mathematics.

If you know of any good books I would appreciate you sharing it.

My next motherboard will have 8 rgb LEDs on the bottom (vs 6 on old gen). I'd like if these could be colored per CPU core load. Say a dim blue for idle ramping up to bright red for full load.

Which reminds me I need to update the case for 8 lights now that the 5700G is available and worth doing an upgrade to the Mellori_itx.
Not sure, actually – I wouldn‘t be surprised if a helicopter would actually still appear if I‘d press the big red button on mine, but I haven‘t tried.

False alerts are probably a real concern. I had to provide two emergency contacts for the service I‘m using. The operators will call them before dispatching emergency services to catch accidental activations.
With something like a Garmin inReach, the service is turned completely off if you're not subscribed, so even an SOS message wouldn't be transmitted through the satellite
I presume they are cost cutting where they can as material prices have been very high recently. The heat sink seems like a likely candidate where they can save money.
