> I don't like having years of information stuck in an app that makes it very difficult to extract.

Why do you say it's difficult to extract? You can select one, several, or all of the notes in a notebook and export them in either HTML or XML format, with all metadata (tags, etc.) and embedded media included. That seems pretty good to me, and it's certainly easy. If you wanted something more sophisticated, Evernote on the Mac has exceptionally complete support for AppleScript, so you can code up whatever kind of fancy extraction you need.

I'm not asking to be argumentative; I've always considered Evernote's support for extracting data to be pretty darn good, and clearly superior to many competitive apps/services, so I'm curious to know what additional functionality you would require before you'd say it's not "very difficult" to extract your information.

I'm sincerely glad you waited until they were older so you could maximize your chances of getting your kids infected with previously eradicated diseases.

You are the problem, and you should feel bad. Unless there is an explicit medical reason why (your child is legitimately allergic to the contents of the vaccine) there is no good reason to not vaccinate your child immediately. You are in the same crowd as the anti-vaxxers, because you're afraid of some 1 in 14000 boogeyman. Do you not drive your car because you're very likely to be seriously injured in the process of doing it? Your idea of waiting until they were older is absolutely just as ridiculous.

Just to clarify, you should never hold someone having a seizure. You should clear out things they could hurt themselves with, but never hold them. I see clearly that smart decisions runs in your entire family. I seriously hope you didn't hurt your children's health by getting them vaccinated later in life.

Just by pumping air inside through filters a positive internal pressure is automatically created. How much pressure will be created is proportional to the pump's flow rate and inversely proportional to the car leakage constant ( I think it's something like leakage ~ k * P.I.P., which would make P.I.P. ~ pump flow/k ), but some positive internal pressure is a given even with those outlets.

You do not have to get into a "top med school" to be a doctor. Going to a bottom-tier med school is not "the end of the world." Know what they call doctors who graduated from the lowest-ranked med school? "Doctor."

You don't even have to be a doctor. A friend of mine is a P.A. (2 years of post-college schooling). He was history major who had to fill in his P.A. pre-reqs at a community college. Now he does 90 percent of what doctors do. That's not the "end of the world" either.

Another friend is an ER nurse. Guess what? He makes a nice living and his life is great.

This is the sort of "catastrophe inflation" the parent article is talking about. There's a huge difference between not achieving a personal goal (example: top med school), and an actual catastrophe (example: your child drowns while fleeing a civil war).

There will be many personal goals that you will not achieve during your lifetime. That's not a disaster, that's just life. That's when "what you've learned" becomes more important than your grades.
They didn't call those bands "rage against the machine" and "public enemy" for nuthin now did they? I mean, in all seriousness, why be so serious? Simple points need to be understood, not simply dismissed out of hand. In theory everything the government or your employer tells you is true. In reality, they have alot to gain from asymetric information distribution, both in terms of negotiating financial outcomes but also in terms of maintaining their political power base.

I fantasize about having enough time to be "bored." I don't mean that as a humblebrag. Just the opposite, exactly. If I was better at life then I'd actually have the time to be "bored."

I put "bored" in quotes because boredom is a very momentary state for me. If I'm "bored" then I can choose to do something I actually want to do: read a book, write something, do something spontaneous, etc.

Your comment about embedding external QA workflows is super interesting. Right now Orchestra does support what we call 'Review Policies', which allow you to specify that a given workflow step be reviewed k times, or with probability X, or by specific expert Z. But it would be interesting to think of whole workflows for QA.

I'm worried that most of us use sensory-stimulation to avoid boredom, instead of those worthy activities you mention. Like firing up Angry Birds (or whatever is popular now). Or turning on Netflix. Or texting somebody, anybody, to get them to text you back.
This was more true in the era of overt white supremacy, when majority-white electorates would refuse to vote for black candidates, and thus black candidates could only win elections in strongly majority-black districts. This has changed from the 1990s, which black candidates started winning even in majority-white districts.

However, this also led political marginalization as well. To tilt a purple state Republican, you gerrymander districts so that you have more slightly-Republican districts than strongly-Democratic one. Concentrating black Democratic voters in one district is a strategy both to guarantee the presence of a few black representatives as well as an overall Republican majority.

Why isn't fair to compare Model X to a Sedan ? It IS basically a sedan.

It isn't a Landrover style SUV that you could legitimately take off road.
I'd expect less than half. The drag of a pair of jet skis is going to be significantly more than the X itself. Perfect use for me though. I drive 500 miles then need to put a boat in the water. My available high efficiency cars can't do the last two miles with a boat, so sometimes I have to drive a full sized pickup truck instead.
This is scary enough I'm uninstalling my app just incase they add these "features" in an update. Thanks. Oh well, no big loss.

Agreed. It's really sad that breasts have been fetishized to the point that their primary function has been obscured and become socially awkward. We humans are mammals and breastfeeding is pretty much the definition of being a mammal.

Interesting to note that WINE predates this by several years - 1993 - but apparently there were commercial Win32 UNIX layers available too at the time.

On X-Windows, you can configure your system such that the focus follows the mouse. That is, when you move the mouse to a window, the focus automatically moves to that window.

It seems most early UNIX systems I used were configured this way, and it was extremely irritating since I was accustomed to "parking" the pointer out of the way, somewhere else on the screen, when doing things like filling in text fields.

As for Scientology: There's a distinction between the faith and a specific organization.

It's entirely possible to crush the Church of Scientology, the specific organization, without outlawing the Scientology faith. That's both legally possible and possible to imagine, even though a lot of people seem hard-pressed to understand the distinction I'm drawing here.

Which leads into another idea some people seem unable to grasp: Being a cult is a property of some specific organization, not a belief system.

Not to mention the complaint in parent's comment, that you can no longer copy/paste, plus the inclusion of javascript to skip to the next box (or the lack thereof) is confusing from a UX perspective.

Allow phone numbers to be entered in any format in a simple text box.

If you want, apply formatting after the fact based on the country, though I think this is even not a good idea. In some cases, the phone number won't be from the same country as the user (with VoIP and mobile, phone number locality is no longer a thing). Dialing formats are also a source of confusion, eg: do you include or require country code?

>When one of these "modern, established democracies" manages to maintain a stable government (or even survive) for as long as the United States has

"Has" up to what date? Is there some set length of time they have to surpass? Or are you suggesting the US can't learn anything from other countries until after it collapses and is outlived? Seems like a moot point by then.
On what timescale? If district I'm talking about went 100 years red then 100 years blue but retained the same characteristics, that would be aggregate fairness, but clearly unfair. In your case of one red person in a sea of blue, it's obvious that they would be at a disadvantage. The situation I'm specifically talking about is one where red and blue are roughly equal. Does it make sense to randomly remove one side's voice?
It's a bit cumbersome, yes, but I don't think it defeats the purpose of mkSegment.

Let's see: because mkSegment is the only way to construct a Segment, you know the arguments to intersect are valid. So there cannot be any doubt about the meaning of Maybe in the result; it simply cannot refer to invalid arguments. There is only one other possible meaning: that the segments don't intersect, which is the idiomatic use of Maybe (another reason why I wouldn't use Maybe in this case to signal an invalid argument: "which argument?").

Yes, this means that even if there is an intersection, mkSegment forces you to handle the None case, even though you know by construction this will never happen. It's annoying but nothing too terrible. I don't see how this is cheating; you are simply using a property that the type system is unable to catch... but this property exists nonetheless.
The above poster is drawing a distinction between faster (top speed) and quicker (acceleration). Auto-journalism usually uses this language. In everyday speech, "faster" is ambiguous.
Nope. Gerrymandering makes districts more or less homogenous in a way that benefits one party.

To tilt a balanced state Republican, you concentrate Democratic votes into a few districts where Republicans will never be competitive, then create a larger number of districts where Republicans can consistently win with razor-thin margins. You'll have one homogenous district that is 70% Democratic, and seven Republican districts that are 53% Republican.

Some programmer - or team of programmers - implemented this software. Sure, it may have been a PHB who came up with the idea and told them to code this into the algorithm - but it was programmers like you or I who actually cranked out the code that made this possible.

Can you imagine this happening with, say, an architect? When unsafe buildings fall down, it makes international news. By and large, professionals have a code of conduct which they must follow or there is a very real chance that they will lose their livelihood.

I'm a Member of the British Computing Society - it has a fairly simple code of conduct for members. http://www.bcs.org/category/6030

I can certainly see adding this functionality would probably be a breach of ...

> 1 a) have due regard for public health, privacy, security and wellbeing of others and the environment.

> 2 d) ensure that you have the knowledge and understanding of Legislation* and that you comply with such Legislation, in carrying out your professional responsibilities.

> 2 f) avoid injuring others, their property, reputation, or employment by false or malicious or negligent action or inaction.

> 3 e) NOT misrepresent or withhold information on the performance of products, systems or services (unless lawfully bound by a duty of confidentiality not to disclose such information), or take advantage of the lack of relevant knowledge or inexperience of others.

But, here's the kicker - if I were kicked out of the BCS for adding this code, nothing would happen to me. Employers don't care about professional bodies - except in terms of certification and, possibly, indemnity.

I'm quite happy being a member of a Trade Union, because I believe it offers me the best protection against a malicious employer - I wonder how long before more codes start joining professional bodies to help protect themselves from being asked to act counter to their best interests?

Research and Development Trends in the UK
This is, in my experience, another interesting and unintentional side effect of a free OS.

When the OS is free, the engineers I've talked to who have been tasked with using it to implement their product are generally less experienced (which is to say less expensive). And the entire impression I get is that there is some cost minimization going on. Some sort of psychological trick that if its an expensive OS you need some expert engineer to bend it to your will, but if its free and seems to be everywhere, well you can hire an intern to do all your integration, development, and testing.

Its activated charcoal filter has the primary layer, a secondary layer that filters sulfur gases, and a tertiary layer that filters alkaline gases.

Skunk spray is made primarily of thiols and their acetate derivatives. Thiols (the main ugly smelling ones are both thiols) are organosulfur compounds, and would be filtered by the secondary chemical filter.

The gases that make the decaying corpse smell are acidic (AFAIK), so would be filtered by the tertiary layer.
