No shade, but it that essentially (or literally) a monetized UI for https://github.com/microsoft/markitdown - if yes respect . If no then also respect for making something


Is there a good reason not to use GA for client side analytics? Is the juice worth the squeeze for a self-hosted/ FOSS solution?

Obvy client side isn't as 100% as looking at the logs, but I've worked with Adobe Analytics and GA (on the free plan) for a few years. UI in GA is much more intuitive to me than Adobe, and I use the tight integration with Google Datastudio pretty often to make reports or slide decks.

Personally I like the well documented GA API to run reports against + python and R API wrappers. For me the only downside is the level of sampling they use. With Adobe Analytics, the API is not as well documented, but they don't sample like GA, but also I wouldn't want to front the Adobe Analytics bill every month for my side projects.


live about 3 blocks from the Ottawa Wolfdown, defs a tasty meal. Too bad Ontario is back in lockdown. Maybe I'll swing by and grab one for a takeout lunch tmrw..


People love to say everything is a "human right" - IMO human rights should delineate what you can't be deprived of - not what you have the "right" to force others to provide to you if you do not have the capacity to be self sufficient


There is no possible delineation. Anything you can't be deprived of is a thing that others are forced to provide you under state compulsion. What falls under that category is up to social consensus, and is subject to change and debate, as we're seeing with housing now in response to skyrocketing prices and the perverse incentives of the prominence of a house as a reliable investment vehicle.


>> Anything you can't be deprived of is a thing that others are forced to provide you under state compulsion.

The state can’t take away my guns. The state doesn’t have to buy me any guns.


Right. Not only is it not complicated, it couldn't be any more simple.


Absolutely not, the delineation is dead simple. If someone else gets an obligation because of my right it's not a right.

My right to own a gun, have free speech, against self incriminating, or against unlawful search and seizure require Absolutely no action on any person's part but mine besides the court to uphold them (which is true of all systems of rights. Having a court does not negate any of this).

The people who wrote the bill of rights were very aware of this delineation because they stayed exclusively on one side of it.

So you can disagree but to say the idea simply doesn't exist is nonsense.


You're right, it's the negative vs positive rights thing. So there for sure is a difference, and the stance that the government's purpose is to protect the rights of the empowered and to hell with anything that helps anyone else is a consistent viewpoint that I just strongly disagree with.


I dunno. Seems like the 4th amendment protection against unlawful search and seizure, the 5th amendment right against self-incrimination, and the 1st amendment rights for speech and religion (just to name a few) do more than just protect the empowered. Do you disagree?


I don't think any of those rights you mention avoid obligating other people.

What if you're my neighbor, exercising your free speech in person, and I don't want to hear it?

Your sound waves don't stop at my property line. But there are definite limits on what I could do in response.

Hunters go traipsing across private property. Someone with a gun could shoot your dog, or mistake you for a deer. Living around people like that is a huge infringement or obligation of property owners.

Water rights.


So you would argue that the right to have a lawyer when accused of a crime is not a human right?
