You don't actually lose the EXIF, they just send you in a different format (why would they make it easier right?). There are some programs that can do this sync.

I never understood this "Anything goes Term & Conditions" in the US. Like, can a bank legally put that they can close account without notification in their T&C? Isn't there a regulator that would control these and fin

It is obvious but not easy to measure. And companies act like what is not easy to measure doesn't exist.

That makes 2 of us. My main challenge here is that I have 1.5T of photos in Google Photos and downloading them through takeout is very very cumbersome. I am after a download manager that would help me dowload them directly to Synology, but

The thing is, any human group, company, academia, etc...are influenced by politics, and those who do it well get the attention and the resources. It doesn't matter if they are technically brilliant or not. There is no place where you d

This happens because the cost of developing (or buying) good software and people to build a decent anti-fraud system is very clear to measure and the impact of the false positives is not. Also, as credit card fraud is usually the bank'

Cars are the best example of how decades of usability tests, feedback and research can evolve the UX of the driver tremendously. How many things we do at the car without even looking at the controls (because we need to pay attention to the

Would like to read that conversation, do you have a link? I couldn't find it with my amateur google-fu...

Totally agree on that. But I think this is the natural way for AI business to grow. A) You build a MVP/PoC on top of an existing model to quickly find the value prop and product/market fit - That won't build a moat and won&#x

Is this book any good? I was wondering if I'll learn anything insightful or just inside stories...

As a father I can't even imagine how horrible it would be to lose a child and then being accused of doing it. Also this brings to my mind a recent conversation I had with friends who live in the US (I'm Braziian) on how horrible t

I never understood why Meta didn't buy mastercard/visa as this would give it a greater grip on people's personal data.

I think it is more the question of sites/apps being more layered to tackle different segments. Broadly one segment is the superficial, reptilian brain, one, which are the vast majority of the population. They will crave quick, non-comp

It seems that a Timelinize and Photostructure combo would greatly benefit those trying to escape Google Photos claws. Where can I sign-up for the Beta?

It seems that the article/study does not disagree with your point: > Our results showed that reading for pleasure in early childhood can be beneficial regardless of socioeconomic status. It may also be helpful regardless of the chi

I tried doing a NAS backup (not moving away for Google Photos) using Photostructure (great software, very dedicated developer) but I got stuck on how to take my 1.5TB of photos out of Google Photos. I want to download takeout files (120+ fi

That's a good question. But as this is a way of maintaining social privilege and the people in power are the privileged ones, I imagine there is little effort in actually changing the system. They will say it's terrible etc, but

I hate the word CRM because it means different things for different people. It can be: - Sales Pipeline Software - Customer Service - Marketing campaign automation software (owned media) - Centralized Customer Database If i ask 4 people w

This is just a bait to tell you not to invest in marketing without knowing your customers (which is pretty obvious but many companies just don’t bother taking a good look at their customers.

The author also puts lot’s of faith on the user not doing stupid things: “Is this a thing? Are shared computers without user separation a thing? If so, these shouldn’t be used to access web applications with sensitive information at all, no

The ambiguity in this wording is on purpose, so it will be harder to tell in court (if someone sues them) that they were forbidden or allowed to do any specific thing. They don't detail what any of product usage data is, and you might

That's why I think Hybrid Cloud is where corporations are headed to (which means a mix of Public & Private Clouds and On Prem Servers). You would use your on-prem servers for the core (and predictable) demand, as scaling it takes t

Point #1: This bait-and-switch tactic shouldn't be allowed by consumer regulations (Not in the US, but here in Brazil it would be a no-no) as in the end Amazon is tricking it's use base into paying for the Fire TV as a great deal,

Good writing on the problems, I think it is just missing the "what is the right approach then?" Approach that I've seen working is the divide and conquer: It's similar to the new system next to the old (greenfield) but i
