I would like to know how much it would cost me to do that on Google Cloud :)

I also have the $99 / year Microsoft 365. This gives you 5 people, 1Tb of space each, email, calendar, etc. $99 per year. Not per person per year. Just per year.

Sadly there are too many things I have tied to Google that I am not sure if I can make that switch to Microsoft. But it is getting more and more tempting.

For the many families who have used GSuites for the past years, I would love to see a $3 / month / user, maximum of 5-10 users.

I am stuck in the same boat as many others who created it for the family 10+ years ago and now am going through how to move each service (GMail, Drive, Keep, Photos, YouTube etc etc) to a plain Gmail account. I have most of it worked out, but it is going to take a lot of time getting 5 people migrated.

Sigh.

Finding code in multiple places....

Semi-related... I TA'ed a Comp Sci class a long time ago (back when they had to submit their code as print-outs). I read through the print-outs and noticed that the "look" of one of them seemed oddly familiar (blocks, line lengths, indenting etc). I went back through the others and found another one that was almost exactly the same.

Took it to the Prof and we agreed the ones that copied got 0 on the project, and the ones who allowed the copying got 50% of their mark. Honestly, they got off quite easy.

I got hit by this yesterday. I run a postfix server with a spamcop check and email stopped coming through. I had fail2ban setup to shut out bad SMTP requests and interestingly this spamcop issue made fail2ban completely ban the incoming SMTP requests.

Thankfully I figured that part of it out, but it is nice to see where the issue actually came from.

[I took out spamcop checks completely.]

Quick glance and I got excited that maybe Joss Whedon was going to be able to create another series based on Firefly.

I have to admit, I think the interface is prettier than HN.

Awesome, I was just reading the paper when you sent this. It looks like a really interesting direction of work.

I have a couple astrophysics CNN problems for which I am not sure the best architecture and I am now curious to try this out.

Given a network topology found using this technique, I wonder how it would compare with the same topology with fit parameters?

I didn't see any discussion in the article of having different languages but the what three word website talks about it.

One thing that I don't quite understand is two locations very near each other have completely different sets of words. I would have thought there would be some sort of hierarchy of words (sort of like geocoding a lat long where it defines a box and the precision of the geocoding gives you larger or smaller boxes).

I wonder too if there are going to be collisions of words and locations that aren't going to make people too happy. Though they must have thought through that too.

Either way it is an interesting idea.

Me too please?

To be honest, I use plain old email. If you have a decent client (I use Thunderbird) you can put any text, links, images etc in there. Searching is built-in. Tagging isn't quite as good but there are ways around it.

I then use procmail for putting into the right folder.

It has worked really well for me.
