Hi tonguetrainer. I'm Wade and I work with the Bublup team. I'm the product evangelist here at Bublup and seeing that you have such extensive experience with Evernote and then found Bublup satisfying current frustrations, I am hoping to learn a bit more about how you were using Evernote and then how that transferred to Bublup. I'm curious how you adjusted to constructing your notes and data organization from Evernote to Bublup. What was the transition like and what clicked for you when you were exploring Evernote alternatives that made Bublup a good fit for your needs. What were some of the key issues and gripes you must've been feeling with Evernote at that time? Thanks for anything you might add that we can learn from in your experience.
Absolutely agree. I was looking for feedback and encouragement/doubts from people who have done this before, so I left it out intentionally so I could do a follow up post focusing on the idea itself. Several users in this thread have guessed it already though.
I don't have a fecebook account.
No, they are afraid of this because the films are rubbish that promote witchcraft and are designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Go and watch them - anyone with half a brain will find them terrible

There is no conspiracy - it's really bad movies made in very short periods of times - that's why the educated, who the article refers to as "elites" talk bad about the movies.

And the governments of non-nigerian countries just want to develop their local film industry. The government of nigeria fully supports and helps the local film industry.

The entire article is just horribly researched and is giving you bad information.
I have my own business and don't have a business plan. I think that it's hard to come up with a realistic plan when you're just starting out; you just don't know much about how things really work in your market. I've learned a lot, mostly about what doesn't work, in my 2+ years of being in business. Maybe I could use that knowledge to write a plan for the next year.
> I think the name of the game there is to get to an exit before the regulators really start to get involved, because those will only eat away cash/value.

Ostensibly, the multi-decade vision for Uber is that it becomes not just a taxi substitute but the operator of all the transportation in the future, as people abandon cars in the US and as motorized transportation reaches more of the third world, eventually culminating with them having a good chunk of the ownership in the driverless-car market... and that's where the value will come from, not just the disruption of the entrenched taxi interests (which is only adequately lucrative, and, as you mentioned, riskier). And regulatory diversity at least ensures that there will be somewhere that they should be capable of proving out a model with which to tempt the rest of the world.

Realistic or not, I tend to think that the management buys into that kool-aid.
You're taking 5kIU of Vitamin D a day??
Did they copy the workhorse design? Or is the link wrong? So weird.
I think you're quite right, but I'm wondering if it reflects that because a lot of those guilty of this sort of behaviour in science are still stuck in the mindset of 10-15 years ago? Mind you this shouldn't affect the way he argues about it, but if scientists are still bringing up the "women feel, men think" argument it seems right to address it.
Maybe it's because I'm not American but I don't understand what "the woo" is exactly here. The closest thing I can think of is the verb "to woo" which ... doesn't really make sense here. Could you possibly explain it?
There's a good list of tech podcasts over at StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1644/what-good-technology...
Agreed. Were you under the impression I was arguing as such? I'm simply saying "men think and women feel" is a debate we were having a long time ago before the biological arguments for the lack of women in science were refuted. Now that the biological arguments have been proven to have no merit, the issues we need to be looking at are social.

Women are not being told they can't do science anymore (that's what the article seems to be suggesting). Instead they're being told they need to look pretty and live up to certain standards of beauty. Living up to these standards is a lot of work for young girls and doesn't leave much time for much else. Men on the other hand can neglect such standards and still be socially accepted. I can't even imagine what a woman would go through if she dressed like your average male engineer.
I just want to say: this guy is suffering and the best a specialist can do is an appointment 6 months out, and pundits say we have the best healthcare system in the world?
I agree that Facebook privacy issues are a pressing and downright threatening issue for the company. They are just a complete turnoff for many users. But I thought Mark Z. answered pretty candidly and saying to him that he should step down (of off to the side as the post suggests) now is ignoring the realities of the choices he probably faces as an entrepreneur.

Braid itself was novel because it took game state and made it immutable, immutability often needs a lot of consideration

This is definitely speculation on my part but maybe he didn't become a coder focused on his craft because of the finances afforded to him from Braid, maybe he created Braid a quality game because he was a coder focused on his craft?

I had to change some of my Business Manager settings this week in preparation for the iOS changes before my new ads would run. They specifically mentioned "Aggregated Event Measurement" for anybody who wants to look into it.

Didn’t read article. Comments remind me of the cause and penalty of Opium War - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_Wars
Dude, take a deep breath and chill. Your "Red Rage" led you to confuse the Economist - always a stalwart champion of British Liberal Capitalism - with The Guardian, a somewhat leftish newspaper from the UK.
If a private enterprise commits atrocities in its pursuit of greed, the compatriots of the CEO usually have fairy little agency in or even knowledge of the matter, even if that CEO also held some public office.

It would be wise to point at the real perpetrators such as Leopold II and other financiers and executors involved rather than 'Belgians'.
I wonder how useful this is behind Chinas firewalll
There's no need for carbon fiber, and besides, you can buy carbon fiber beams and poles that are used for much more than just RC aircraft. Any multirotor frame you can build with carbon fiber you could build with fiberglass, aluminum, or even wood and plastic without significant performance reduction that would be relevant to hauling drugs short distances.
No. They led a coup. There should be hangings. End of discussion.

Well, probably because the rhetoric was presumed entirely rhetorical, and then Trump supporters including white supremacists invaded the Capital building talking about hunting down members of congress to ensure Trump's victory and 5 people died.

And I don't think they had deals, it's more like nobody wants to be the last place where Trump is posting.
Once the code is initially migrated (which should not break it), the diffs won't be large, since the order should be consistent.
Some reasons he listed are real technical limitations e.g. difficulty in manipulating large images due to RAM shortage. But such problems will not automatically go away just by moving to Android. i.e. they are specific to the problem domain, and not the device itself.
Except they proceeded to indicate which channels you could listen to for notice of planned downtime.
My second hand experience says that they are very prone to firing people.

At first glance this seems good, because I've certainly worked places where dead weight was permitted and there seemed to be no getting rid of them.

The problem is: how do you know which people are good? I believe you can come to pretty accurate conclusions with the right people in place at each level of your hierarchy. However, one wrong person can completely skew your perception of who is doing good work.

I've also never seen a metrics-based review system that was actually designed for measuring humans. It must work really well on the robots that Google tests it on, but people don't map to 1-5 point scales or bell curves as well as you might think.
Could you solve this by working at a well-funded startup...?
My personal stance in refusing to read that drivel stands as personal protest. What is TIME turning into anyway, Teen Idol Mania Essays? Meh.

It comes down to expectations again.

I've recovered some seriously screwed up hard drives.
I know the tools, I have the resources. I takes quite a bit of my time, plus I'm assuming some risk.
I therefore now direct corporate data loss issues to a contracted data loss company who has proven to be reliable and efficient (and can handle situations I can't)

Sure, they charge more for it - but I don't look at it and say "That's BS, I could have done that myself" - because I have a logical reason as to why I'm choosing them.

Similarly, having dabbled in lockpicking, I would be the one tipping the locksmith for showing up in a hurry and not damaging my lock - but only because I understand the alternatives (everything from me breaking my house somewhere to a crappy locksmith making me wait to the point of just about breaking my house, to a crappy locksmith showing up and mangling my lock for good).

If you own a computer repair shop you should give people reasonable estimates as to how long it takes to fix their problem and endeavour to always deliver just short of that time - consistently. Over time your reputation for consistency and reliability is more important than short-term money.
A simple job might be a simple 1 hour job - but you have other tasks as well, other customers, and you never know what complications might arise, so you have good reason to tell give a larger estimate.
They'll be more than happy when you call htem the next day saying "something opened up, everything went fine, here you go."

Locksmiths are in a weird spot because they don't, I think, get a lot of repeat calls (or if htey do, those repeat callers aren't the ones who don't appreciate them.) Many people probably go through life never having engaged a locksmith, and having a guy show up with a little kit, spending 30 seconds opening your door at 2am and hten charging you $75might feel like a ripoff - but presumably you called him because you had no alternative. He didn't accidentally leave your keys in your house or lose them at the bar.
Here's a few suggestions, in ascending order of subjective difficulty to the average HN user:

Smashing Magazine (which doubles as good for web design).

Study the color wheel, read analyses of ways to use it.

Fashion websites.

Go to lots of museums.

Go to art galleries.

Flip through 2-3 fashion magazines per month at the bookstore.

Read book(s) on how to dress for different functions.

Go to high end stores and try things on.

Talk to artists, designers, architects, painters, etc. about why things look the way they look.

Take some art class, either crafting/doing-based, or art history.

Go with some sort of visual artist to a museum, and ask their thoughts about paintings.

Get a girlfriend/boyfriend/significant other who is an artist.

Any of those would help. The more you layer on, probably the faster you learn.

Also, study fashion/clothing advertisements. Scrutinize and analyze why they chose what they chose... many fashion ads will be regarded as high art in the distant future, because immense amounts of preparation, lighting, setting, and skill goes into making them. Almost anything that's in one is in it for a reason. Look at it and ask, "Why did they choose this? What are they trying to say/portray? Why this background/environment with that sort of clothing?" It's not instant gratification on the last one, but soon you start seeing the patterns. It's kind of beautifully awesome when you do.

The trick lies in being able to tell when something will never work. Sometimes the light at the end of a tunnel is an oncoming train. And no amount of patience will help a buggy-whip company when Henry Ford comes knocking.
The article says “He also emphasized that the biggest threats to historical sites were from treasure hunters and urbanization.”

The treasure hunter bit is going to be difficult to avoid if there are many photos.
What worries me is that there doesn't seem to be some global coordination in the distribution of the vaccines. It looks more like an individual race, than a synchronized collective effort.

In the scenario where only the old accept to get vaccinated, and the vaccine doesn't reach the required threshold to stomp the virus. The virus become manageable, the economy reopen but the virus run rampant in the asymptotic population slowly mutating over-time until it finds a variant that is resistant to the vaccine by successfully infecting a vaccinated person.

And it just needs for this to happen in a large population cluster where the vaccination doesn't reach the threshold, either because they do not have access to the vaccine yet or because some fraction of the population decide to not get vaccinated, for everyone to get screwed-up again.

Then we get a new vaccine every year.
Well, I can give one well-known example for this in genetics. Females carry two X-chromosome, against male's X and Y. There is one thing called X-inactivation, which means one of the X chromosome in the cell is inactivated randomly in cells. By this, even organs only carried the same kind of cells are mosaic in aspect to genes in X chromosome. Then think about a well-know X-chromosome linked disease, the Rett Syndrome, and the cell in body, in the brain.
IANAL but I think it would depend on how such income is categorized. If it is considered as contract work, then no you can't. You can only legally work for your employer who is sponsoring your visa.

I agree with DarmokJalad1701, it's not worth risking it
Michael Sherwin, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, told the Associated Press: "All of those charges [sedition, unauthorized access, theft of federal property] are on the table... We’re not going to keep anything out of our arsenal for potential charges. We will bring the most maximum charges we can based upon the conduct."

You may not want to offer a free version. Freeloaders don't convert and they become a support burden whether or not you offer support to them. Once you want to shut off the free version, which you will, you're going to make those people who used your thing and didn't value it enough to pay you for it mad. They wont convert, they'll just get toxic, because they'll feel entitled to your free service. A free option isn't worth it.

You made a cool thing. Charge for it.
Wait till it gets more popular. Same as with the whole internet.
It definitely is, it actually made me look back fondly at my time at Oracle if that says anything lol. The fact that it remains an aspirational job (gotta grind leetcode for FANG!) makes me smirk
u mind sharing what ":(){:|:&}; :&" means?
I like awk (and used it a lot 15-20 years ago), but that code to my eye is oversqueezed and hard to read.

Can somebody post a screen-shot for those of us who only see squares?
Was happy to see this come across HN. I had bookmarked several notes and a PHP implementation of this. I am planning on using this to simplify the number of points defining a particular path on a google map, for a small preview map. Some of my data is > 1 meg for a long route, so trimming is important.

Okay it appears that you and several others have not read the preprint paper. The article's wording is a bit confusing but if you think carefully you'd realize that a later work can not be independent of an earlier well known result.

The article does have a link to Maynard's preprint: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1311.4600v1.pdf

Here is an expert overview of the situation: http://www.dms.umontreal.ca/~andrew/CEBBrochureFinal.pdf

"In April 2013, Yitang Zhang proved the existence of a nite bound B such
that there are in nitely many pairs of distinct primes which di er by no more than B.
This is a massive breakthrough, makes the twin prime conjecture look highly plausible
(which can be re-interpreted as the conjecture that one can take B 2) and his work
helps us to better understand other delicate questions about prime numbers that had
previously seemed intractable. The original purpose of this talk was to discuss Zhang's
extraordinary work, putting it in its context in analytic number theory, and to sketch
a proof of his theorem.
Zhang had even proved the result with B 70 000 000. Moreover, a co-operative
team, polymath8, collaborating only on-line, had been able to lower the value of B to
4680. Not only had they been more careful in several di cult arguments in Zhang's
original paper, they had also developed Zhang's techniques to be both more powerful
and to allow a much simpler proof. Indeed the proof of Zhang's Theorem, that will be
given in the write-up of this talk, is based on these developments.
In November, inspired by Zhang's extraordinary breakthrough, James Maynard dramatically
slashed this bound to 600, by a substantially easier method. Both Maynard,
and Terry Tao who had independently developed the same idea, were able to extend
their proofs to show that for any given integer m ¥ 1 there exists a bound Bm such
that there are in nitely many intervals of length Bm containing at least m distinct
primes. We will also prove this much stronger result herein, even showing that one
can take Bm e8m􀀀5.
If these techniques could be pushed to their limit then we would obtain B( B2)
12, so new ideas are still needed to have a feasible plan for proving the twin prime
conjecture.
The article will be split into two parts. The rst half, which appears here, we
will introduce the work of Zhang, Polymath8, Maynard and Tao, and explain their
arguments that allow them to prove their spectacular results. As we will discuss,
Zhang's main novel contribution is an estimate for primes in relatively short arithmetic
progressions. The second half of this article sketches a proof of this result; the Bulletin
article will contain full details of this extraordinary work."

They're similar enough that MacRuby http://macruby.org/ is actually built on top of the Objective-C runtime (I'm surprised that the article doesn't mention that).
World reserves are 40 billion cubic meters, yearly production is 175 million cubic meters. It seems we have 200 years supply. And it's a renewable resource (produced during radioactive decay), and universe has a lot of helium, 23% of its baryonic mass.
After reading your point I wondered whether the "reasonable" distinction had any bearing on the requirement for a warrant. The warrant requirement is what I'm most interested in here. I came across http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_exception which seems particularly relevant. Apparently motor vehicles have a lower expectation of privacy, so I wonder whether this means that a separate ruling is needed on whether GPS trackers on motor vehicles need a warrant.
Cannot carry the infection? Ugh, I'll go with it.

Still, there are other less literal interpretations. You can be immune from legal action, or immune from the effects of a global financial crash. When Musk says:

...but elderly with existing conditions are vulnerable. Family gatherings with close contact between kids & grandparents probably most risky.

He clearly isn't saying kids cannot carry COVID-19. He's saying they're "essentially" immune from the symptoms.
I wonder if the increased power capacity is implemented by the device and power supply negotiating a higher voltage. 100w at 5 volts would be 20 amps, which seems a bit high.
I'm a little worried that if these get made to the same standard that most usb cables are that one of these is going to kill someone.
It's getting to the point where you can just scrape chillingeffects.org to find all the hottest torrent sites hosting actual content.
How about something like making some open source or similar projects related to your hobby and having a patreon that people can support you with? Would depend how large and generous the potential audience is whether that would be enough to sustain you.
I remember setting original quality on purpose as I didn't want downgraded images. I paid for extra storage... Only to find multiple times Google Photos app would randomly reset my preference and use their "high quality" setting. I made sure to stop using Google Photos (except as a low quality backup) and used other storage providers. My early experiences with Google Drive were also negative to the point that I would rather use Dropbox, One Drive or another solution.
Haha. It as just the easiest the type out on an iPhone.
That's fine as long as you're all Apple people. Walk outside that garden though and how do you share an album with someone? To contrast, Google photos web app is actually good!
What do these AliExpress/Wish buyers expect exactly ?

How did Judaism and/or Christianity exploit and destroy the world? I have no idea what you are referring to, genuinely curious. If you mean wars, then that seems more a generic human tendancy than a religious one

> I agree that it is vastly expensive to have a security level high enough that the KGB realistically can not take over your network, but it's far cheaper and more realistic to have a security level where it's not worth the expense.

Yep. The former is possible in theory but not likely to happen. The latter is somewhat difficult, but ought to be table stakes for any company dealing with security-sensitive anything.
