Have upu considered Google Photos? It meets pretty much all of your criteria with machine vision help there to help search and tag too. I'm invested in the Apple ecosystem and have all my pictures in iCloud, but have recently set Google Photos to sync all my 37K photos for free (if you allow compression) and am very happy with its features.

I did this because our home laptop died and we are now tablet and phone only in the house other than work computers. So my Mac/time Capsule/Backblaze backup strategy was thwarted. I didn't trust iCloud to be the only canonical copy of my photos, so now I'm using Google Photos as a cloud backup for the cloud.

It sort of like how US drones used to broadcast video unencrypted. They didn't bother since they thought the barrier to entry for seeing the feed was too high, until it wasn't.

Along these same lines, Five Thirty Eight had a neat Riddler last week about how to choose the heights of a 3 layer cake to fit under a glass cone:

Now you can get support requests for instapaper too.

Exactly, how many people coming to Montreal would be happy that their kids could only go to school in French?

Question: if "using encrypted chatting applications" is banned, can on use iMessage?

Really sneaky using one's proper name as a username?

This is really cool. Got a share to my friends out there. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of printing service do you hook into?

My company issues standard notebooks to every employee. A manager / former systems engineer retired last week after ~30 years and had 50 or so of these notebooks on his shelf.

I've been going back and forth lately between keeping notes in a Markdown file on a shared drive and using my notebook. The Markdown file is much better for searching and ease of access (I'm on 4 or 5 different computers around the office during a week), but for some unknown reason I keep going back to pencil and paper to sketch things out. When I had to do some light mathematical derivations it was all on paper though.

On a workday, I find that unless I have something specific booked in the morning it'll take me an hour from alarm to out the door. Shower, coffee, breakfast, and some light web reading. I've tried the odd run or workout, but usually fall back into this routine.

Sounds like Billions is not that far off...

I found this episode very interesting, especially the discussion of the long term support contract required by Airbus since SQLite is used on some aircraft.

It's almost like this is working!

Agree with that 100%. Any time I've had to use web/iOS apps for Crave, I've wondered what is up with Bell Media's software people. The TSN app is just as poor, especially compared to what Rogers' Sportsnet app is doing on iOS.

What's wrong with Bell/Saw/Rogers having their own streaming services? I've found Bell's Crave TV to be pretty good, Shomi not as much.

It's probably just Bubbles working away on his carts!

One other thing to consider is the cost of doing defence business. The ITAR is no joke and puts a large amount of process and overhead on development and company operations. If the defence business a small part of your overall revenue, it might just not be worth it to deal with it, especially with defence contracts "drying up".

"software was an integral part of the product, but at the end of the day, what they're making money from is selling hardware, not software."

The funny thing is that this perfectly describes Apple.

Came here to say the same thing. Feel like this guy https://twitter.com/Andrew_Jarvis/status/674028991792070656

There was a really interesting episode of the podcast called White Coat Black Art that generally covers the Canadian health care system. In the recent election a single payer pharamacare system was part of one of the platforms, so the podcast host went to Sweden to see how they do it.

Thanks!

What free course was that?

There is a TED talk by one of the founders with a little bit more detail on what makes their printer different.

"Well said. Advanced math is mostly about working with properties higher up the chain of abstraction, and then seeing what happens when you bring the insights learned up there back down to more concrete examples."

I came here to say the same thing. I went through a lesser known engineering discipline, "Mathematics and Enigneering" [0] and found that the type of thinking one learns doing pure math proofs has served me well in my eventual career in aerospace systems engineering. I find that the thought process in considering a proof as a high level whole/black box or being able to drill down to the finest detail while still keeping the big picture in mind has translated quite well to my day to day traversal up and down the abstraction ladder at work.

Like others have said about this happening to Costco too, this is all because CVS, Costco, Sam’s Club, Walmart Canada, and Rite Aid use PNI Media as a backend for their photo services and PNI seems to have been hacked:

Any part more complicated than a screw or rivet likely has a serial number / part number on it, and if it does, could be traced back to the exact aircraft it was installed on.
