A superficially obvious idea, but it misses the point of the article. Web apps solve almost none of the problems mentioned in the article, and the introduce some of their own.

They don't solve any of the deep inter-app and cross-app integrations Dan talks about, except discoverability. They arguably solve sharing, but that's very questionable when your only form of "sharing" is copy/paste, which is not as easy as tapping on buttons on mobile. They don't solve the problem of keeping track of apps (at best - if a user adds web pages to their home screen, they are no worse than normal mobile apps). They revert everything back to a pull-based model, when what Dan is suggesting is an organized push-based model (as opposed to the push notification chaos today). And so on...

And then web apps introduce massive (in relative terms) latency / load times, which is a whole other can of worms, which is even worse than downloading multiple mobile apps. Yeah, you can talk about <foo> initiative to speed up web apps, but the fact is, nobody can really enforce those things.

Actually, I think web apps could do it. Some browser could just add a ton of proprietary JS APIs for notification, payment, identity, etc, in the same way that WeChat and Kik have.

The Chinese web browsers are beginning to bolt on features in the same way the chat apps have. News, offline file storage, ebook stores with offline support, etc.

Chrome almost had the right idea, but their app store makes no distinction between web-based apps that actually make use of Chrome's app-specific APIs and those that are just normal websites. There is no standard for a good experience from a Chrome app.

No reason Chrome/UC Browser/Brave/Opera in the west couldn't throw caution to the wind and rachet it up all the way, then wait a few years for WC3 to come along and pick up the pieces.

HN has a totally different userbase (though there is some cross over) than Reddit. To me Reddit's trollish uninformed arguments are what makes it funny. For instance, /r/The_Donald and /r/SandersForPresident are basically parodies of themselves. Frankly, I'm going to go to Reddit for a laugh, and maybe a few sorted threads with insight into live events unfolding...but if I want something serious I'm not going to go there. Reddit to me is like Something Awful used to be but on a much larger scale, and that's why I like it. If Reddit ever matured to be like HN, I would probably stop going there. It's a happy medium between dashing moments of HN like insight and 4Chan like stupidity.
Oh, interesting. I'll pass this along to our developers. Thanks for letting me know, and sorry about that!

I'm a native English-speaker, and I don't speak anything else fluently, but I speak enough of a few languages to have basic conversations in them (that is, enough to go beyond just using phrases that I learned from a book).

Every now and then, I'll forget a word in English but remember it in another language. My internal monologue tends to be English-ish (especially right now, when I'm composing a post), but if the sounds for a word are missing, the concept will fill its place...or sometimes the closest equivalent of whichever language I've been thinking about lately. I can also think almost completely in wordless concept-strings, but that sometimes feels forced.

Maybe I should mention that I learned a few words in French, German, and Spanish before I was 8, but the first time that I really studied a language in the usual sense was when I was about 12.

> It's actually hard for me to imagine what people mean by pictures in the mind. Surely nobody imagines things the way they see things?

We do!

When I'm focused on imagining something, it's similar to if there were a 5% opacity layer - of what I've imagined - overlaying my normal vision. Only the opacity is really 0%, but I'm still able to perceive it... somehow. I can look at a table, and imagine a mug on it, and I'll "see" the invisible 0% opacity mug there. A 1% opacity wireframe/outline of the mug would be very very similar to what I "see".

I can then close my eyes and "picture" the room still. I can get up and try to navigate the room - it's not working off a collection of factoids about where objects roughly are compared to each other or where I was, it's much more like vision. There are hazards - my actual position and my imagined position won't stay perfectly in sync and will drift apart over time. And if someone moved around the furniture, that won't be reflected in my imagined world, leading me to try and sit on nonexistant chairs or trip over tables that are invisible... within my invisible, imagined, room.

I don't have to base what I'm picturing off of reality, although my imagination struggles to fill out entire scenes on it's own consciously if it doesn't have a template to work off of. Details get left out or abstracted.

I can keep my eyes open and do this as well. I notice that I automatically and subconsciously take steps to reduce the impact of my real senses when I do this - this typically means I look up towards some boring part of the ceiling or sky, defocus my vision, and reduce the amount of attention I'm paying to my senses. I may or may not close my eyes when trying to "picture" something. This all reduces the impact of what's "behind" the invisible "semitransparent" layer of my imagined pictures.

I can do similar with other senses. I can imagine what pizza tastes like - if you took away the flavor of pizza until you're no longer sure or not if you're actually tasting anything, the physical experience is similar to that. Same with smells - just take the real experience, and then dilute it to the point where you're no longer sure if you're actually smelling the thing or not. Interestingly, imagined touch and feel might be a bit more vivid for me - imagining myself on a warm and sunny beach, I do actually feel (still very slightly) warmer.

Same deal, although my visualization ability is weaker than most in general I think, faces are definitely the hardest.

For me the feeling is very similar to having a word just on the "tip of your tongue", where you know the word you want, you can feel it, its meaning, etc. You know you'd recognize it instantly if you heard (saw) it, but you can't quite bring it up.

Sometimes I can't even tell if I actually am visualizing a face or not, because it's like for a split second I feel like I can almost see it, but then when I focus on it, it's gone. And other times I know I have seen people's faces in my mind, but it's generally spontaneous, not when I actively try to pull one up. Kind of like seeing something in your peripheral vision, but not being able to focus on it.
Been a huge fan of KeePass for years and recommend it to anyone that listens.

I created EnterPass (https://enterpass.co) based on the flexibility, simplicity and security of KeePass.

It's for companies to manage passwords across teams and want to keep the passwords stored inside their own networks... not on the cloud. Oh, and you don't need to remember a master password to use it as it uses Active Directory for permissions.

KeePass has been a huge influence.
Their private areas of the internet, namely Stormfront, predate Reddit. Before Reddit allowed racists and moot created /pol/, they didn't have a real platform to spread their propaganda, so you had to look pretty hard for sites like that. If they only had private forums, events like the Charleston shooting wouldn't have happened.
What about more abstract tasks that could be solved by visualization, such as "What is the shape of the graph of y = x^2" or "Given any shape made out of six squares, is it possible to fold it into a cube?" Would you be able to solve these kinds of questions mentally, and if so, how?

As an example, for the cube question, I would generally solve it by visualizing the shape starting out flat and then getting folded 90 degrees inward at each crease until it either forms a complete cube, in which case the answer is yes, or two of the squares are forces to overlap each other, in which case the answer is no. To be clear, I'm not imagining any person's hands actually performing the act of folding, I'm just visualizing the abstract shape floating an otherwise featureless void, folding of its own accord. In fact, here's a video that more or less shows what I would visualize: https://vimeo.com/64926672

How about using that nifty Tor browser they keep rebroadcasting to access a hidden service website to vote and issue requests? Hidden services cannot by definition be accessed without Tor and are thus more secure from prying eyes, even when used by non-technical users.

> everything someone creates is always built upon the knowledge of others

Right. Sure. These are the kinds of beliefs often verbalized by people who never risked their own time and money to solve hard problems and had to face the risk and reality of the Chinese (or others) stealing the results of that effort.

Here's the difference, the "R" in "R&D" is the most expensive part. The "D" is cheap. By stealing they get the "R" for free and can afford devastating predatory techniques to own the market.

We devoted ten years and millions of dollars to solving a very hard problem. I decided we would keep all of it a trade secret.

Why?

Because, that was the only way to make "D" very expensive. Stealing something when the cost is just as high as having to develop it often scares away a lot of thieves.

It's one thing if you are developing a new set of headphones that don't really have much in the way of technical innovation. It's quite another thing when you are solving a hard problem (which can be risky, very expensive and require a long and constant effort).
> subsidised through Obamacare provisions

Obamacare mandates access to insurance (from a dwindling group of participating insurers), it is not a direct subsidy.

In fact, Obamacare has raised insurance rates for most people, as insurers cancelled most plans because they "were not compatible" with Obamacare, and re-enrolled members at higher rates than before.
It's a language powerful enough to let you design a custom template system, i.e. it's second-order meta-programming, pushing the leveraging potential way farther than most people would even consider offhand. This kind of thing doesn't matter so much when you have a system already described within a few thousand lines, but it gains credence as more of the code consists of business logic and data models - stuff that has its own programming ruleset.

An internal, interpreted DSL can be written to do similar, but I think the point of this tool is to ease the process of writing the DSL itself, and to make the resulting runtime efficient.

Even if moores law is working at the same pace as before, you still won't see it in 15 years, let alone how moores law has slowed, and dead in price / transistors terms. Price for 10nm are in 10 billions. And will go even more expensive when we go down further.
I think my visualization ability is poor compared to most people, but I can definitely tell you that it starts with an image, which you can then describe in text, not the other way around. For instance, when I imagine a beach, I pull up a (rough, fuzzy, for me) picture in my mind. Then I actually look at the picture and notice that, for instance, it's in kind of a U-shape around a small inlet. In fact, it actually took me a minute to come up with the words to describe that just now.

That said, I think an easier way to differentiate is to imagine a beach you've actually been to. When I tried to do that, the first thing to come to mind was a lake near my house. And I saw more of the lake than the beach actually - the trees behind it, the parking lot off to one side, etc. Thinking logically about that one, my mental picture is actually flawed, because that parking lot is farther away than it is in the mental picture that came up!

It seems like for a lot of people, the pictures actually have a "mind of their own" to some extent. Another comment mentioned imagining a triangle, and it turned out it was spinning. I can totally see that happening. You don't think, "I'm going to imagine a spinning triangle" or something - you just attempt to pull up a picture of a triangle, and your brain gives you a representation. Details you don't decide on will be filled in.

It really is fascinating. And from reading other comments on this post and others like it, it sounds like some people have a far stronger ability to visualize than I do. I'm mildly jealous, but at the same time, the OP for instance has obviously done just fine without - and is also a highly entertaining writer!
