  • 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.




  • It’s difficult to consider them pollution even if we were to accept the subjective opinion on displeasing aesthetics.

    The pollution we’re all concerned about tends to be:

    • Physically harmful
    • Difficult to confine/localize/avoid/reverse
    • An externality the economy doesn’t sufficiently account for
    • A burden that’s unevenly/unfairly distributed across society

    Even light pollution, which is arguably barely physically harmful, has all of the remaining qualities (or nearly) for sure.

    If these qualities even apply wind generators at all, they do so very weakly. They can be moved/unbuilt, the “free market” is pricing them cheaper by the day, and if you really don’t like looking at them, it’s not impractical to avoid them.
