  • In a sense, money represents all the future goods and services it can buy, and those goods and services ultimately resolve down to someone’s time and effort. Money was conceived as a formalization of IOU’s, after all.

    So it’s similar to asking whether there’s a limit to how much time and effort from (i.e. influence over) others one would want.


  • I’ve heard of publishing software to design photo albums/scrapbooks/cards etc. Is there a photo collection manager for archiving, sorting and filtering?

    Given access to a large set of personal photos, say tens of thousands, it should be able to group, categorize, tag, and sort along a myriad of dimensions.

    Example dimensions would be time, people and places. It would need some facial recognition/image classifier/similarity scoring capability.

    There definitely are some cloud offerings today that do similar things, but I’d want it to work locally for privacy and practical reasons.





  • I think people are being lazy, in a selfish, tragedy of the commons sort of way.

    When standing in line, they all watch the customer stand there doing nothing as the cashier checks out items. If only they’d bag their own things, we’d all be able to get on with our lives that much sooner. Instead, they continue standing there doing nothing, as the cashier now bags their items.

    Then the next person in line moves up and also just stands there, also unwilling to do anything to help speed things along.
