This is interesting because of Google's suite of consumer products. Imagine being able to run logic via events which get triggered when you receive an email, a file is added to drive or someone is detected in a photo. Not that I care t

There are 2 sides to the transaction and it comes down to margins. If the margins don't exist to pay Harrison Ford $40M then either he takes less $ or another actor is found.

Thanks. A few folks have asked how this can work with Lightroom. I'm not a Lightroom user so I don't have the answers or the motivation :). I assume it's possible but I question the benefit. For the rest of us who don'

Duplicates are handled in two ways. If the same photo (based on a sha256 hash) is imported twice it will ignore it and return the location where that photo exists. This information is kept in a ~/.elodie/hash.json file but is only

My original goal was for this to become a static API generator from which a static website could be created. Once I started down this path though that destination became less attractive. I love the idea of a libre Google Photos but once I i

Yes. NEF and DNG are supported. Other RAW formats may work or might easily work but I haven't looked into them yet. What others have done with RAW and JPEG counterparts is to keep them together in the same directory with the same file

We sold the technology to Western Digital and went along for an acquihire. In the end it approaches break even but even that's nearly negligible.

Dug up a post of mine from 2 years ago [1]. I bootstrapped for 14 months without salary and then took a pay cut for 2 years. Here are my numbers. I blogged about this as well [2]. Loss of salary for 1 year, 2 months Does not include l

I think you'll find that many of us don't have a college degree. There's no ticket needed to play.

The closest thing I know of is the Shuttleworth Foundation Fellowships. It's longer and more money than the MacArthur Genius Grants (3 years, $1.2M). Here's my experience as a fellow. http://jaisenmathai.com/articl

If you take one thing from my comment then take this - you're 1/2 the age of many people here and have decades of opportunities ahead of you. If you're 1) unable to raise money, 2) need money to scale and 3) don't have a

While it might not be the exact same amount of DD it is still a good amount. I think it's the law of diminishing returns.

Thanks. It really is a brutal space to be in. I blogged at the beginning of 2014 about why we left the consumer space for the business space [1]. The "fork" of Trovebox that is mentioned in the shutdown email is what we should hav

Not sure I see your argument. Credit cards can obviously be improved upon and it doesn't seem that credit card companies are doing much in regards to its form factor and ease of use. We've got a couple choices. 1) Wait for compani

Valid point. I'm not sure what "participate" really means though. Do Google Express customers have to provide their loyalty cards? Does Target get all of the data they'd get if the customer shopped in store or through th

I'd venture to say it has little to no material impact on how successful your business will be. If you believe in tranparency then you should be transparent. I wouldn't suggest using transparency as a marketing tool. Most of what

The article makes some very odd conclusions. Of course the wealth of homeowners will generally be higher than renters. The only plausible conclusion to draw from that is people in most of the U.S. Will buy a house once they can afford it (a
