Love the idea, sounds like a lot of hard work has gone into it already. I have been looking for this kind of thing to replace Google Photos. I checked out the website and couldn't find enough about the app's usability. So, I downloaded the (android) app hoping for some kind of demo or further insight into the UX but it's asking me to sign up or login. I guess I'll sign up anyway because I'm curious, but I'd have preferred a demo of the app first, especially since I really love the UX of Google Photos which is one of the main reasons prolonging my desire to replace it
In Germany FFP2 masks have been required in most places which require masks for many months. They make a huge difference in tight spaces. I can't really imagine not using a FFP2 mask where I would wear a mask in the first place.
Except the size of the antenna!
I don't think the problem is with the number of samples. You're not trying to identify the culprit (automatically) among many potential suspects. You're doing what is basic scientific research: you're using all the data you have to try to _disprove_ that he's that guy - which you can do with near 100% certainty. Any missing feature can clear him. After a certain amount of effort you give up.

Which means the trust you have in the team is a lot more important than the size of the dataset.

I don't know how checks and balances would look here. Maybe make available each analysis to the defendant and let him/his team check it out?

Like another commenter said in this thread, some people were convicted on DNA evidence of a hair that wasn't even human. A larger sample won't fix that.
I'd be fairly flexible here.

It doesn't need to be a full 6 months every single year , some years might be a bit longer , etc.

A question - in the sample dictation on the site, it adds a voice annotation for "features" and "pricing categories". These weren't encoded in the HTML. How does it figure that?
That's just because you use the word "exact", though. Exactitude doesn't exist in the universe as we understand it.

There's a difference between something not being instantiated in this universe and being unscientific, though.

If we produce a model of the universe that doesn't make a single incorrect prediction given all data available, and it predicts infinities to exist in some strange but quite real cases, is it unscientific?
I submitted this comment on ProductHunt too but I wanted to make sure you see it:

Looks great but FYI there's a long-standing healthcare company that's been in business for over a decade with various speech products/features named "Vocera"[0]. I'm not a lawyer but they have many trademarks on Vocera and the standard is generally "likely to cause confusion". You're probably well in that territory with a speech product that sounds almost identical and is one letter off. When Googling "voicera" Google replaces/suggests "Vocera". There's a pretty decent chance you'll be hearing from them.

This guy seems to be conflating “how to get rich/create wealth” with “how to not behave like a child financially”. Basically only four groups of people get richer 1) business owners, 2) people at the apex of a profession (professional sports/media/actors, partners at banks/law firms/consultancies, etc. 3) a subset of investors (this is where some FIRE types focus). 4) inherit/marry wealth

Most personal financial advice is not focused on getting rich, it’s how to improve your financial health.
You don't want to extract it. The intention is that the specification (the thing you code against, you do write those down, right?) is separate from implementation so that you can provide multiple implementations.

If you rely on extracting the interface from the implementation then you have to have another mechanism to compare two implementations to see if they provide the same interface. That's kind of an insane way to do things from the Ada perspective. You've made things harder for yourself and less certain for the users of that interface.

Put the public bits into a package specification file so that anyone can know as the user or the implementer what is expected. Swap out implementations as needed and have high confidence that (short of logic errors in the implementation) it will at least provide the same interface because, well, it wouldn't compile otherwise.

Also, the specification files are a bit like C or C++ headers. You can write a program predicated on their correctness without actually needing an implementation to verify against. The *.ads files tell you "These functions, procedures, and types exist. I promise, so you can go about your business even though an implementation may not be available yet.

When I saw the headline my first thought was “are those the European gps satellites?"

It’s not - they’re called Galileo - but it made me think: do modern gps devices only connect to the American GPS satellites or has gps become a catch-all phrase for all the different systems and do iPhone read location from both?

Computers should be noisier is an interesting take.

Why sound? why not just a.. oh idk. disk access light? Maybe add other little leds for other stuff?

The read is interesting, but I'm still puzzled why would anyone on their right mind redirect stderr to /dev/null.

I mean, I can eventually get redirecting stdout to /dev/null, but not having logs from stderr anywhere is asking for troubles... I guess.
A lot of these points are reasons why I like the Mr Money Mustache approach to financial independence.

You can be "rich" by having the freedom to spend your time on what you want, and appreciating the cornucopia of luxuries that make up a typical American middle class life.

You can get there by living (happily!) on a lot less than 100% of what you make, and saving the rest. With some simplifying assumptions about investment returns, the actual dollar amount a person makes doesn't matter; it's just the fraction of their net income that they need to maintain their lifestyle that informs how long until retirement. E.g. if you can save 50% of your income, you can retire in 17 years. https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/01/13/the-shockingly-si...
yes 1000%. I remember my first impression of automatic updates was to feel profoundly out of control; software could now change itself without anyone even knowing. The transition to broadband was cool as I could pirate enough music to fill up my hard drive, but also profoundly unsafe: other things could come down that pipe.

Making the invisible processes of change and exfiltration legible to humans, even only as background noise, would humanize these awful OSes in a big way.

I consider myself rich, I work for someone else, and I don't have a side hustle.

I read Mr. Money Mustache's blog frequently when I was young; he has an important addition to what many of the mainstream personal finance books address. Being rich is more about freedom and personal happiness than it is having a lot of money. For many people, adjusting to slightly less nice but more affordable things is significantly easier than increasing their income by that same amount. Furthermore, every dollar you adjust to not needing is better than adding income - it compounds even faster because it goes into retirement with you and reduces your target savings amount.

But, going back to the post there are a _lot_ of people in the US and around the world that don't have the income required to have any sort of savings, even after adjusting down their lifestyle. This is a systemic but tractable problem. The solution isn't "get a side hustle" it's "the full time minimum wage should support a reasonable life".
Challenge accepted!

I found myself in a monthly meeting of 12 or so (Unnamed FANG) managers where they would curate a collection of 3,000-5,000 bugs / issues / feature requests.

It was almost entirely the same collection of old, stale bullshit that no one was ever going to work on.

The meeting started with recently added items, and those were usually digested within minutes.

The rest of the old items were just waste.

This meeting sometimes took a full day. It took enormous amounts of time and energy to review and re-review and debate and re-debate, and with every new contributor, all the old discussions had to be repeated for many of these items.

100% of this effort was waste.

In contrast, our team carried zero open defects. We agreed to either fix or honestly reject defects immediately. We experienced none of this waste and on the handful of occasions where we inappropriately rejected an important defect, it became clear very quickly and we fixed it.

Put the things you want to do someday in some other tool.

I think this is a pretty good article, though I'd think that most financial gurus aren't trying to lie, they're just trying to give advice that's feasible for a mass audience to try and learn.

To give an example; the article mentions Dave Ramsey talking down to his callers and giving generic advice such as cutting up your credit cards. I don't follow Ramsey too closely and can't read his mind, but I'd bet he's optimizing his advice for the least common denominator within a mass audience of financially troubled people. A small percentage of financially desperate people would hear great advice about credit cards (only use cards to buy stuff you have 100% of the cash for, and pay them back instantly to get some cash and rewards back) and not internalize that as something like (it's okay to keep using my card because I'm getting money back as long as I try and pay my bill every month). For a mass audience, the safest advice on credit cards that might make an impact is to just tell everybody with a financial problem to stop using them. On an individual level, a financial expert can probably give better advice that's more suitable.

If I had to give 1 bit of general financial advice though: develop your talent stack. It doesn't matter if it's learning a new programming language, wood-working, learning to fix cars or toilets, taking a foreign language class, learning how to paint, or growing a great garden. If you have multiple skills you have more opportunities to make money as well as combining those skills in unique ways to create new business ideas and concepts. And baring some health issue, nobody can ever take a skill away from you.
You’ll never get rich unless you start a business. Oh by the way, lucky you, I happen to be selling tips for making millions off a blog (just click this sponsored link. I made $6M with mine, I swear).

It‘s perfectly normal to use words like „and“ and still make an argument. This is done all the time in articles, it‘s not math but language. There was an assertion, then another assertion and then an example related (but not equal) to the first assertion. Sandwiching things like that can at best be called misleading, but I stand by my understanding which is that a connection between language and xenophobia was made. Other replies by the same person inside this thread confirm this as well („Germans that know English refusing to speak to people that only know English and Pashto is xenophobic.“) So he made a connection between language and xenophobia. Can we agree on this basic fact?
> "no matter how many you add together", is where this argument breaks down

Interpret it as "adding more points will not necessarily increase the volume, no matter how many points you add". There are plenty of measure-0 sets containing as many points as the continuum does.

Also, if you are so inclined, check if you can replace your habit of trawling Amazon for stuff to buy with trawling Amazon looking for stuff to buy in the future. Personally, looking forward to buying the thing is at least 60% of the enjoyment.

Anyway, try seeing a psychotherapist. Someone serious with a degree. Your money problems seem to be at least partially learned, so they can be unlearned.
I'm not 'tortured by temptation'. I'm not a ticking time bomb waiting to go off.

Is this what people see us as? That we're a constant threat that needs to be managed?

I don't need to take possibly dangerous medication to kill my libido, because I can satisfy my libido through furry cub porn and having sex with adults.

Yes, it pisses me off sometimes that I can't have sex with people I'm actually attracted to. But in truth, being a pedophile doesn't really affect my day to day life. In fact, usually I only think about it when some asshole talks about how "all peodphiles deserve the death penalty" or when some article comes up talking about "pedophiles" (not child molesters mind you) in the context of crime.

You know all my friends in real life and online know I'm a pedophile. My family too. They aren't perverts. They're normal, sometimes religious, mostly straight people. They just know me and know I'm not a threat to anyone.

It's not even a secret, I just don't talk about it all the time, on account of having interests outside of being a pedophile.

Let me tell you something, that I really want you to consider: If you think you don't know any pedophiles, you're almost certainly wrong. One thing I've realized by being mostly public about it is that some of the most unexpected people from my life have come up to me and admitted that they're partially or exclusively attracted to children, but they don't want to tell anyone for fear of retaliation, or being grouped into a box as 'dangerous'. I mean, Jesus, look at Inkbunny, you really think attraction to minors isn't popular?

Unfortunately many people discover I'm a pedophile and that's all they see. They ignore the other aspects of me: That I'm a writer and an artist, a skilled programmer, that I try to be honest and live my life ethically. That I've got opinions and hopes and dreams and plans for my life that have absolutely nothing to do with my sexual orientation.

But instead apparently I'm dangerously mentally ill because I've realized that kids can be sexy. Sometimes I see it as a blessing though. The really interesting people to get to know are the ones who can see past that. Because of this, all my friends are really interesting people.

But I think people would be less likely to do that if they could put on special glasses and see everyone's sexual orientation floating above their heads. They'd be less likely to demonize minor attracted persons if they realized they were talking about their siblings or loved ones. Their friends or coworkers. The people they meet on the street.

Because you are. We're everywhere. You just don't realize it all the time, because most of us aren't monsters.

My username is fucking awesome by the way.
APFEAL.

Especially finance advice given to low-income people is just horrible. Like starting a savings account is a great way to lose all your money to fees when you need to withdraw everything in an emergency.
> A point has no volume so no matter how many you add together you don't get something with a volume

Not true. If you add uncountably many infinitesimal objects they can add up to noninfinitesimal object, that's how integration works in math, it's pretty confusing cause there's many kinds of infinity and they allow some unintuitive things to happen, but if they didn't worked we couldn't move (see Zeno paradox).

Banach-Tarski is formally correct, you add a finite number of sets with uncountably many points in each so you can get something with volume (depending on how they are positioned).

And yes - a line in math is just a set of points, same with a sphere (but it has 0 volume cause a sphere is just the "skin" without the insides) and a ball (which is what Banach-Tarski talks about). In fact every geometric object is just a set of points.
You so fake woke.
This may be true, but to be fair...

50 years ago, 70 years ago, an enormous series of treatments we now have, did not exist.

And even disease treatment options, even knowing how some diseases worked? Nope.

So medical care was less costly, because, there was literally less to be done. And people died at home more often too, as a result.

So naturally medical care was less costly.

And housing, the average family did not have a ginormous, 6000sq foot house. Try 1000 sq foot, 1500 sq foot as a norm.

So sure, less cost.

Same with all these fancy dodads.

Yes, 100% housing is more expensive due to low rate mortgages, and other reasons.

But in non-crazy priced locations, you can still build a small 150k, 250k house with land all in.

Some of it is indeed changing wages vs costs, but some is "more" vs wage.
It's definitely high quality. I guess I'm just jaded about being a loser.

> Is the average business owner any better off?

Obviously anecdotal, but not really IMO. I've bounced back and forth between being in business for myself and working for the man.

Between healthcare, saving for retirement, etc. things are really optimized against someone "pulling themselves up by the bootstraps" in this way. I've listened to the politicians in the US scream how important small business only to vote against that very interest (tax cuts for rich + corporate tax breaks).

I can't get good healthcare unless it's tied to my employment here. The healthcare I get independently is of lower quality for much, much more money out of pocket... Lord help you if you do something stupid and show a profit on your books... etc etc... The first 2-3 rungs of the "small business owner" ladder are missing by design.

If I had a family I would likely never consider being a business owner again due to the health implications, financial risk, and time commitment.

100% the average working Joe is better off.
Pretty sure it’s meant to be taken sarcastically.
If I recall correctly "ente" has a pleasant meaning in Portuguese. Google Translate says it means "loved" but I feel like my paperback dictionary said something else...

I'm not sure if you'll see this reply since it's been several days, but I appreciate the answer. I majored in math, but I never stumbled on the Lebesgue integral, and I don't know enough quantum to understand the subtlety there either. I'll have to take your word for it that L2 spaces don't work with just computable numbers, but I can't see why yet. All of that to say, I'm just admitting my ignorance and not arguing at all.

Still, I think it's interesting that if Reals are truly needed to model the universe (physics), then there must be some case where computables are insufficient. And if the universe isn't computable, that says something amusing and deep about determinism and whether we can ever succeed in modelling it. :-)
That's just a non-binding promise. If that's enough for you, you don't need encryption at all.
Yes, but laying it out can help the point.
I think for some people it's just their way of saying "not me."

And others probably read it as "I can't wait to get everyone I work with back in the office" whether intended in that spirit or not. I do think some will be disappointed by what "the office" looks and feels like at many places post-pandemic.
I was faced with this sort of issue yesterday - 1 file per instance of user state in some directory. After a year of typical usage we would be well into 7 figure file count. I had concerns that Windows would potentially choke on this in bad ways in production.

My solution was to use a nested directory approach where each could contain up to 4096 files or other directories. A path for the first 3 items in the sequence would look like:

/0/0/0/0.item
/0/0/0/1.item
/0/0/0/2.item

The 4096th & 4097th identities would live at:

/0/0/0/4095.item
/0/0/1/0.item

Implementing the path scheme is a series of trivial bitmasks (0xFFF) over the identity of each.

The only thing I don't like about this is the lock around ensuring the directory exists, but its not in an especially hot path. Updates to existing items are where things get tight for us, not on creation.

Reference counting has completely different properties than other forms of automatic garbage collection. In particular, reference counting still requires some amount of ownership tracking, whereas this concept just doesn't exist (for memory resources) with tracing garbage collection.

This is particularly relevant for certain algorithm, such as atomic initialization, that get significantly more complex with in-line ownership tracking.
Hey, sorry that the 1Password prompt did now pop up. We'll look into this.

Regarding the lack of option for backing up individual files, currently that option exists only on iOS since the OS provides users with an option to grant permission to a few files instead of their entire gallery.

There are two ways to work around this on Android right now:

1. Share a file from outside the app to ente.

2. Skip the folder selection, choose the file you want to backup from your device folder, and add it to an album (you will be prompted to create an album if none exist).
This argument that unions somehow "artificially" increase prices doesn't hold water for a second under scrutiny.

In a free market you can see unions as an actor who sells labor. They're not opposed to a free market at all - they merely even the playing field at the negotiating table and generally make the process smoother.

You only have a problem when unions achieve a monopoly position and abuse it - same as with any other kind of actor in a free market.
