> But the entirety of extant literature in Greek and Latin through to, say, the Late Empire is probably enough to fill a single small bookstore.

This is the entirety of extant Greek/Latin literature, with a full English translation: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f4/1f/1e/f41f1eeffc2127a467df... (citing https://acoup.blog/2021/03/26/fireside-friday-march-26-2021-...). It's not so much a "single small bookstore" as it is "a large bookshelf".
Have you reached out to the author? Since you have the best app maybe he would want to make you the "official app" for a revenue share. And his promotion of your app could grow the pie big enough that you make more even with a split.
The Derecho destroyed 2/3 of the trees in the affected area. By definition, it was a uniquely bad experience as no future storm could cause that much tree damage (well, in decades if enough regrow.) Planning for a repeat seems like a mistake based on a traumatic experience with an outlier.
Awesome, I've been using kagi for a couple months now, and it's been awesome! I love thee ability to open internet archive quickly or bump the ranking of certain sites.
I am still a little confused about the pricing situation though. As I understand you guys plan to offer "free with limited usage" and a paid 10$/month unlimited use plan. But I can't seem to find any information on what the "limits" are? I do not have any insights on how much running a search engine costs, but 10$ a month seems quite high for most users. I really like the flat pricing model though.

Another issue I feel like that largely goes unnoticed is, privacy in incognito mode, if I use kagi in incognito, all my searches are associated with my "account", even worse for some people their payment information!, which is something I'm just not comfortable with.

EDIT:

So I thought about it a little, and I'd say 10$ a month is probably worth it (to me)! Just for the features and search result quality. Considering how much of a value a search engine has in my life. I was initially skeptical if it would cost them THAT much. But I see it from a different perspective now.

I would still not use Kagi for private searches though, and that's just me. Privacy is something I would rather trust someone without my full name with, that just my opinion though.

I would add that once you start using catch-all, you are forever limited to self-hosting or using an email provider that supports it, unless and until you want to leave behind all the individual addresses or go around updating your info everywhere.

I did catch-all for decades. I honestly wasn’t getting any benefit from it that I couldn’t get in some other way, better.

It doesn’t solve spam, so I still need anti-spam tools. Spam still comes to my main address anyway, so it doesn’t keep spam out of that account. Smart mailboxes give me more powerful tools for organizing things according to more refined criteria than just “to.” Knowing when sites leak my address isn’t especially valuable to me personally. In the end, the address I give out is sort of irrelevant. I may as well just be using my main address for everything. Which is what I’ve started doing.

Yet I’m still saddled with all these catch-all-dependent email addresses. I have a huge Swiss-cheese email perimeter, more or less forever.

It won’t be easy or fun to unwind all that, and I’m not sure I’d ever be able to do so completely. It’s the worst of both worlds.

If I could go back in time, I would tell myself the only way to win is not to play.

No affiliation, but when I was into gamedev a few years back, the "game dev league" discord was really amazing. There were a ton of knowledgable people in there, like fholm (who I think was the creator of Photon Bolt)
It isn't the solution :)
Yeah, PR (and TX and CA) seem to have poor power grids.

PR (and parts of TX) at least have the excuse of hurricanes. Although TX failing because of the unexpected people turning on their ACs in the summer is a bit much.
Sprint 3G CDMA Cellular Network Shutdown (SDR View)
I agree it was a fluke, and I'm confident it was a significantly -EV play - but that doesn't mean it wasn't a good play or even the best available play
design manager for a toy brand, bounced around a little in the company.

the job itself is fun but the most consistent ingredients for satisfaction (other than compensation) have been: flexibility in projects to choose from, autonomy/lack of micromanagement(!), time flexibility, having a boss I respect or at least tolerate positively, and emotionally mature team members. It's been a pretty obvious 1:1 in change of happiness when one or more of those elements change, and I tend to correct it in a hurry.
It’s not a mistake when you are lying. They were lying.
Yes, a coastal region that could be exposed to hurricanes would be an area with natural disasters. And Superstorm Sandy was, IIRC, a hurricane that went so far north because of global warming.

Looks really fun! Any hope of multiplayer (even just LAN) coming soon? My son and I can easily waste a weekend on the couch playing Factorio together. This could be another bonding/time waster for us.
Well, does he?
Or you could just randomly put it all on a horse or a greyhound.

No less asymmetrical, greater odds of success, and less rigged against you most likely.
I have to imagine that this is just because you cannot pay someone to be to truly passionate about what they are doing.

And the VRChat devs actually play their own game, I find it highly unlikely that you could even remotely say the same about Horizon's devs.
Rick Beato claims that there are thousands of unreleased albums where the artist couldn't afford distribution. Or, the artist couldn't afford to pay the engineer or producer and the master is held hostage, waiting for a payment that will never happen. (The engineer/producer doesn't own the copyright so they can't release it on their own.)
Qualcomm sucks hard. Binary blobs, no mainline drivers for some modems, Shitty NDAs. No documentation.
This all sounds great... If it worked. VR has been around since the 90s with impressive demos which fail to captivate audiences for one reason or another.

In terms of tangible results, Meta may as well have pivoted to autonomous vehicles. The only way this pivot makes sense would be if they had actually delivered a headset people wanted.

Musk has been described by his former partner as someone who lives "below the poverty line" - do you know musk better than his ex-girlfriend?

He reportedly works 120h/wk regularly. Do you spend that many hours working? I certainly don't and I would never describe someone who did as "living a lavish lifestyle".

As for the allegations, I don't know how that pertains to him living a lavish lifestyle as literally anyone at any income bracket can both commit crimes and/or have crimes alleged against them and seems to only serve as your point of trying to defame musk for whatever reason.

Lastly, you didn't even address the main point, which is that being a billionaire does not make you "suck".
I mean, sure, as long as you replace "factory" with "mansion".
Opposite experience for me. I barely know anyone who uses FB marketplace, FB groups, or messenger. The only use case for Messenger is keeping in touch with "old people" who used it with me 10-15 years ago. That's like 2-3 people who are left and haven't moved off yet

In my experience, the FB ecosystem, other than Instagram and WhatsApp, is totally irrelevant to the younger generation.

If FB didn't own Instagram and WhatsApp I think it'd be dying in the next few years. These acquisitions are IMO what's keeping it relevant.
I think as far as operational capabilities go, all BPI stuff is just not there (at least from public info) and at best, starlink would only be good a large scale detection, target aquisition and tracking:

[0]"While boost-phase defense has been advocated as the most efficient way to deal with fractionated payloads and exoatmospheric (midcourse) penetration aids, it is extremely sensitive to assumptions about threat booster characteristics. Over time, boost-phase defense tends to be renamed ascent-phase defense when the kinematic realities set in. In fact, ascent-phase defense is code for engagement in the postboost or early midcourse phases of flight.

The limitations and complications of a surface-based boost-phase defense lie primarily in the concepts of operations (CONOPS), policy, time, and geography. Since the timelines for engagement in the boost-phase are extremely short, the on-site commander must have authorization from the National Command Authority to launch an interceptor immediately after a threat missile has been detected.1 Also, access must be gained to countries adjacent to the threat country in order to position a boost-phase system close enough, and at the correct geometries, to successfully engage the threat missile. Finally, boost-phase systems are only effective against countries that do not have large enough landmasses to allow them to launch missiles from deep within their territory.

The airborne laser is designed to deliver energy at the speed of light to perform the boost-phase intercept mission. Space-based lasers were also pursued in the past. Virtually no fly-out time is involved, and the beam agility is a function only of how fast the pointing optics can be repositioned. While laser weapons sound like the obvious answer, the energy that a laser can deliver on a target is limited by the power available and the aperture of the device. Atmospheric effects disturb the beam. Much has been accomplished in advancing the pointing and tracking capabilities and the adaptive optics to maintain beam quality, but some fundamental limitations remain."

> The government likes all this tracking and spying.

I agree, and some companies like collecting it and enjoy being paid to hand it over to the state. I don't think that makes it impossible to outlaw this stuff, but it does make it much harder. We'll likely need a number of reforms around elections and bribery to get people in office who will represent our interests but however difficult they've made it so far (and they've been refining their techniques for centuries), it is still possible to elect a person of our choosing.

> It's still possible to live without a cell phone at all.

Not without considerable difficulty though. I put it off for about a decade or so after flip phones were replaced by smart phones until eventually my family insisted on my having one out of concern. They even bought the damned thing for me. I'm still conflicted about owning it. Even at that time it was growing more troublesome to function without one though since many businesses were offering services exclusively over their apps.

Like I said though, not having a phone won't spare you. There is an ever-growing list of ways to collect and track your activity both online and offline which don't depend on cell phones or apps. Ultimately, we're either going to have to insist on the kind of regulations we need to be protected or we'll have to resign ourselves to abuses enabled by the data collection going on.

Too pedantic - still obviously something interesting going on here and I don't find myself convinced otherwise just because the original claim isn't as clean as initially presented.
I have a couple too:

Panicked phone call from a jeweller who wanted to know how and why '[their] domain was in my email address'; think he sort of understood once I explained, but still said something like 'can't be too careful in this business' - well sure ok but what am I going to do with.. oh nevermind!

Password lockout/reset over the phone, reading my 100ch 'memorable phrase' as generated by pass... Gave the guy a good chuckle, and no he was not willing to concede by the umpteenth 'upper case A' or 'backward slash' that I obviously 'knew' the phrase and could surely be relieved from reciting the entire thing... I use shorter ones now.

It's a question of definitions. What is defined as "being rich"? How many people does the definition apply to?

There are as many opinions that state that the world is getting poorer, not richer.

How many people of today can employ one or more servants in the home? How many people of yesteryear could afford to have those servants such as a butler, or a cook, or a laundress, or a maid?
> There's no asset I can think of with this potential upside on such small timescales.

First off i don't understand how this 10-30k number is physically or culturally possible. ( i admit my tired brain thought million first - confusing british/roman systems! )

Also having read sporadically through various dzogchen texts on "dream yoga" which is an older mapping and superset of what we today call lucid dreaming i'm positive that there could be an incredible amount of "useful knowledge" of various "weirder" aspects and concepts of consciousness and dreams waiting for us in some of those texts.

Exciting!
I visited mountain view, and they had a display in the foyer, which was like a word-cloud summation over search.

Lets just say that search companies know what you look for. The question stands, about how strongly individuals can "see" it, but I put it to you that if a senior engineer can ask the abstract question "can you send me the names via a recruiter of anyone who looks for parallel programming in GO, we need the skills" it does not mean your query was looked at by eyeballs, by that engineer. A machine did it, and fed the results to the recruiter and the engineer.

If the engineer said "and who doesn't have a daytime porn habit" I guess you get to the meat in the sandwich.
That's what I said. Risk aversion can (and often does) change. Some preferences don't (and can't) though.
It feels to me like there is no way to "improve" short of blindly guessing synonyms. The space feels like concentric circles, where two words with similar word2vec scores move along the circumference rather than normal or even tangential.
No, yeah, I considered that also, as well as MTTs. Very possible that it would have been higher EV, but I think my risk of wiping out would have been higher. With crypto, even if the bubble had burst before I thought it would, I still would have been able to recover some portion of my $5k, and/or would have been able to hold on to the coins until the next bubble
Huh. AIM wasn't able to do asynchronous, right? Maybe I'm showing my age, haha.
> But why didn't they include psilocybin or other psychedelics in this decriminalization? It is because they are defacto decriminalized already due to this policing decision?

Because a) they contribute to very little of the problems this move is focussed on, b) there are a lot of psychedelics, and any additional drugs included in this policy probably added to the risk of it not being approved, and possibly c) not wanting to run the risk of having some kind of psychedelic incident that the media run with as a scare story, because "Doctor's daughter jumps out of a window on acid" will trump any number of "Petty crime, burglary and muggings are down 40% from last year" stories.
I don't think there's a way for you to make your case without being dismissive of others use cases, like I've pointed out before, and like you're doing now.

For example, your post contains no meaningful suggestions for the person in the article, you just essentially say their use case isn't important and is really just a social media addiction, so I guess they should just get over it?

> What was wrong with what we had before? That is, cohesive, in-person communities.

If you have some suggestions there which would help the person in the article with their use cases, please share. Like, which specific communities exist where they live, for the same purpose, with the same friends, and without a social media presence?

Note that a lot of those in-person communities organize and communicate over social media, so you'll have to exclude those as alternatives.
Plus the scams. There are tonnes and tonnes of them that get reported to us every day. I'm not sure what Facebook are doing to combat it, but it's clearly not working.
The question is, will the Communist Party decide to go along, which I doubt?
I've visited a very advanced tomato greenhouse. They have a heliostatic solar field and tower that provides heating for the greenhouses plus fans for cooling, and desalinates water to irrigate.

The tomatoes grow in their substrate on top of big cooling/heating pipes that can be easily regulated. There's automated ventilation at the top of the greenhouses. They release wasps inside the greenhouse to control pests. Through summer, they spray the greenhouses with a chalky material to block some of the light.

Picking carts can self-drive themselves via guiding tracks embedded in the concrete flooring. It's all very clever, the plants are insanely productive and the produce tasted good to me.

Meanwhile my homegrown tomatoes are a constant battle on every front (heat, water, pests, etc).
I still don't understand how these various standardisation bodies, with there FRAND "requirements", don't have mandatory terms that basically say "any attempt to require non-FRAND terms for any IP shall result in all relevant IP from that company being relicensed as free for the relevant standards". Toss in wording for mandatory bundling nonsense, etc.

It seems like the lack of penalties for abusing IP you agreed to provide on FRAND terms means that there is no penalties for this kind of behavior - worst case scenario you get pushed back to what you had originally agreed to anyway. Making it so being caught violating your agreement meant that you permanently lose all your future IP revenue as well seems like the only thing that would ever cause any change in behaviour.
I'm enjoying this mini thread about who goes to where for coffee.

In Ottawa, we have many choices. I just went to Tim's because it was the closest. Ideally, I go to Happy Goat, or Bridgehead (which was purchased by Second cup). Starbucks and Tim Hortons are at the my bottom of the list.

At the end of the day, I just go where it's convenient. It doesn't help that at the end of my street there's a Tim Horton, which is where I used the app.

Author baselessly predicts all other publishers will die out and Amazon will be the only option. Ironically, their article supports the opposite: presumably other publishers will continue to be successful specifically because of issues like this with Amazon KDP.
