Indeed. Separation of accounts and profiles isn't really related to artificial separation of existing services which prevents interoperability. Accounts should be separable according to user's preferences, and not according to how services decided not to federate. It's pretty self explanatory.
Hi, I’d Like to Add Myself to the New Yorker
I think this is off-base though. The core of Evernote is to act as your brain's extended memory. Notes, tags, and while it's a new feature, I'd also say reminders. Roughly everyone uses that, and it's far more than 5% of the feature set. Maybe 50%. Then there are a number of other features that are probably useful to many people, like web clipping, and storing (and perhaps annotating) attachments such as PDFs. Maybe even shared notebooks.

Then, there are a bunch of features which I expect are each used by a tiny subset of users, but perhaps a larger chunk of users who would be likely to attend an Evernote conference. Things like work chat, food, hello, penultimate, scannable. I'm not saying any of these things is worthless, but they are each useful to only a small subset of users. For some incomprehensible reason, all the focus seemed to be on these types of features for quite some time. Hopefully that is now changing.
the overall stock market crashing 95-99% is most definitely an exaggeration, but yes a perceptible fall would happen

I use it, but I think Google keep does a better job than Evernote. Couple of things in Evernote annoy me:

1. App start is slow

2. Update process. It should be silent. I dont want to read update release notes. Just update it.

3. Remove unwanted features. Have Fewer buttons.

4. Editing in mobile app is big pain. I use android.

5. In general everything must be quick, smooth and Easy.

Positives

1. Rich text editing

2. File attachment with notes

3. Plugins etc.
You are mixing up the need to separate accounts / identities (which even single client can easily do even for the same service), and artificial separation of services caused by the lack of interoperability. Those are completely unrelated issues (first is something that user should have a choice to do, second is something forced on the user).

I explained it here as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10856612
I'm hoping that Winforms/WPF apps are supported at some time soon.
They mention that the ape was mainly restricted to forests - wouldn't a metabolically-imposed habitat restriction limit the species' exposure to ex situ adaptations?

Which is to say, we gain insight into how metabolism, specialization and extinction play together. Although, perhaps this is what you meant by correlating extinction and inability to adapt?
When is the last time you hear CPython performance objectives and improvements?

I think the main problem of 2-3 transition is not the incompatibilities, but lack of gain. If Py3k is 20% faster than Py2k it's a strong signal for mass upgrading.

I know your talking about economic mistakes, but in my eyes, it's more than mistakes. If you have a horrid foundation, you can't expect a structure to rise, or hold it's own weight.

Copy-pasted summary, with emphasis added:

"The demise of the giant ape Gigantopithecus has been the focus of recent study, where researchers have reached the conclusion that the presumably largest apes in geological history died due to their insufficient adaptability. Analyses of fossil tooth enamel show that the primates were restricted to forested habitats."

So, the forest turned into savannah faster than they could adapt. Similar things happened and happens to zillions of species.
No.

Currently .NET Native (AOT) is used with WinStore apps - in fact every Win10 .NET application in the store and on your computer HAS to be .NET Native - but the plan is to make compiling a native DLL possible for all .NET Core applications.
Really? Color me corrected, then :) Does the compiler need a SAT solver then to make sure all the constraints hold?

I'm so happy to see arguments specified with "-" and "--" (UNIX-style) instead of "/" (DOS-style).

The DOS-style CLI arguments used by Microsoft's other command line tools seem like such a stubborn throwback to a long-lost war. "/" won the battle for folder path separators (see: URLs) and "-" won the battle for argument delimiters.

Has any species ever died out for anything other than "inability to adapt"? If they were able to adapt, wouldn't they still be here?
I think that works until the cable companies essentially become defunct. Once that happens Netflix, being the 500lb gorilla in the room, will be the highest bidder for your content even if Netflix is the lowest bidder per view because Netflix will have all the eyes. Showtime is now available as an add-on to Hulu. It will be interesting to see how this model works out for them as opposed to the HBO self-streaming model. I suspect the end game will kill off both of those models because, again, I speculate even if the per-view revenue via Netflix are lower your over-all revenue would be higher.

Regarding the design part: I usually find a couple of landing pages that I like and create something similar with the colors I prefer. Or buy one from ThemeForest.

Back-end: Whatever I prefer at the time. If you're building a project with RoR, it does not mean that the landing page has to be done with that. A simple PHP/NodeJS app works great since it can be much faster to build.

All in all, I try not to spend too much time on the landing page. Usually, more time is spent figuring out what's best to show on the page itself than building it.

We have both in our company. And they stills struggle with Python 2 in many cases because software just never got updated to 3 (but still is somewhat active). While our Ruby team could just upgrade one after the other thing, especially as most gems pretty soon supported 1.9 as well.

Very interesting. I'm hardly a bio/ecologist but I think that I have some links you may find pertinent:

* The Lindy effect [0] is a theory of the life expectancy of non-perishable things that posits for a certain class of nonperishables, like a technology or an idea, every additional day may imply a longer (remaining) life expectancy:[1] the mortality rate decreases with time. This contrasts with living creatures and mechanical things, which instead follow a bathtub curve, where every additional day in its life translates into a shorter additional life expectancy (though longer overall life expectancy, due to surviving this far): after childhood, the mortality rate increases with time.

* Correlations, Risk and Crisis: From Physiology to Finance [1] - "in crisis, typically, even before obvious symptoms of crisis appear, correlation increases, and, at the same time, variance (and volatility) increases too."

* Liebig's Law [2] - growth is constrained by the minimum resource, not the total of resources

* Metabolic theory of ecology [3] - the metabolic rate of an organism governs observed ecological patterns

"I dropped a cold steak on the surface, then checked the pan temperature under the steak after a few smoking minutes."

This is wrong. Of course, temperature will even out after few minutes, but for steaks (and other food you want to sear) the initial temperature drop is important -- the higher it is, the higher chance that your steak will be steamed, not seared. Heavier pans retain more heat (that's why heavy copper, cast iron and stainless steel pans took longer to heat during the first experiment), but that's a good thing when making food.
Also, what this article didn't mention, is that light, cheap pans tend to deform as soon as after few uses, what makes cooking food evenly nearly impossible on a flat surface. Cast iron and stainless steel pans, on the other hand, are nearly indestructible if used correctly, I know cases when people still use their >100 years old cast iron pans from their grand-grand fathers.

Hear hear. What finally prompted me to switch from Evernote to Workflowy (even though Workflowy has maybe 1% of the features that Evernote does) was that when I opened the Workflowy app on my phone, I could be assured that I would see exactly what I'd finished entering on my computer, even if I'd only entered it a few seconds ago. Heck, I can enter stuff on my computer and watch my phone update in almost real time.

When I first saw Workflowy's synchronization, coming from Evernote, it seemed almost magical.
Hello HN,

First of all, let me say that this community is a bit guilty that I left my job two years ago and launched a startup, so I wanted to share it with you :)

We are doing a soft launch of Puput, a service that lets you hear your emails (and more) for free when you have no internet, with a missed call. We've spent some time doing R+D in the telephony field and we saw that the "tone" that plays before a phone pickup can be changed from the server, so that's what we did.

After experimenting with email login, we decided to structure the product as an email inbox, where you can forward important emails using filters, and this address will misscall you when there is a new message. You don't pick up that call, but misscall back. Then the server will play a TTS (or a voice memo, if attached) with the email contents, and hang up... without picking up.

We decided to launch it for free to get feedback and see its acceptance. We plan to make money with custom integrations, basically doing consulting to integrate Puput with businesses. We have more complex products which we think aren't very attractive to end users, but can be interesting for businesses: slack integration (call everyone to make sure a message is received), broadcast audio messages with a single call, alert escalation like pagerduty, package tracking using GPS without a data plan...

It's difficult to find which uses are the best fit for a "new" technology, so we decided to tell hackers first -- data with missed calls is actually new, but it seems we are the first ones to use it in production.

Some friends already signed up, and nothing has exploded yet.
We’d really, really love your feedback. It’s a service built by hackers, for hackers, and we chose email specifically because it is scriptable and decentralized (read more here https://medium.com/@puput_io/email-will-not-be-killed-ce4387...)

It all started with a simple asterisk hack which sent data to a Postfix filter... and here we are today! I think it’s pretty cool.

Please share your feedback!

The exporting process is a pain too. It doesn't transfer well to word or pages and doesn't transfer well to html. It's all stuck in evernote...

If you can avoid the misunderstanding, then sure. But even then you don't always have the time to explain yourself fully. Sometimes, the very ideas you are expressing are liable to trigger strong emotions in other people. It can't be helped.

What is the most bullshit sounding true fact that you know?
It is somewhat similar because the long-term effects were malicious/not known in the short term. But its not exactly the same because anyone can switch internet carriers at any time (nobody gets medically tied to Free Basics).

'Facebook addiction' isn't as objectively proven as the side effects mentioned in the article. 'Tracking usage data and privacy snooping' isn't as harmful as the side effects mentioned, because poor people probably value their 'usage data' less and access to basic resources like Wikipedia/job posting sites/health and weather reports more. (and its just fear and speculation that facebook will maliciously track all data passing through its servers, but we are treating it like inevitable fact)

No, they do exactly the opposite. They act to moderate the market. When markets are down they drop interest rates to stimulate investment, but when markets are booming they raise interest rates and limit the money supply to try and calm them down. Western economists and central bank leaders are very well aware of how damaging over inflated markets can be and one of their primary goals is to moderate the boom and bust cycle.

You're directly funding the lifestyles of everybody involved in everything you buy. I don't see this as a negative.

That said, the studio will probably get at least half of each of those $5, and I've known people who think absolutely nothing of renting movies for $5 multiple times per day, literally no cognitive difference between picking some $5 movie on iTunes and choosing another one on Netflix. Multiply that, e.g. 1% * $global, and pretty soon you're talking about real money for everybody.

$10-25million is nothing to pay an actor with a main part in a movie that may make $5 billion dollars for the studio.
It's a pretty good article, you should read it.

I think this article is overreaching trying to draw a general lesson from evernote, Google, apple, etc. Google and Apple are much different cases than evernote. Theres no reason to talk about them in the context of Evernote's problems except that everyone knows them and the author thinks he understands how they work well enough to make a comparison.
