Here are two issues that I generally face with Evernote:

- Sync: many times, it takes too long to sync. I want something on my phone, so I will save it on Mac and then get ready to leave but it will take 10-15 minutes to sync to phone. (Even after forcing sync on both devices multiples times)

- Editor: The editor has been stagnant for too long and has lots of issues. Undo does not work reliably if you paste something from other apps, there's no Markdown support.

Also, iOS app is too bloated and generally slow. I have resorted to using Drafts as my note taking app and then saving to EN.
These things absolutely explain why I am fatter than you, why Jane is skinnier than Phyllis. They are useful if Jane wants to gain weight or Phyllis wants to lose it.

I don't think they are are enough to explain changes in the population over time though. I don't think habits have changed that much, first of all. Maybe fewer video games were played but fewer people did fun runs and cross fit too. Either way, there definitely were some coach potatoes and office workers in the 70s and there are some now. But our coach potatoes are bigger than our parents'.
Tuition pricing should be based on demonstrated need and real merit, not just the desire of a college to steal a few smart students from a competitor down the street.

What does "real merit" mean? I can't think of any definition that doesn't include trying to bring in more smart students...

First Chinese start doing something that goes against human rights.

Then US notices it and thinks, well the Chinese are getting away with it, perhaps if we keep it really well in secret, we can also do this on larger scale.

Then Russia will also start doing it in more open and receives the blame but does not care.

Then it hits the fan for the US and Russians start pointing that see, Americans are also doing it.

Now everyone wants to do it (well, most of them are doing it already).
Sure, but it isn't the same person. If my bmi23 diet is 2000 calories and I eat 2000 calories, I will probably have a bmi of 23. If my bmi23 diet is 1800 calories and I eat 2000 calories, I will probably have a higher bmi.

I guess a clearer way to say what I am getting at is that bmi is descriptive, not predictive, so a shift in the bmi maintained by a given calorie intake could be explained by a shift in the habits of the population, so that the modern group achieves a given bmi at higher calorie intakes.

It's not just the same tuition for all 4 years though. For instance if you pay 10,000 for tuition with 48% "discount" through merit-scholarships or what have you. Then next year that discount is only 40%, but your tuition stays the same at 10,000. You're still paying 800 more in tuition, but your tuition didn't go up.

Customs clearence Delhi agent – Balagi cargo
Our life now without transportation facility seems impossible. It has either directly or indirectly has significant influence in our daily life. It won't be an aberration if we say that it has now become a part and parcel of our life now. In shifting or transporting your goods safely, cargo services have a very vital role to play. So choosing a cargo services to transport your merchandise is important.
It's true that what we have today was built directly on the last 20 000 years of progress, but there is still a significant difference - those previous 20 000 years will live in the memories of survivors of the next great war, as well as in any books that will last. Domestication, farming, basic health care, etc. are things that can fit in one's mind. In the entire known history, we've never really restarted from scratch.

Even from our times, a some of knowledge would probably survive - from the ideas behind industrial revolution or modern medicine that can fit in one's head, to knowledge of physics, chemistry and biology that is stored in books. No matter how hard we try, we won't nuke every single book out of existence.

But then again, not that much knowledge will live, given our increased dependence on volatile storage media. Even if a hard drive would survive a century, we won't have anything to read it with.

The reason last 300 years were special is because our progress started to depend on enormous and ever increasing amounts of power. We've used up most of the sources that could be mined, and most renewables are not viable without high-precision manufacturing. Solar power is out of the question; we could start rebuilding hydro and wind power capacity but it will be a slow and very painful process, without easy coal and petroleum to help build the infrastructure. We simply may not have enough easy fuel left to restart the technological civilization.

I'm not sure I follow. So you have programming "education" through online courses, but you are essentially not sure whether you have made any professional gains from it?

I think I am hearing that you are disillusioned by the rather unstructured and disorderly state in which online "MOOC" type education is. There is no quality or accuracy assurance due to a lack of common standards and practices, and there is essentially no means for replicating a curriculum across systems and content.

Is that about right? Or is there some other issue I am missing why you would rather load yourself up with tens of thousands dollars for a brick-and-mortar education?

I'm by not means a fan of this subject approach, but I'm more generally curious about the issues.

It does kind of make sense to me that user-owned things should kind of live in /Users/username.

Unfortunately that pattern in this case would lead to the redundant-seeming /Users/username/usr/local, but at least that's rooted to the user in the event other users don't want a "global" Homebrew install.

Also, I believe (even if it kills some ignorant build scripts) that Homebrew lets you reconfigure where this directory lives, anyway.

They say it has gigabit ethernet though, and the specs don't quite match up. Another big sticking point is the server software itself. They make a big fuss about it supporting "multiple cores", but no real explanation of how they do that. It's not like that's something that you turn on in a config option, so either they are using some already done server replacement, or they wrote their own, which I highly doubt, and would be skeptical about using/relying on.

If you're interested in the probabilistic approach, this is how it works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperLogLog

"The basis of the HyperLogLog algorithm is the observation that the cardinality of a multiset of uniformly-distributed random numbers can be estimated by calculating the maximum number of leading zeros in the binary representation of each number in the set. If the maximum number of leading zeros observed is n, an estimate for the number of distinct elements in the set is 2^n."
This is all in good fun, but let's also recognize that there is serious utility for this form of communication - especially in complex electromagnetic environments like wartime.

To that end, as recently as 2011 Chinese PLA have 10s of thousands of trained carrier pigeons for secure message transport.[1]

Apart from that, there are many actors who could have done it. What I find surprising is that obviously noone is interested in providing supporting material for his side's theory. No satellite images, no radio tower comm, weird versions of the Dutch report on the black boxes (one with a sentence blaming Russia, the other one without that very sentence), it just appears so much politics that it doesn't pass the smell test.

How the ghosts in Pac-Man decide where to go
/sigh/ - I suppose I shouldn't have assumed that I could skip over the details of China's rare earth strategy.

Of course they aren't "rare"; I'm obviously referring to China's cornered market on refinement. I also didn't claim anything about the future trends of the rare earth market. We could (and should) rebuild domestic sources, but that takes time and requires fighting regulation.

I'm simply saying that I find it extremely unlikely that we would go to war with China when they are de facto a necessary part of military and industry supply chains. China wants the profit, and it would be stupid for us to start a war when reopening domestic mining and refinement industries would be cheaper.

They do show the real dollar cost as well. I assume this is if you had to pay for each MB of data usage though.
Here is the main point of the article:

Students at private colleges received an average 42 percent discount on their tuition in 2014-2015. As recently as 2010, it was 36 percent.

There is another number that is perhaps even more important for students and parents to consider. The same survey, from the national association of college financial officers, found that the average discount for first-year students is 48 percent. That gap of six percentage points between the overall rate and the discount for freshmen usually means that colleges are giving bigger grants to first-year students than everyone else.

In other words, it’s a classic bait and switch. Colleges attract students with a bigger discount and a boatload of financial aid the first year, and then once the students like the campus and want to stay to actually finish their degree, they give the students less aid for their remaining years.

The author never fully distinguishes between scholarships and financial aid. He lumps them together in a "discount" category. The two forms of cost-saving are very different and should have been addressed separately in the article.

It makes sense that merit scholarships pay our more on aggregate to freshmen rather than seniors, as some percentage will lose their scholarships due to poor grades (happened to a friend), social infractions, or some other merit scholarship-ending action. Most scholarships in my experience are real (half tuition, full tuition) rather than nominal ($25k per year).

I can't speak to financial aid, but I assume it's like any other contract where you can see the terms and conditions and amount that the college is willing to subsidize your education expenses every year, subject to certain academic and social standing requirements. Again, some percentage of students probably lose financial aid for not meeting these requirements from one year to the next. Maybe it's easier to game financial aid as tuition rises and students are offered a fixed nominal amount?

Is it fair to characterize financial aid as a bait and switch?
I had the same experience in the betas so I've been a little confused by all the problems people are experiencing.
This is an excellent example. The other thing I would assume is that a lot more of everyday activity in the 1980s required a little more human physical input and a little less waiting for a machine to stop. Using or even moving typewriters, manual steering, prepping food, cleaning without machines doing small prep instead of standing in front of a microwave, getting up to change the TV station.

While we could construct modern measures, I doubt we have good measures for all of the micro-tasks in the 1980s..
I imagine that would only apply to sites which store PII[1]. The database should be located under the same jurisdiction (which doesn't mean every country, since some will have treaties to allow exporting to certain places (EU for example)) as the person whose data it is, and the data should not be transferred through other jurisdictions.

Mutual funds certainly don't offer the "best" returns (generally).

This demonstrates why people need financial advisors, just like we need, say, auto mechanics. Most people don't have the time or inclination to learn about investing. Unfortunately, just like auto mechanics, many are out to make a buck off of client's lack of knowledge.

Hello HN, I'm a very young developer only 18 I have developed a product in my free time but unsure how to put it out their it's focused on companies who have factories or facilities with labor workers or related...

All investment would be based on whatever happened to be indexed. Which would mean that somewhat-competent advisers would probably be able to beat the market and therefore be worth their fees.

Hombrew doesn't want to use a location that is outside the default PATH, and they don't want to install with proper permissions, so they purposefully misinterpret the "standard".
