My friend from school days, who is into a digging up lot of WWII stuffs, have a museum in a remote corner of India. Backed by Japan, and the local government, it is located near to other Japanese related location in Imphal, Manipur (INDIA).
Here are some pictures I took while visiting it some time before the official opening. I think I got some of the Indian Currency printed by the Japanese during the war. I might also have copies of some videos from during that time (I think the 40s-50s).
> Starting April 14, Apple Business will be available as a free service in the U.S. and 200+ countries and regions to new and existing users of Apple Business Connect, Apple Business Essentials, and Apple Business Manager.
Does this mean — Always Free or Introductory Free for now?
I understand it's free to set up the business but iCloud, AppleCare and Email/Calendar storage past the free (I suppose tiny) allowance are paid. As Apple loves, freemium with in-app purchases!
Like many other time-related websites, this one is also well done, well thought out, and well designed. I find it hard to recall the websites when I need them. This is personal, but unless a website is regularly used, and if I need time to think or look up, I try to go for something on my machine.
The same principle I try to bring up when building something for consumers whose primary objective is something else, and the solution/app is competing with something easy to find, “Can this compete or be faster with pen/paper, or just writing a note to self on WhatsApp?”
The Native Time Apps on macOS are pretty good these days, so I have done away with all sorts of Timezome, Alarm, Timer-related Apps except The Clock.[1]
I think The Clock is just one developer, and I have had the app for as long as I can remember (easily 10+ years). I can do without it and use the native clock to replace most functions, but I like that time slider, which I can use to check the time differences between zones. Settings sync across devices via iCloud. It is just there whenever I need it. It is one of those that you buy once and keep abusing for ages.
With the naming of “28th Regime”, I think they should have named it like “0th Regime”, or “Zero Regime”, or “99th Regime.” What if another country or two or more are added in the future? They will be on the 29, 30th, and so on.
Question: Anyone know if this is open internationally or is just for European Residents?
“Palantir is a tech platform that consumes data from their clients in return for providing high level data-driven insights. They assign FDEs (or consultants) to really learn the details of a customers data. Foundry allows them to get single pane view of the data in an org and they actually have both the tech and engineering skills to do the dirty data cleaning jobs.
For an extravagant fee, you give them your data, they clean it for you, and then those same FDEs can tell you interesting things that you should have known, had you actually done proper data architecture in the first place.”
They’re also missing the tidbit that, like any other consultancy, they provide a means for laundering a conclusion that middle management has already come to, confirmation bias be damned. Unsurprising that they’re also useful for parallel construction for LEOs.
The first half is true. They bring in their FDEs to clean and organize your data.
But the difference in what they leave behind is what separates them from classic consultancies and pure tech companies.
They don't leave behind "insights." They leave behind a suite of operational (ie have write capabilities not just dashboards) applications that are "custom" built to actually solve those insights. I put custom in quotes because while the applications are usually bespoke to your company, they are built in Palantir's app-building product Workshop, which significantly lowers the cost of building these custom apps.
So in the end, your company's processes are improved because your employees are using the apps that the FDE's built.
This is distinct from traditional consultancies because those will only leave behind the insights. Also distinct from most SaaS because those have a one-size-fits all approach, so you wind up having to change your company to fit the design of the application, where as Palantir builds its applications to fit your company.

You did mention the reason for a server rack as a matter of circumstance. But if I were to do and really want the Hydropnics part, I’d sell the Server Rack (good price) and buy the cheaper Pallet Racks. The first thing that comes to mind is that it will be easier to plan, pluck, change lights, etc.
Server Racks - you don’t interact with them often, but you will need to with the Hydroponics one.
Also, your setup is too clean. Water will drip, spill, the pebbles will fall. Looks really nice, though.
About 5 years ago, I worked with a Climate Research Scientist friend, growing exotic plants in dutch-buckets, tower aeroponics, and rack mounted red-lit setups to induce Vitamin B-12 (only found in meat, so deficiencies develops in vegetarian) to Spinach trying to produce Super Spinash.
Having it closed (like this server rack) allows for controlled air circulation if fans are installed and flow paths are designed properly. Also, in case heating is needed, for example, if operated in the basement the heat loss can be reduced.
Tell me more about super spinach. B12 doesn't come from plants or animals, but from bacteria. So, I don't know how you could get B12 into spinach by using red lights. You'd also need to introduce the bacteria and somehow make it live inside of the spinach.
Do you have some sort of inoculation step and then use red light to penetrate the spinach leaves to feed light energy to the bacteria?
Or pry the door frame apart and tap it back in place after rolling the rack out.
Worth a mention as many door frames are easier to remove than a number of people might suspect .. fewer pieces to disassemble than many {object}'s and not an uncommon hack when moving furniture.
when i moved to this apartment, the wooden wardrobe i had in previous one (built on the spot) could eventually move through that door and corners but absolutely could not move through this doors/corridors/corners (or staircase). So.. i got a power-jigsaw and cut it into upper and lower halves. Those moved easily. Then "assembled" them halves with lots of metal planks and screws on the new spot. Tadaa...
