Turns out that Adobe is collecting all of its customers' pictures into a machine learning training set.

This is opt-out, not opt-in so if you use Lightroom, for example, it defaults to adding all of your photos to the set.

If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc. they'll still be analysed as soon as they're synced.

I've been using Lightroom to sync photos from my Windows desktop to my iPad. Now I need to reconsider that.

Neither China nor the US have shown good judgement as of late. I think Canada or maybe Switzerland need to get the moon first.

It's quite remarkable actually. I'm not ready to delete my account yet since I want to see what comes of it all. But I've been on there 11 years and I have barely visited it in the past few weeks. There's simply more going on here.

Maryam Mirzakhani was the first woman & Iranian to earn the Fields Medal in mathematics for her brilliant work in hyperbolic geometry.

Her achievements influenced quantum field theory, engineering & material science & may have applications related to how the universe began.

Mirzakhani was an immigrant & became a Stanford professor. She passed away at just 40 in 2017. In her words:

“The beauty of mathematics only shows itself to more patient followers.”

I had the same realization. Nothing about the trailers looked appealing to me but the main character is so genuinely likeable.

My brother-in-law advertised for waitstaff at his tavern, the oldest, most well-known tavern in his region. Lots of people applied, 18 resumes were selected and interviews were lined up. 0 of the candidates showed up.
