When it comes to self-hosting services, there’s always a question of whether deploying a local container is worth the extra hassle when you can just access cloud-based platforms. However, Vert is one instance where it’s always better to ditch the online apps for a containerized solution.

For starters, you’ll have to upload your documents to third-party servers when converting PDFs, JPGs, or other documents via online platforms. While many websites claim to delete your data after a specific span of time, there’s a huge privacy issue every time you send private files to an external server.

Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price. Unhappy with their meager profits, they meet one night in a smoke-filled tavern to discuss a secret plan: If they raise prices together instead of competing, they can both make more money. But that kind of intentional price-fixing, called collusion, has long been illegal. The widget merchants decide not to risk it, and everyone else gets to enjoy cheap widgets.

For well over a century, U.S. law has followed this basic template: Ban those backroom deals, and fair prices should be maintained. These days, it’s not so simple. Across broad swaths of the economy, sellers increasingly rely on computer programs called learning algorithms, which repeatedly adjust prices in response to new data about the state of the market. These are often much simpler than the “deep learning” algorithms that power modern artificial intelligence, but they can still be prone to unexpected behavior

What is a new thing, a new something that you have recently gotten into, or that you have been a long time participant in, that you find very entertaining and fun and time consuming and distracting?

What things would we need to purchase to get into that thing?

How did you get into that thing?
