Does it do background sync on iOS?. There are so many alternatives to Apple Photos, all with this handicap. “Leave the app open for it to sync”

Photos are the only reason I pay for the 2 TB plan on iCloud. I don’t need all the photos on device all the time. If I can _reliably_ stash them in remote servers and have a way to access them on-demand on the phone, I can take the money I give Apple and pay for the app that enables me. But only if I don’t have to remember to open the app every now and then and watch it sync my photos. It needs to be as easy to use as Apple Photos..

How much?

Geez, no? Sanctions work only if the sanctioning entity has power. If the US govt sanctions you, they can tell all banks in the world that if they touch your (virtual) money they'll be sanctioned too. If some podunk dictatorship no one did business with announced "Any bank doing business with xxpor will be barred from working in our country!" then many banks will probably say "Fine, you're a tiny economy that we don't have anyone that does business with a business in your country anyway, so you can take that sanctions and shove it".

Ironically paper money is the way to "escape" sanctions, because anyone around the world knows that that 100 dollar bill can be exchanged for goods and services. And it doesn't even have to involve a bank, just another person who recognizes the value of that paper, in a chain of transactions. Depending on the hassle you may need to pay more..

You can do these in both Delphi and Lazarus, except with a much better GUI framework (comparing GUI only here, not everything you'd get with .NET). If anything having worked with Windows Forms for a while i think it was abandoned before it reached even what you could do in the midlate 90s in Delphi.

For what it's worth this issue is not as big as people generally make it out to be. Everything doesn't need to support everything for communication to be successful.

The XMPP Standards Foundation publish an annual compliance baseline for different categories of XMPP application. There are also projects such as Snikket (disclaimer: I work on this), which remove the confusion entirely.

At the end of the day the solution is not for end users to "use XMPP", but for good products to build on and use XMPP. I wrote on this topic at https://snikket.org/blog/products-vs-protocols/

Abstract spherical cow thought experiments can be difficult and still be abstract spherical cow thought experiments.

What makes this completely irrelevant to anything I care about, is that "many shitty lives" vs. "few high-quality lives" aren't options that exist in a void. Whatever complex worldwide system you're talking about that would put those two choices on the table would have all sorts of massive side effects, and those side effects matter in deciding which is preferable. It's just not useful to discuss it in some hypothetical infinite blank frictionless flat surface where you've arbitrarily decided that having a baby later is murdering the potential baby you might have had earlier. That's not reality and it has no impact or relation to reality.
Not only cars, but domestic and grid level batteries too; due to the high attractiveness of installing PV panels, the Dutch energy grid is under pressure, and the cost of electricity is wildly variable in the course of a day.

I guess so. Virtual environments doesn't solve any of the problems as python authors either don't specify the version or their dependency author doesn't specify it.

The alternative is division which an employer (or group of employers) will take with open arms.

A few points to address in what you're saying.

> It's fair to say Microsoft doesn't have a great track record over the last several decades with security of their flagship OS.

Nope, not fair or accurate at all. Their track record has been great, and it's likely you are judging them for transparency mixed with a reputation from >20 years ago. They have a good record of patching security holes; if we all assumed that more patches = worse security, it would only incentivize companies to be quiet.

As for development, again over the past decade, they've been completely different from the past, and are fully embracing and pushing best practices. As other commenters like to point out, this is not your grandpa's microsoft.

> but in my opinion still nowhere near as bulletproof as it should be).

Assuming that security should be bulletproof is a misunderstanding of how security works.
I'm really happy with immich. It's amazing how well everything works and how feature-complete it is given how relatively young the project is and fast-moving development is going. I self-host an instance and do a nightly backup with duplicati to cloud storage.

The only downside for me is that there's a new release almost every couple of days, with a message that the backend is out of date. Which is both a pro and a con, but for me it's anxiety inducing because there's breaking changes sometimes and you can't just auto-update. A pace like Home Assistant feels more comfortable.

Of course if you could kill demand for this stuff that would be the ideal solution, if nobody uses it then there's no problem at all. But poor mental health and people working a full time job and still needing welfare cheques means this isn't something any politicians will even bother trying to overcome earnestly. Its just absolutely ridiculous that the US population is collapsing without immigration and yet so many people in the US are dying like this. Its like a bad comedy.

And people say "just do it on-prem, it's cheaper than cloud! It's not all that hard." Work like this is impressive as hell, but finding wizards who can do this kind of work is difficult and expensive. I've sat there are poured over hexdumps trying to get it to reveal it's secrets (Kaitai is pretty cool). But this kind of nitty gritty went away with cloud, to be replaced with a different kind of problem, distributed systems. My point is, that's pretty cool, but there's less demand for that kind of work these days, which is unfortunate, because I kind of liked it.

Apple doesn't allow background execution for third party apps. Can't increase service revenue if you allow competition.

You say you don't want to understand infrastructure and just want a button that magically deploys your app, yet in the same breath you complain that devops folks are "working on infrastructure and platform development for it's own sake". These are contradictory sentiments.

"Leaking" infrastructure details to developers is actually less work for them because they are deferring the finer details of the app deployment to the developers who made it. Your request for a magic button that doesn't require you to understand anything about infrastructure is exactly why we have so much complexity.
It's overcapacity if producers are forced to sell at a loss to move inventory.

Typically, when you can buy a desirable electric car at 15-20K, that suggests a desirable electric car can be made for less than 15-20K, but with overcapacity, it could very well be that it cost 10K more to produce and the manufacturer is only selling it to turn a 25K-30K loss into a 10K loss.

Of course from a consumer perspective there can never be too much capacity and any drop in price is good, but the question is whether that is sustainable for producers, or whether we'll see factory closures down the line as the least profitable ones run out of money and have to shut down.

Okay, so then what exactly is your objection to me saying that what Parfit said was stupid?

Again, I'm not anti-intellectual. I'm anti calling this nonsense intellectual.

> the SEP is a world-class encyclopedia of reputable scholars

That's just an appeal to authority[1]. A group of philosophers patting each other on the back can all be wrong. Ideas get evaluated by their logic and evidence, not by the reputation of who said them.

There are plenty of philosophers I respect. Darwin, Chomsky, or Orwell, for examples. But I respect them based on the ideas they came up with (which doesn't mean I always agree). I haven't read any Parfit besides what you've posted, but nothing there warrants any respect.

There are plenty of other "reputable" philosophers who deserve no respect. "If everyone was a philosopher, there would be no farmers and we would starve to death; therefore being a philosopher is wrong." Sound familiar? Why is no philosopher talking about how stupid that idea is?

> that have thought about this much more than you have.

I really do not know why you think that "thinking about something a lot" matters. A program that runs for a long time and then spits out the wrong answer is not a good program.

> Try reading a paper sometime.

I read 3 papers in the last week. Each of them contained data which tied their conclusions to reality.

Try reading a paper critically sometime.

Adding a mechanism for dependencies which kind of sometimes sort of works but doesn't actually work is much much worse than just not implementing anything at all as you are much less likely to get anyone too put in the work required to do the hard thing they need to do for it to actually work.
You're talking about corporations manipulating media ("the particular media being pushed") to discourage people having children. I'm talking about the pushing you referred to.

Even beside that I don't see how that works even from an incentive point of view. Lots of corporations sell things to children, or to parents for their children. There are huge swathes of industries organised around that. How is it to the benefit of companies to have fewer customers?
I'd say that this isn't an "overhaul", they didn't redesign everything just to make it different, they refined and optimized pretty much every part of the DE to make it more power efficient (QT6, KRunner), more visually pleasing and consistent (Breeze theme), more featureful (HDR support), and of course more stable (countless bug fixes)

> No, living on minimum wage doing shitwork is not the same as high paid pampered worker.

Where do you see that these union members are "high paid pampered workers" who are "delicate snowflakes with countless perks and baristas at their service"?

At https://www.alphabetworkersunion.org/press/youtube-music-con... I read

"We are so proud to stand together to demand that our employers give us the basic dignity of a living wage, so that we can continue to enjoy living and working in our community that has become nearly impossible to afford–due in part to big technology companies relocating their headquarters here."

I don't think high paid pampered workers would call for a living wage, so I don't think you are talking about these employees.

At https://www.alphabetworkersunion.org/press/youtube-music-wor... I read complaints about "Google and Cognizant’s unlawful refusal to bargain."

You can't really believe that if you employer pays you well that means you employer gets to break the law, do you?

It also points out

"Currently, 10% of the YouTube Music Content Operations Team has COVID. Yet, in the midst of this outbreak, Cognizant and Google are denying workers access to COVID tests, paid COVID leave or even the flexibility to safely work from home. This is counter to the policies Google sets for its main office buildings."

suggesting that your views about how Google employees are treated aren't relevant to these union members, who are treated different than the highly-paid engineers at the Googleplex.

Life is so bad for so many Americans that cheap escapism with a high chance of death is worthwhile. Thats the problem in my opinion because these people are creating demand for something nobody should want in the first place.
Hey, Ente's CEO here.

We had opensourced our server[1] yesterday, which is perhaps why we are on the front page. Stoked to be here

Ente had launched on HN[2] a while ago and has been sustainably growing since.

We took the feedback from our Show HN seriously and have since

- undergone a cryptography audit [3]

- published our replication strategy [4]

- added requested features (family plans, collaborative albums and links, ...) [5][6][7]

- made progress with Edge ML [8][9]

- built a CLI for incremental data exports (our desktop app supports this as well) [10]

- and in general matured as a company [11]

Also, apart from our source code, our Figma[12] is public as well.

If you've feedback on what we could do better, please do share, it'd be very helpful.

And if you've any questions, do ask, I'd love to make myself useful.

I think what you say about downvotes is true. Eg a comment will be popular one minute, and then suddenly it's not. I also get the issue that my overall karma goes down, while recent comment values stay the same - which could be malicious downvoting of historical comments. So, I think something odd goes on. I comment a lot, generally thoughtful comments, and yet my total karma over the past year is way down.

I'm interested to hear what you think it could be. As users we have no visibility of downvotes, who gave them etc. You say bots or people - do you have any reason for thinking this? I'm interested to hear more info, if you have any thoughts.
I'm looking forward to trying our the self-hosted option, but I will say the transparency they've provided to their reliability model for hosted is awesome.

Compare this to the approach of CSP's, their model is mostly around "trust me bro", and even on enterprise/commercial terms the transparency they provide is poor. I would love to see this sort of transparency by service providers in the future.

> It is 100% worth the extra $ if you plan on subscribing for a loong time anyway

I think many people forget about this. They pay for a monthly or yearly cloud storage subscription, but forget they have to pay this amount every year for the rest of their lifes if they want to keep their data. That's why I also use a Synology disk. I also have an additional lifetime subscription at a cloud storage provider (which pays back within 3.5 years). Sure they can disappear after say 10 years, but at least I have the Synology and I got a much better deal during those 10 years and can look for something else.

Documentation is far from perfect for anything remotely sophisticated.

One often runs into issues with a third-party library that comes down to not understanding what's going on under the hood. In cases like this, it's really helpful to be able to look at the source and see what the issue is, you can also (in some cases) track PRs that address issues you are encountering.

I've found this numerous times with paid third party deps.
